An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in protection from abuse, further providing for commencement of proceedings.

This bill modifies Pennsylvania laws regarding protection from abuse orders to clarify which law enforcement agencies are responsible for serving these legal documents to defendants. Instead of limiting service to specific police departments, the legislation allows any appropriate law enforcement agency to perform this task, ensuring broader access to protective measures. The changes also update references to state agencies, aligning them with the Department of Human Services. These adjustments aim to streamline the process for victims seeking immediate legal protection without restricting which officials can deliver the orders.
