Rader Appointed to Chair House Committee
Jan. 08, 2025
HARRISBURG - Rep. Jack Rader (R-Monroe) this week was appointed to serve as Republican chair of the newly created Environmental and Natural Resources Protection Committee in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 2025-26 Legislative Session.
"I look forward to taking on this added responsibility and am grateful to our House Republican Caucus leaders for naming me to this important position," said Rader. "As a lifelong Monroe County resident, I appreciate the great outdoors and understand its significant role in the Commonwealth's economy. I plan to work with my colleagues in advancing legislation to preserve and protect our environment for the benefit of all Pennsylvanians."
The House Environmental and Natural Resources Protection Committee is responsible for legislative oversight of environmental laws administered by both the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The committee addresses issues involving clean air, land and water; radioactive and other waste disposal; recycling; and more.
Standing committees are a cornerstone of the legislative process. All bills are assigned to a committee to undergo review. Committees may hold hearings on legislation, consider amendments to pending bills and report them to the full House for a vote.
Rader and other House members took the oath of office on Jan. 7 to officially begin the new session.
