Kristin Phillips-Hill

February 7, 2023 – Our Club had a great discussion this morning with PA Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill about state-related issues.  Kristin Phillips-Hill was elected to serve York County residents in the 28^th Pennsylvania Senate district representing the majority of York County.    As a former small business owner and school board director, Kristin has made government efficiency a point of emphasis throughout her tenure in public service. Throughout her first term in the Senate, Kristin spearheaded a concerted bipartisan and bicameral effort to improve access to high-speed internet in Pennsylvania through her role as chair of the Communications & Technology Committee. She also serves as one of four legislative appointments to the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority. She reviewed reapportionment changes to York County and Regulatory permitting reform.  She introduced Senate Bill 350, which would require every state agency to post all permits issued on its publicly accessible website.  State agencies would also be required to create an accessible tracking system for applicants to check the status of their applications and clearly state the legal authority that the agency relies on when rejecting a permit application. In total, Kristin authored eight new laws as a senator and had several bills she wrote and provided to House members also signed into law.  She continues to oppose new taxes and supports legislation calling for greater reform and transparency of government at all levels but starting at the state level where she serves.
