Bill Summary
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in assault, providing for the offense of harassment of sports official.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's criminal code to create a new offense of "harassment of sports official."

The offense is graded as a misdemeanor of the third degree. The bill also defines the term "sports official" to include a broad range of individuals associated with sporting events.
