An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in obstructing governmental operations, further providing for the offense of resisting arrest or other law enforcement.

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's laws on obstructing governmental operations by updating the definition of resisting arrest. It classifies the act as a second-degree misdemeanor when someone intentionally creates a risk of bodily injury to a public servant or uses force to overcome resistance during a lawful arrest or duty. The legislation directly affects individuals who confront law enforcement officers and aims to clarify the specific actions that constitute this offense. The changes will become effective 60 days after the bill is signed into law.
