This closely watched bill would have explicitly allowed local school districts to establish attendance limits at Kindergarten through Grade 12 sports and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n<p>The final vote to override was 130-71, but 135 votes were required to achieve the 2\/3 majority. The failure ultimately came down to 25 Democratic House Members who switched their votes from &#8220;aye&#8221; to &#8220;nay&#8221;. However, there was still considerable Democratic support for the bill.\u00a0According to the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rep. Anita Kulik, D-Allegheny County, shared that a student athlete suffered a broken arm in her district last week and the child\u2019s parents were not in the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI practiced family law for over 20 years,\u201d Kulik said. \u201cWe hold parents responsible for the well being of their children. I wholeheartedly believe that parents have the inherent rights to be where their children are.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article also says, &#8220;Even as the governor\u2019s veto stands, the Wolf Administration\u2019s attendance limits remain on the sidelines because of a federal court ruling last week that declared them and Wolf\u2019s stay-at-home and business closure orders to be unconstitutional. The governor had asked schools to voluntarily continue to adhere to the administration\u2019s limits: 25 people for indoor K-12 sporting contests and extracurricular activities and 250 for outdoor events for the 2020-21 school year.&#8221; See our articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/rinkatlas.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/federal-judge-rules-unconstitutional-several-executive-orders-from-pa-governor-wolf-hockey-arenas-may-benefit\/\">Judge Stickman&#8217;s ruling in Butler County v Wolf<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rinkatlas.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/pa-health-secretary-says-federal-court-decision-doesnt-affect-indoor-recreation-facilities\/\">PA Health Secretary Levine&#8217;s interpretation of the ruling<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/rinkatlas.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/usa-hockey-midam-district-argues-that-hockey-can-play-in-pennsylvania\/\">Mid-American Hockey District&#8217;s interpretation of the same ruling<\/a> for a sense of the impact on the ice hockey community in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The General Assembly&#8217;s (which is the official name of the Pennsylvania state legislature) last successful override of a gubernatorial veto occurrent in November 2010, almost 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriot-News reported that The Pennsylvania House of Representatives came up 5 votes short of overriding Governor Wolf&#8217;s veto of HB 2787, the School Sports bill.
