Heffley Named Republican Chairman of House Human Services Committee
Dec. 11, 2024
HARRISBURG - State Rep. Doyle Heffley (R-Carbon) today announced he has been selected to serve as Republican chairman of the House Human Services Committee for the 2024-25 Legislative Session. This is the second consecutive session he has held this position.
"It is a great privilege to be re-appointed as the Republican Chairman of the Human Services Committee," Heffley said. "Having served on this committee throughout my time in the Legislature, I have witnessed the positive impact we can have, from leading efforts like the opioid task force to addressing the challenges of overprescribing, to ensuring that our most vulnerable citizens have access to the critical care and support they need.
"I remain committed to making certain taxpayer dollars are used responsibly, and I will continue to root out any waste or fraud that threaten the integrity of our programs. I am excited to build on our past successes and collaborate across party lines to create fair and effective regulations for the Commonwealth. While I am committed to working together to improve services for all Pennsylvanians, if issues arise that conflict with our core values or that we cannot support, I will oppose them. We will focus on practical solutions that meet the needs of our communities while ensuring efficiency and accountability in the process."
The House Human Services Committee oversees issues within the Department of Human Services and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Additionally, the committee plays a key role in shaping legislation related to mental health, drug and alcohol crises, and the heroin and opioid overdose epidemic, working to prevent these dangerous substances from falling into the wrong hands. The committee will continue holding hearings on the delivery of human services across the Commonwealth, addressing the challenges faced by individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as those in need of mental health and substance abuse treatment.
