Gov. Shapiro Signs 3 Executive Orders
The orders limit state data collection, renew the Developmental Disabilities Council and create a 30-member advisory commission.
- On Wednesday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed three executive orders to strengthen rights and privacy protections for residents with disabilities, mandating state agencies limit data collection and increase disability representation in policy.
- These protections respond to concerns regarding federal data collection, specifically plans by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to gather private health information; Shapiro pledged to block state compliance with federal disability registries.
- The orders establish a new Governor's Advisory Commission on People with Disabilities with up to 30 volunteer members and reestablish the Developmental Disabilities Council to advise the administration on state laws and programs.
- "Far too often, decisions have been made about people with disabilities, but not with them," Shapiro said. The Arc of Pennsylvania praised the move for granting the community a formal seat at the table.
- State agencies are now directed to go above and beyond federal standards for accessibility and non-discrimination, while the administration accepts applications for the Advisory Commission's Executive Director to oversee implementation.
