HB256 Penalty enhancement for assault against corrections staff House Floor: HB 256 PN 4054, CONCUR 07/07/2020 -1 Yea HB 256 would enhance the grading of simple assault from a misdemeanor to a felony and increases an aggravated assault against corrections staff from a second-degree to first-degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
HB440 Record expungement, sealing, and Clean Slate expansion House Floor: HB 440 PN 4546, CONCUR 10/21/2020 1 Yea For people who have been pardoned, HB 440 would require that their criminal charges be automatically sealed. For those who have been fully acquitted, those charges would be automatically expunged from their criminal record. The bill would also expand PA’s Clean Slate law by removing the obligation to pay outstanding court fines and costs (except restitution) before eligible cases can be sealed.
HB916 DUI penalty enhancements and electronic monitoring (Deana's Law) House Floor: HB 916 PN 4618, CONCUR 11/20/2020 -1 Nay HB 916 would mandate electronic surveillance of people before they have been convicted of a crime, would punish people who are too poor to pay monitoring costs, would impose mandatory consecutive sentences, and would further expand excessive penalties for DUI-related offenses.
HB1538 Delay of parole hearings House Floor: HB 1538 PN 3666, CONCUR 11/18/2020 -1 Nay Under current law, people are entitled to parole consideration once a year, except in very limited cases. HB 1538 would add 13 new offenses to this statute, which would require people convicted of those offenses to wait three years (instead of one year) to reapply for parole if parole was previously denied.
HB1827 Penalty enhancements for aiding or causing suicide (Shawn's Law) House Floor: HB 1827 PN 3696, 2019 A5454, D. MILLER 05/19/2020 1 Yea Amendment to require that the defendant knew or should have known that the person who died by suicide was under 18 years of age or had an intellectual disability.
HB1827 Penalty enhancements for aiding or causing suicide (Shawn's Law) House Floor: HB 1827 PN 3807, FP 05/20/2020 -1 Yea HB 1827 would enhance the penalty for causing or aiding suicide when the person who died by suicide is under 18 years old or has an intellectual disability from a second-degree to first-degree felony, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Causing or aiding suicide is already heavily penalized under current law and there is nothing in the bill that requires a person to know that the person is under 18 years old or has an intellectual disability.
HB1841 Police disciplinary database House Floor: HB 1841 PN 4011, FP 06/24/2020 1 Yea HB 1841 would mandate background reporting and investigations for prospective law enforcement applicants and requires that those records are maintained in an electronic database. The database is accessible to law enforcement agencies to screen potential officers before hiring, which may help reduce the number of problematic and abusive police officers moving easily from one jurisdiction to another.
HB1910 Police training and PTSD screening House Floor: HB 1910 PN 4012, FP 06/24/2020 1 Yea HB 1910 would provide training to officers on interacting with individuals of diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds; implicit bias training; recognizing and reporting child abuse; and annual training on the use of appropriate force. In addition, the bill would require police officers to be tested for post-traumatic stress disorder every two years and within 30 days of any lethal use-of-force incident.
HB2056 Aggravated assault against people with disabilities (Cody's Law) House Floor: HB 2056 PN 2969, 2019 A5430, D. MILLER 05/19/2020 1 Yea Amendment to require that the defendant knew or should have known that the person had a physical disability, an intellectual disability or an autism spectrum disorder.
HB2056 Aggravated assault against people with disabilities (Cody's Law) House Floor: HB 2056 PN 3800, FP 05/20/2020 -1 Nay HB 2056 would eliminate the requirement to cause or attempt to cause “serious bodily injury” and allow prosecutors to charge an assault as aggravated whenever a simple assault is committed against a person with a physical or intellectual disability. In other words, it treats a simple assault as aggravated, increasing the penalties from up to 2 years in prison for a second-degree misdemeanor to up to 10 years for a second-degree felony.
HB2342 Expansion of "tender years" hearsay exception House Floor: HB 2342 PN 3447, FP 06/23/2020 -1 Nay Pennsylvania's Tender Years Hearsay Act is a hearsay exception that allows out-of-court statements made by individuals 12 years of age or younger to be entered into evidence under specific conditions. HB 2342 would uniformly expand the Tender Years Hearsay Act to allow the introduction of hearsay statements made by people 16 years of age or younger, further eroding the due process right to confront one's accuser.
HB2463 Right to Know access during disaster declarations House Floor: HB 2463 PN 3713, FP 05/05/2020 1 Yea HB 2463 would ensure that the Right to Know Law remains in effect during disaster declarations. The bill would require commonwealth agencies to continue to follow procedures established by the Office of Open Records, even if they are otherwise closed due to the emergency declaration.
HB2530 Religious restrictions during disaster declarations House Floor: HB 2530 PN 3782, FP 09/15/2020 -1 Nay HB 2530 would amend Pennsylvania’s Religious Freedom Protection Act to prevent any order under a disaster declaration from restricting religious assembly. While the ACLU-PA would not normally oppose a protection of religious exercise, this bill attempts to establish religious assembly as an absolute right, which would likely violate both the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions.
HB2626 Election administration House Floor: HB 2626 PN 4335, FP 09/02/2020 -1 Nay HB 2626 would include some beneficial updates to the recent election reforms under Act 77 of 2019. But it would also implement last minute changes before the 2020 general election, including eliminating ballot drop boxes, allowing out-of-county PA electors to serve as poll watchers, and moving the deadline to request an absentee or mail ballot a week earlier, creating needless confusion and potential disenfranchisement of voters.
HR1100 Legislative audit of 2020 general election House Floor: HR 1100 PN 4611 11/19/2020 -1 Nay HR 1100 would direct the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to coordinate an audit of ballots canvassed in the 2020 general election. While the ACLU-PA strongly supports measures that ensure greater transparency and accuracy in election tallies, this rushed resolution would not only duplicate elements of existing audits, but its parameters appear to be constructed to "prove" a pre-determined outcome.
SB351 Expansion of protected employment under aggravated assault statute House Floor: SB 351 PN 341, FP 06/23/2020 -1 Yea SB 351 would add ''health practitioner or technician'' to the list of 38 officers or employees to Pennsylvania's aggravated assault statute, which grades a simple assault as aggravated. Ceaselessly expanding this list would all but render the offense of simple assault meaningless. It metes out greater punishment based not on the intent or severity of the assault, but rather on the employment status of the victim.
SB637 Occupational license reform House Floor: SB 637 PN 1815, FP 06/24/2020 1 Yea SB 637 would ensure that individuals with a criminal record are not automatically excluded from earning an occupational license simply because of their criminal history.
SB773 DUI penalty enhancements and electronic monitoring (Deana's Law) House Floor: SB 773 PN 1771, 2019 A7729, CARROLL 10/20/2020 1 Yea Amendment to make recent reforms to driver's license suspensions retroactive.
SB773 DUI penalty enhancements and electronic monitoring (Deana's Law) House Floor: SB 773 PN 1771, 2019 A6317, WHEATLEY 10/20/2020 1 Yea Amendment to include provisions from HB 80, providing a Driver’s License Amnesty Program.
SB773 DUI penalty enhancements and electronic monitoring (Deana's Law) House Floor: SB 773 PN 1771, 2019 A6303, CARROLL 10/20/2020 1 Yea Amendment to exempt medical marijuana from the definition of controlled substance.
SB1110 Release of protected health information to first responders House Floor: SB 1110 PN 2107, FP 10/21/2020 1 Yea SB 1110 aims to assist public safety personnel by sharing the address of anyone who tests positive for a communicable disease that is the subject of a disaster declaration. Health departments would share addresses with a confirmed positive case to 911 centers. This means that dispatch centers are the only entities that receive this data and it is only shared with public safety personnel when they are responding to a call at that address.
