The latest news from the State Capitol

As you may know, the governor announced around 5 p.m. Thursday the mandated closure of all non-life-sustaining businesses until further notice.

The governor claims he has the authority to make such orders based on the emergency declaration issued as a result of the spread of COVID-19.

A chart from the governor that outlines what must be closed and what may stay open is available here.

The governor’s office has also offered contact information for business owners with questions about the status of their business. Questions about whether a business needs to close should be sent to ra-dcedcs@pa.gov. Businesses seeking a waiver from the order are directed to email RA-dcexemption@pa.gov.

If you have questions about unemployment claims, they may be answered here.

Information about federal Small Business Administration loans can be found here. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority offers low-interest loans and lines of credit. Information about those programs can be found here.
