He represents the 126th district. In addition to serving as a legislator, Rozzi is also a business owner. Rozzi was sexually abused and raped by a priest in the Roman Catholic Church as a child. Making it easier for victims to bring charges and file lawsuits against the accused has been one of his political objectives. On November 26, 2019, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf choose Muhlenberg High School, which is located in Rozzi's home district as the location to sign new legislation which significant overhauls the child sex abuse statute in Pennsylvania. The new law: abolishes Pennsylvania's criminal statute of limitations on childhood sexual abuse and extends the timeline victims have to file civil action against their abusers; clarifies penalties for failure to report child abuse; makes conversations with law enforcement agents exempt from non-disclosure agreements; and creates a fund for victims of sexual abuse to pay for abuse-related therapy. Rozzi was among those who attended the signing ceremony. He also gave a speech to students in attendance where he noted the law's significance. Rozzi currently sits on the Children & Youth, Finance, Gaming Oversight, and Liquor Control committees.
