Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in burglary and other criminal intrusion, further providing for the offense of criminal trespass; and, in offenses against the family, further providing for the offense of endangering welfare of children.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further define the offense of criminal trespass and the offense of endangering the welfare of children. Specifically, it allows courts to evaluate individuals convicted of criminal trespass at licensed gaming facilities for gambling disorder and determine if counseling or treatment is needed. It also establishes that leaving a child unattended at a licensed gaming facility is a third-degree felony, requires reporting such incidents to child welfare services, and mandates gaming entities to provide notice and training on the issue.
