Bill Summary

Amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in burglary and other criminal intrusion, further providing for burglary; in robbery, further providing for robbery; and, in juvenile matters, further providing for definitions, for inspection of court files and records, for conduct of hearings and for transfer to criminal proceedings.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to include firearms as a specific item that, if the intent is to steal one during a burglary or robbery, elevates the crime to a felony of the first degree, the highest level of felony. It also makes changes to how certain serious offenses, including these elevated burglary and robbery charges, are defined within the juvenile justice system, impacting what constitutes a "delinquent act" and potentially affecting whether a juvenile can be transferred to adult criminal court. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that court records related to a child adjudicated delinquent for these first-degree felony robberies or burglaries, or for certain other serious offenses, may become public. These changes are intended to further define and address serious criminal intrusions and their implications within both adult and juvenile legal proceedings.
