A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for security from searches and seizures.

HB 445 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would explicitly add "land" to the list of protected items under Pennsylvania's right to security from unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment updates Article I, Section 8 of the state constitution to state that "the people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers, land and possessions" from such searches. This change directly affects all Pennsylvania residents by clarifying that land ownership (e.g., property, parcels) is explicitly protected under this constitutional right, mirroring existing protections for other property types. The bill also outlines the procedural steps required for constitutional amendments, including legislative passage and voter approval at the next applicable election. As a proposed amendment, it does not take effect until ratified by voters.
