The committee handles a variety of issues related to insurance, banking and investments and the responsibilities of banking, insurance and investment institutions in Pennsylvania.
The senator was first named to the Banking and Insurance Committee in 2003.

“I’m honored to sit in this leadership position again and take on its challenges,” Stack said. “The Banking and Insurance Committee focuses on many issues that impact people’s daily lives, like healthcare insurance and credit card rules, and will play a major role in reviewing and enacting health care reform.”

Stack’s other committee assignments include Aging and Youth, Appropriations, Judiciary, Law and Justice, Policy and Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness.

“Before legislation heads to the Senate for a vote, the committees fine tune bills to make sure they best serve the needs of Pennsylvanians,” Stack said. “I will work with my fellow committee members to develop important legislation that has a positive impact on the people in my district and all Pennsylvanians.

“As a member of the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, I will support initiatives that benefit the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory at Southampton Road and Roosevelt Boulevard,” Stack said. “As a Policy Committee member, I look forward to shaping Democratic initiatives on open government, healthcare reform and tax reform.”
