HARRISBURG – The PA Senate approved Senate Resolution 244 to establish a Task Force on Child Protection in the Digital Age. The legislation would direct the Joint State Government Commission to convene a task force, to meet no less than once every two years, to review PA’s existing statutes, assess emerging technologies, and identify statutory gaps in protections for children in the digital environment. The commission will issue a report and recommendations for action to the General Assembly. By establishing an ongoing review process, the legislation ensures that PA’s laws keep pace with the digital age and that statutes and policies are continually reevaluated, updated, and strengthened to close gaps and protect children.
