                     Action Taken by SOPA District Ministry Commission

                 During a recent meeting of the SOPA District Ministry Commission, it was

          brought to our attention of a bill coming before Pennsylvania Lawmakers to le-
          galize marijuana in the state of PA.  Our District Ministry Commission discussed
          the repercussions of approving this bill and added the Ministry Commission’s op-

          position to such approval along with other PA entities, who opposed the bill.  It
          should be noted that we will need to continue to be vigilant on this issue as well
          as others to be in support of God’s Word and the families of Pennsylvania.



          HB 1200 (“Cannabis Health & Safety Act”) aimed to legalize recreational mari-

          juana for adults 21 and older, with sales managed through state-run stores.  The
          bill narrowly passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.  The Senate
          Law and Justice Committee voted against advancing HB 1200 to the floor, effec-

          tively halting its progress in its current form.  Proponents will undoubtedly try
          again.
