      In the next coming days, my Dem colleagues & I will flex our legislative 💪🏾 to get our country back on track because nearly 60 million Americans voted for us to do what’s best for our country and enact legislation that will make our communities stronger>>>https://evans.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/evans-sworn-part-democratic-house-majority-plans-introduce-bills-gun …

      That’s why I'll reintroduce my 1st bill, HR 922, the Rehabilitation of Historic Schools Act, which allows public school buildings to qualify for a tax credit to address our crumbling schools. In #Philly, the avg age of a school building is 70 yrs old – that’s simply unacceptable!

      Another bill I'll reintroduce is the Healthy Communities Act, which would require the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force to base its recommendations on health disparity populations, b/c driving just 20min w/in my district can mean a 23-yr difference in lifespan for PHL residents!

      The third bill I will reintroduce would require the #smallbiz administration to establish a grant program to address rising costs of tax compliance for small businesses, as these grants would go to small business development centers & women’s #business centers.

      Lastly, I'll introduce a bill that would effectively repeal a 05' law, the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act,” that's crippled many federal & state lawsuits against gun manufacturers. It’s time we hold these companies accountable for illegal sales and/or defective guns.

          If state Attorneys General can hold the tobacco industry accountable in the 90s, then they should be able to hold gun manufacturers accountable in the 21st century – lives depend on it! #EnoughIsEnough #EndGunViolence

          They already can be held liable for illegal sales AKA "negligent transfer" and defective products.They can't be held liable for the criminal use of a legal product.Know the current law before you make a fool of yourself.
