House Bill 1154, sponsored by state Rep. Ron Miller, R-York, will remove the special carve-out for those involved in a labor dispute. It passed the House last month.
Yesterday, a slightly amended version unanimously passed the Senate, 48-0. The amended bill now returns to the House for a concurrence vote, which could take place as early as today, Miller said yesterday. He expects it to pass.
Gov. Corbett is expected to sign the bill, his press office said.
