Corman Urges Governor to Sign 'Fair Share Act'

 

HARRISBURG -- Today Sen. Jake Corman urged Governor Ed Rendell to sign Senate Bill 435, the Fair Share Act into law.

 

"It comes to my attention that the Governor is considering vetoing the Fair Share Act because it does not contain provisions regarding food purveyor immunity," Corman said.  "If the Governor is truly concerned about protecting the fast food industry in Pennsylvania, there is currently a bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee that we can work on together."

 

"The Fair Share Act is too important to risk losing the bill to another constitutional challenge on the single subject rule," said Corman.  "Vetoing this bill brings us no closer to establishing food purveyor immunity.  If the Governor is truly interested in establishing this type of immunity, he should work with the Senate in passing House Bill 670 and sign the Fair Share Act into law."
