HB 1150 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions, establishing the Domestic Violence Prevention and Services Program and the Domestic Violence Prevention and Services Fund; imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency; and making an interfund transfer.

Alina's Law establishes a new Domestic Violence Prevention and Services Program administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to provide grants to county district attorneys' offices. These funds are intended to support the creation and distribution of educational materials, crisis hotlines, safe shelters, and other resources for victims of domestic violence. The bill also introduces a specific type of electronic monitoring device that allows authorities to track a defendant's location via GPS while enforcing protection orders, ensuring the device cannot be removed without alerting police. Additionally, the legislation creates a dedicated fund to finance these initiatives and requires the commission to develop application processes and report on the program's activities.
