Bill Summary
An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions, further providing for when prosecution barred by former prosecution for different offense.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 110 of Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which governs when a prosecution is barred by a former prosecution for a different offense. The key changes are: (1) adding a "general rule" clause to the existing law, (2) creating an exception for situations where the former prosecution was for a summary offense, and (3) making minor wording changes for clarity. The overall purpose is to further define the circumstances under which a new prosecution is barred due to a previous prosecution for a different but related offense.
