Pennsylvania Act 25 of 2024: Mandating 9/11 Remembrance and Education in Schools

Pennsylvania Act 25 of 2024 originated as House Bill 1097, authored by Rep. Jim Haddock. There was no separate Senate bill—HB 1097 passed both chambers and was signed by Governor Shapiro on June 17, 2024. The law requires schools to observe a moment of silence on 9/11 and directs the Department of Education to create optional curriculum materials about the attacks.
