An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in assault, providing for the offense of drug delivery resulting in serious bodily injury; and, in sentencing, providing for sentencing for drug delivery resulting in serious bodily injury.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to create a new offense of "drug delivery resulting in serious bodily injury." It makes it a second-degree felony for a person to intentionally administer, dispense, deliver, give, prescribe, sell or distribute any controlled substance or counterfeit controlled substance, if another person suffers serious bodily injury as a result of using the substance. The bill also requires the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing to provide a sentence enhancement within its guidelines for this new offense, and to consider whether the controlled substance was provided in exchange for any remuneration or consideration when determining the gravity of the offense.
