Passed by the Senate 29-21 on Wednesday, SB 613 would require Wolf's office to align state policy with federal guidelines in determining which businesses will be allowed to reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses which can safely operate with mitigation strategies in line with the CDC and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's guidelines would be allowed to operate, according to language in the bill approved by the Republican senate.

The measure was sent to Wolf's desk for his signature or veto. He has given no indication what he will do - however earlier this week he joined a coalition of northeastern governors from Delaware, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut, who are developing a plan to determine when it would be appropriate to reopen, and how it would be done.
