  • A Democratic state representative from Western Pennsylvania suffered a health emergency and is expected to be absent from the first day of the legislative session on Tuesday, putting the party's one-seat majority in the state House in jeopardy after Democrats narrowly hung on to control of the chamber in the 2024 election.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is currently experiencing a 101-101 tie as it begins its legislative session, following a health emergency involving Democratic State Representative Kevin Boyle. Boyle, who has been dealing with mental health issues, was hospitalized after an incident at a bar, leading to his absence from the session. This situation has left the House without a clear majority, with Democrats holding 101 seats and Republicans also at 101, after a special election win by Democrat Jim Prokopiak. The tie has significant implications for legislative activities, particularly affecting the passage of bills and the potential override of vetoes by Governor Josh Shapiro. Speaker Joanna McClinton has expressed hope for Boyle's recovery and return, while the House GOP has called for a special election to fill Boyle's seat to resolve the deadlock.
