AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to create a new offense of "harassment of sports official." The bill defines a "sports official" as anyone who enforces the rules of a sporting event, such as an umpire or referee, as well as those who supervise the participants, such as a coach. Under the new law, anyone who harasses a sports official as a result of the official's duties or status as a sports official would be guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree. The bill is intended to provide legal protections for sports officials who may be subject to harassment while carrying out their roles.
