AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand the definitions of eligible victims who can apply for the address confidentiality program. The bill adds definitions for "victim of child abduction," "victim of kidnapping," and "victim of human trafficking" to the existing law. It also adds provisions allowing these new categories of victims to apply for the program by filing an affidavit describing the perpetrator's conduct and their fear of future violence. The bill also authorizes the Office of Victim Advocate to promulgate regulations to implement these changes to the definitions and application process.
