(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release yesterday in Harrisburg from Representative Dan Moul’s office in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania House passed legislation yesterday sponsored by Moul (R-Adams) that will make cash an acceptable form of payment for admission to school-sponsored events in Pennsylvania. Many Pennsylvania schools have been rejecting money as a form of payment for events and activities that are school-sponsored, instead having a requirement for spectators to use debit or credit cards, or order through an app or online. Moul states that these policies have disenfranchised many children, poor people and seniors who may not have smart phones, credit cards or the technical capabilities to access the internet so they can purchase tickets.
