Newly unveiled bills aim to modernize access to PA Treasury

( WJET/WFXP ) – A new package of bills has been unveiled that aims to modernize access to the Pennsylvania Treasury.

On Monday, July 1, State Representative Ryan Bizzarro (D-Erie) unveiled the Modernizing Access to Treasury and Housing Act, or MATH Act.

The MATH Act is a package of four bills intended to increase accessibility in the housing market.

Those bills would fund financial institutions that provide low-interest loans, create new infrastructure funding and update the PA Treasury’s unclaimed property process.

Representative Bizzarro commented on why he believes the MATH Act is an important piece of legislation to pass for Pennsylvania.

“We need to make it easier for people to establish roots here in Pennsylvania. We can do that by investing in our communities, modernizing access to housing and ensuring residents receive the property they’re entitled to,” Bizzarro said.
