Bill > SB255

This bill amends Pennsylvania's sexual offenses and tier system classification by adding a specific type of sexual assault to Tier II sexual offenses. Specifically, the bill introduces 18 Pa.C.S. § 3124.3, which relates to sexual assault committed by a sports official, volunteer, or employee of a nonprofit association, as a Tier II sexual offense. In the context of Pennsylvania's sexual offender registration system, Tier II offenses are considered intermediate-level sexual crimes that require registration for 25 years after conviction, and involve less severe offenses compared to Tier III offenses but more serious than Tier I offenses. The bill aims to ensure that sexual assaults committed by individuals in positions of trust within sports or nonprofit organizations are appropriately classified and subject to the corresponding registration requirements. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
