The House Labor & Industry Committee on the call of the chair moved House Resolution 385 forward to the next stage, designating March 21, 2026, as Rosie the Riveter Day in Pennsylvania.
Ryan, a committee staff member, summarized the measure, saying, "House resolution 3 85, printers number 2753, designates 03/21/2026 as Rosie the Riveter Day in Pennsylvania." Representative Schusterman, who addressed the committee in support, said the resolution "honors the thousands of Pennsylvania women who joined the workforce to support our country during World War II" and urged members to vote yes.
Representative Cooper said she would cosponsor the resolution and shared a family anecdote about her mother-in-law, saying the relative "worked in a plant ... making the bombers." Chair Rolfe added local context about business-led efforts to aggregate small manufacturers for defense contracts, emphasizing the manufacturing role women played during the war.
After brief remarks and without extended debate, the committee voted to report House Resolution 385 favorably as committed.
