RCPA 2023 Capitol Day: We Need Your Support!
RCPA will be hosting our 2023 Capitol Day on Monday, April 24. During the day, RCPA will have a press conference and rally on the steps of the Capitol outside the Main Rotunda between 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm. We need your attendance, as well as that of staff and individuals/families you serve who are impacted by funding restraints, in order to show legislators, the administration, and any press in attendance that these issues — and these individuals — matter. We are also requesting that members schedule appointments with their Senate and House legislators to discuss the state budget, legislation, and regulations. Register for Capitol Day press conference/rally here.
In order to assist in your preparations for the day, you can view the updated RCPA Legislative and Administrative Priorities. Members can also visit the Pennsylvania Capitol website to find parking information and maps. If you have questions regarding our 2023 Capitol Day, please contact Jack Phillips.
We look forward to seeing you on April 24!

Adult Protective Services Proposed Regulation Posted for Public Comment
A proposed regulation related to Adult Protective Services is currently posted on the Independent Regulatory Review Commission’s (IRRC) website. This proposed regulation “identifies mandatory reporters and prescribes penalties for their failure to report suspected abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment; requires consistent and timely investigations of allegations; and when necessary, provides for protective services to mitigate risk to individuals.”
The public comment period has started and will end on May 22, 2023. Please take the opportunity to review the proposed regulation and submit any comments that you may have following the processes outlined within the timeframe allotted. Consider sharing your thoughts with Carol Ferenz or your policy division director by May 19, 2023, for inclusion in RCPA’s comments.
