Police Commissioner Thomas Carter spoke about the deadly shooting of pregnant woman in Harrisburg.
COLUMBIA, Pa. — A week after the Pennsylvania State House passed HB 1632, local municipalities are voicing their concerns about the impacts the bill would have on their budgets.
“This is the legislation they are asking for. They don’t ask for many things," said Rep. O'Mara . “It will encourage them to seek the treatment instead of trying to hide it or avoid it because they’re afraid they’ll no longer be able to provide for their family.” “Ideally, when an emergency responder faces a PTSD incident, they should immediately have resources available for them to address it then and there, and not wait," said Stern."The longer you wait, the more difficult it might be to address it."
Columbia Borough is already covered by the State Worker's Insurance Fund since 2011. Borough manager Mark Stivers is worried the increase in premiums would cut significantly into the budget.
