Bill Summary
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, IN ASSAULT, FURTHER PROVIDING FOR <-- DEFINITIONS; AND, in sexual offenses, further providing for the offense of institutional sexual assault.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further define "caretaker" and "private care residence" in the context of neglect of care-dependent persons. It also adds a new subsection to the institutional sexual assault law, which makes it a felony for a caretaker to engage in sexual activity with a care-dependent person receiving care, services, or treatment in a facility, unless the victim and defendant are spouses, cohabitating partners, or current sexual/intimate partners. The bill aims to expand protections for care-dependent individuals and address issues of institutional sexual assault.
