Council Rock North Students Join Marcell for Ceremonial Bill Signing

November 13, 2026

HARRISBURG - Four sophomores from Council Rock High School North joined Rep. Kristin Marcell (R-Bucks) at the Capitol for the ceremonial signing of House Bill 2474, now Act 87 of 2026. 

“Students Zoe Palsky, Layla McGee, Bianca Moore and Ava Laughran helped bring attention to gaps in Pennsylvania’s reporting laws involving suspected child sexual abuse material,” Marcell said. “I am incredibly grateful for their courage, persistence and willingness to speak up about an issue that affects young people directly.”

Rep. Nikki Rivera (D-Lancaster), who sponsored the bill with Marcell, also participated in the ceremonial signing. It was a special moment to have these students there as the legislation they helped support was recognized as law.

“I am very proud of what they did. Their advocacy helped strengthen protections for children across Pennsylvania, and I was glad they could be part of the day,” Marcell said.
