Bill > HB934

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to prohibit law enforcement officers from using deception during custodial interrogations of individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism. The bill creates a presumption that any confession obtained through such deception is inadmissible as evidence, though this presumption can be overcome if the Commonwealth can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the confession was voluntarily given. The bill also defines key terms, including "custodial interrogation," "deception," and "individual with an intellectual disability or autism."
