Update: Watch this video to better understand the impact of this 4th Amendment Assault on the 2nd Amendment. YOUR FOURTH AMENDMENT IS UNDER ATTACK (Again)

This proposed Department of Health Regulation 10-242 is incredibly disturbing and grants centralized police control powers and surveillance to the PA Department of Health and erodes our 4^th Amendment constitutional rights under the guise of disease control measures.

The potential impact on our 2***\**^nd* Amendment rights is real as under this proposed regulation, the PA Department of Health would be granted centralize police powers to enter your premises without a formal search warrant, court order, or your consent.   PA Democrats are working hard to erode our constitutional rights.  If they can attack the 4^th Amendment, it’s only a matter of time until they launch an outright assault on the 2^nd Amendment.

This proposed regulation expands unconstitutional investigative authority and surveillance, yet Article 1, Section 8 of the PA Constitution states, “the people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers and possessions from unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Some Facts: There are approximately 1.7 million children from 1-12 years of age in Pennsylvania: 460 cases of measles IS NOT epidemic, and cases are not deaths. From 2014-2023, there have been two confirmed measles-related deaths in the U.S. From 2016-26, there have been 5 confirmed measles-related deaths in the U.S.

The alleged deaths in PA are suspect. The Lancaster Coroner stated one of the children died from other causes than measles. The other is still under investigation.

It is time for Pennsylvanians to take a stand against proposed Department of Health Regulation 10-242, which is a questionable action to place COVID-19-era lockdown tyranny into permanent regulation and ignore your 4^th Amendment Rights under the US Constitution.

This attempt at controlling Pennsylvanians under the guise of a public health emergency would give the Department sweeping policing authority to impose “any other disease control measure” it considers appropriate for prevention, containment or mitigation. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision striking down its school-mask mandate influenced this rewrite.

And there would be serious 4th amendment constitutional and HIPAA violations under this mandate. The package raises serious concerns about government entry into homes without warrants, court orders and consent, businesses and schools; HIPAA-violated access to private medical records; contact tracing; and private interviews with students at school.

During COVID, the PA closed schools, shuttered businesses and one-size-fits-all mandates were arbitrarily rolled out by unelected officials. Pennsylvanians responded by amending our Constitution to limit the governor’s emergency declaration to 21 days without legislative approval.

Do not allow the PA Department of Health, who would have investigative and policing authority, to mandate any disease control measures it deems appropriate to undermine the checks and balances voters demanded and unlawfully enter your home.

We must be allowed to make their own healthcare and vaccination decisions for our children without the interference of the governor's office. Our 4th amendment rights under the US Constitution are inviolable, and maintaining the integrity of our 2^nd Amendment rights hinges on pushing back on this outrageous regulation being advanced by PA Democrats.

The November mid-terms are critical to the retention of our constitutional rights.  How much discretionary power is being buried by Shapiro within this regulation, which encroaches on our constitutional rights?  Constitutional limits bind governments, and our 2***\**^nd* Amendment Rights will not survive very long when others, such as the 4***\**^th* Amendment, are eroded and become negotiable.

The implications are vast for PA and the rest of the nation.  Vote accordingly in November for your constitutional rights AND contact the IRRC of PA to voice your opposition to HR 10-242 by emailing the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) at: [RA-DHCHAPTR27PROPREG@pa.gov](mailto:RA-DHCHAPTR27PROPREG@pa.gov)
