The House Republicans named committee chairs this week, making changes to Environmental Resources and Energy and the Game and Fisheries committees, but not Agriculture.

Rep. Scott Hutchinson (R-Venango) was named Republican chair of the Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. He has served on the Committee before and as chair of the Joint Air and Water Pollution Control and Conservation Committee.

Rep. Sam Rohrer (R-Berks) was named Republican chair of the Game and Fisheries Committee. He served on the Committee last session.

Rep. Art Hershey (R-Chester) was again named Republican chair of the Agriculture Committee.

House Democrats named their committee chairs two weeks ago.

The individual members of the committees have yet to be named in the House.
