Weight Management Pennsylvania was stalled Tuesday in the state Senate after three Republicans joined five
202-667-5041 Democrats to vote against it.
The chamber’s Judiciary Committee voted 8-6 to table the measure that would have begun a

Licensed Professional Counselor that he was pleased the proposed ban was tabled.
Certifed in Hypnotherapy and NLP “I believe that [this bill] is the antithesis of what Pennsylvanians need and want, and I am
