Bill > HB1325

This bill amends Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically related to the offense of criminal trespass. It adds a new subsection (b.4) that allows the court to order an evaluation of a person convicted of an offense under subsection (b) to determine if the person has a gambling disorder and whether counseling or treatment is needed as part of the sentence or pre-adjudication disposition. The bill also defines key terms, such as "establishment licensee," "licensed facility," "licensed gaming entity," "self-exclusion list," and "video gaming area." The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
