Just so ya know. These regulations will allow State 'inspectors' to go into any house or school or hospital with no 'warrant' and gather information on whomever they would like. They can go as far as taking your personal health history without your permission.

They can go to your child's school and interview them without the parents knowing anything about it. These regs are clearly unconstitutional. Remember, Shapiro was our Attorney General, a guy who should know about the constitution. However, he's just trying to keep us safe, right? Wrong. He's trying to take control just like our last Governor. He's just a Wolf in Shapiro clothing.

VOTE THEM OUT

The Shapiro Administration’s latest power grab is not public health. It is a deliberate attempt to resurrect the very machinery of control that Pennsylvanians rejected five years ago.

On August 8, the PA Department of Health unveiled a sweeping rewrite of the state’s disease control regulations. The proposal would authorize state agents to enter private homes, apartments, schools, and other buildings without a warrant simply by flashing a badge. It would empower bureaucrats to pull children aside at school for private interrogation. It would expand the legal justification for statewide mask mandates, exclusion from in-person education, and other coercive measures from active outbreaks to the far broader categories of “prevention” and “containment.” It would compel the reporting of every vaccination into a statewide database and, perhaps most concerning, create a mandatory birth-defect registry.

These are not modest updates but a calculated expansion of state power designed to survive the constitutional limits voters imposed after the last crisis.

I’ve seen this movie before. As mayor of Slippery Rock during the Wolf years, I saw what happens when Harrisburg decides it knows better than parents and business owners. Then Attorney General Shapiro was the enforcer. He defended indefinite business closures, gathering bans, and school mask mandates in court. He dismissed parents as “self-centered.” Small towns watched their Main Streets hollowed out, their children isolated, and their citizens treated as subjects rather than free people. Pennsylvanians finally had enough. In 2021 they amended the state constitution to restrain unilateral emergency powers. The current proposal is an attempt to achieve through regulation what the voters stripped away through the ballot box.

The irony is bitter. The same political class that spent years demanding zero tolerance for unvaccinated citizens has overseen a national policy that allowed millions of people to enter the country with unknown vaccination status and limited screening. If the primary concern is truly the spread of disease among the public, the foremost danger to Pennsylvanians is not a parent exercising a long-standing statutory exemption or a small-town school board resisting another mandate. It is the deliberate decision to prioritize open borders over the health security of American communities. Selective enforcement of “public health” is not science. It is politics.

No government agent should be empowered to meet privately with a child at school about sensitive medical matters while telling the adults responsible for that child to stand down. No administration should be handed the authority to impose sweeping measures in the name of prevention alone, free from the checks that ordinary legislation and the courts still provide. The 2021 constitutional amendment was a hard-won recognition that temporary emergencies cannot become permanent licenses for control. This regulation seeks to render that amendment meaningless by circumventing the will of the people.

Pennsylvania does not need another layer of centralized police power under the banner of public health. We need accountability, transparency, and respect for the people who live here. The Independent Regulatory Review Commission and the General Assembly still have the opportunity to reject this proposal.

Citizens who remember what it felt like when government treated their livelihoods and their children’s education as negotiable should make their voices heard before it’s too late.

CALL TO ACTION 👉
🚨 PENNSYLVANIA ACTION ALERT
Proposed PADOH Changes to Chapter 27
Regulation #10-242 | IRRC #3490

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has proposed extensive changes to 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27 — Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases.

These are PROPOSED regulations. They are NOT final.

Pennsylvanians have until:

SEPTEMBER 21, 2026

to submit public comments.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS?

The proposal contains hundreds of pages of changes. Among the provisions Pennsylvanians may want to oppose, question, or ask officials to narrow are:

• Expanded "disease control measure" authority — PADOH proposes changing the purposes for which disease-control measures can be implemented to include "prevention, containment or mitigation." PADOH specifically discusses the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Corman school masking decision when explaining this proposed change.

• Broader disease-control measures — The proposal discusses measures beyond traditional isolation and quarantine, including social distancing and restricting access to locations.

• Expansion to "conditions" and toxins — Disease-control provisions would repeatedly apply not only to diseases and infections but also to "conditions," and certain provisions address toxins and emerging diseases or conditions.

• Expanded access within schools — Schools would be required to provide health authorities reasonable and timely access to individuals for contact tracing or partner services, including while classes are in session or during school functions.

• Private contact with students — Proposed provisions would require school officials to permit health authorities to meet and speak privately with a student or other person and not interfere with rights available under Pennsylvania's existing minor-consent statute.

• Medical-record access — The proposal expressly provides for health authorities to access patient medical records, request copies and require secure electronic submission of requested records.

• School exclusions during outbreaks — The proposal contains provisions allowing susceptible individuals to be excluded during disease-control measures involving certain diseases until specified conditions are satisfied, including proof of immunity, vaccination, or expiration of an applicable outbreak period. Some outbreak exclusion authority already exists, so the concern should focus on the proposed expansions and changes.

• Expanded health surveillance — Hospitals would be required to participate in syndromic surveillance reporting, including emergency-department data.

📣 WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT

Tell PADOH and IRRC exactly what concerns you.

You do NOT need to be a lawyer, doctor or policy expert.

You are a Pennsylvania resident, parent, grandparent, health professional, taxpayer or concerned citizen, and you have the right to participate in the regulatory process.

You can discuss one issue or several.

Deadline: September 21, 2026

✉️ SAMPLE PUBLIC COMMENT

RE: Regulation #10-242 / IRRC #3490 — Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a Pennsylvania resident writing to express my opposition to Regulation #10-242 in its current form.

I recognize the Commonwealth's responsibility to respond appropriately to legitimate public-health threats. However, public-health authority must also contain clear limitations, accountability, due-process protections, medical privacy protections and safeguards for parents and children.

I am particularly concerned about provisions involving expanded disease-control authority; the addition of prevention, containment and mitigation as grounds for disease-control measures; government access within schools; contact tracing involving students; access to medical records; expanded surveillance; and exclusion of individuals from educational settings.

I am especially concerned that the Department specifically discusses the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Corman v. Acting Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health when explaining its proposed amendment to the disease-control-measures regulation.

Government authority affecting individual liberty should be clearly and narrowly defined rather than left to broad or open-ended regulatory interpretation.

I respectfully request that Regulation #10-242 be withdrawn or substantially revised to include clear statutory limitations, parental protections, medical-privacy protections, meaningful due process and appropriate legislative oversight.

I also request clear answers regarding the limits of the Department's authority under these proposed regulations and how Pennsylvania citizens will be protected from overly broad interpretations during future public-health events.

Thank you for considering my comments.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
[CITY/COUNTY], Pennsylvania

✉️ SAMPLE LETTER TO YOUR PA LEGISLATORS

Subject: Please Take Action on PADOH Regulation #10-242 / IRRC #3490

Dear Senator/Representative [NAME],

I am your constituent and am contacting you regarding the Pennsylvania Department of Health's proposed Regulation #10-242, IRRC #3490, concerning extensive changes to 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27.

I am asking you to personally review this proposal and tell your constituents what you intend to do about it.

I am concerned about several provisions, including expanded disease-control authority, government access within schools, contact tracing involving students, access to medical records, expanded surveillance and school exclusion provisions.

I am particularly concerned that PADOH specifically discusses the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Corman school masking decision when explaining why it proposes expanding the purposes for which disease-control measures may be implemented.

Public health is important, but government authority must have clear boundaries, accountability, parental protections, medical privacy and due process.

Please tell me:

Have you reviewed Regulation #10-242?
Do you support the proposed expansion of PADOH's disease-control authority?
Will you or the appropriate legislative committee submit formal comments regarding this proposal?
What actions will you take to ensure parental rights, individual liberties, medical privacy and due process are protected?
Will you oppose provisions that you determine grant overly broad or insufficiently defined authority?

I would appreciate a specific response regarding your position on Regulation #10-242 rather than a general statement about public health.

Thank you for representing our district and for taking my concerns seriously.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
[ADDRESS OR MUNICIPALITY]
