House honors former representative Lederer

Summary#

HR-669 is a Pennsylvania House resolution honoring the life and service of former Representative Marie A. Lederer. It does not amend an Act or create a new law or public program; its stated goal is to recognize her service. The supplied status lists it as enacted and signed, though the document itself is a House resolution, not a statute.

  • The House directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to Lederer’s family.
  • The resolution also recounts her community work and the Marie Lederer Senior Center, but it does not create or fund services there.
