SB 1317 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in sentencing, further providing for sexual offenses and tier system.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's sentencing guidelines by adding a specific crime to the list of Tier II sexual offenses. It directly affects sports officials, volunteers, and employees of nonprofit associations who commit sexual assault under the state's penal code. By including this act in the tier system, the legislation ensures that convictions for these offenses carry the same sentencing weight as other crimes currently classified at that level. The change becomes effective immediately upon passage.
