Senate moving to restrict lawmakers' use of nonprofits - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: HARRISBURG – A state Senate panel today gave early approval to a rule that says senators and their family members can`t be affiliated with nonprofit corporations that receive state funding just hours after a former House member was convicted of misusing a state-funded nonprofit.
The rule was approved on a preliminary basis by the Rules Committee and is slated for a full Senate vote Tuesday. The Senate Resolution by Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware County, was introduced in April 2011.
A House rule prohibiting "legislative nonprofits" was approved in 2009.
