HB 1788: Incapacitated persons; abuse and neglect, financial exploitation, penalty.

Provides that any responsible person who abuses or neglects an incapacitated adult and such abuse or neglect results in any bodily injury, other than serious bodily injury, to the incapacitated adult is guilty of a Class 6 felony, which is in addition to the current Class 4 felony if such abuse or neglect results in serious bodily injury. The bill also expands the class of victims of the crime of financial exploitation of incapacitated persons to include persons incapacitated due to physical illness or disability, advanced age, or other causes. The current law applies only to victims who suffer from mental incapacity.

HB 1473: Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act; penalty.

Creates the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (the Act). The Act prohibits an abortion after 20 weeks' gestation unless, in reasonable medical judgment, the mother has a condition that so complicates her medical condition as to necessitate the abortion to avert her death or to avert serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function. When an abortion is not prohibited post-20 weeks' gestation, and if the woman elects to have an abortion, the physician is required to terminate the pregnancy in a manner that would provide the unborn child the best opportunity to survive. The bill punishes performance of an abortion in violation of the Act as a Class 4 felony. The bill also provides for civil remedies against a physician who performs an abortion in violation of the Act.

HB 2416: Conservators of the peace, special; authority, mandatory liability insurance.

Replaces the powers that may be provided in the power of appointment for a special conservator of the peace (SCOP) which may include all powers, functions, responsibilities, and authority of any other conservator of the peace, with only the duties for which the SCOP is qualified as specified on his application. The bill requires the order of appointment to provide that such duties shall be exercised only in the geographical limitations specified by the court. The bill requires that the order delineate a limit beyond which the SCOP may not effectuate an arrest following a close pursuit. The bill prohibits all SCOPs from using the word "police" and all SCOPs other than those employed by a state agency from using the seal of the Commonwealth on his equipment in the performance of his duties. The bill requires that the mandatory liability insurance for SCOPs be in an amount of not less than $1 million.
