Gov. Tom Wolf is asking President Biden to declare a major disaster in Pennsylvania due to heavy rains, severe flash flooding and tornadoes in the commonwealth last week from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. The governor is seeking a major disaster declaration allowing assistance to individuals for Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and York counties.
The suspended regulations cover everything from training and inspections to the rights and living standards of people in group homes and children in foster care.
Republican lawmakers have repeatedly tried to overturn pandemic response policies undertaken by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf over the past year.
The commonwealth will continue providing emergency services and extensions due to the coronavirus pandemic, with one notable exception.
