An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in assault, further providing for the offenses of simple assault, of recklessly endangering another person, of terroristic threats, of harassment and of stalking; in kidnapping, further providing for the offenses of unlawful restraint, of false imprisonment and of criminal coercion; in sexual offenses, further providing for the offense of indecent assault; and, in riot, disorderly conduct and related offenses, further providing for the offense of disorderly conduct.

Added new provisions to Title 18 that automatically upgrade the grading of crimes like simple assault, reckless endangerment, and terroristic threats to higher degrees (first-degree misdemeanor or third-degree felony) if committed while violating a protective order.

Enhanced penalties for stalking and harassment by making them third-degree felonies if the offender has a prior violent conviction involving the same victim or family member, or if the act violates a protective order.

Increased the severity of unlawful restraint and false imprisonment to third-degree felonies when committed in violation of a protective order.

Modified the grading of indecent assault and disorderly conduct to be more severe (up to third-degree felonies) when the offense occurs during a violation of a protective order.

The bill's effective date was changed from 60 days after introduction to 60 days after enactment, aligning the implementation timeline with the final version of the act.
