SB9 Banning trans girls from school sports Senate Floor: SB 9 PN 177, Final Passage 05/06/2025 -1 Yea SB 9 would ban transgender girls and women from participating on athletic teams or in sports from K-college. Trans youth have the right to participate in sports consistent with who they are and denying them that right is blatantly unconstitutional and discriminatory.
SB92 Mandatory minimum sentences for drug delivery (Tyler's Law) Senate Floor: SB 92 PN 472, Final Passage 04/01/2025 -1 Yea SB 92 would impose a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a fine of $15,000 (or more) for any person convicted of drug delivery resulting in death if the person had two or more prior convictions, or any person who “received anything of value" in exchange for any controlled or counterfeit controlled substance. Not only would SB 92 result in the imprisonment of people suffering from substance use disorder, it would impose the failed and ineffective blunt instrument of mandatory minimums.
SB96 Increased penalties for threats against schools Senate Appropriations: Re-Reported as Committed 04/01/2025 -1 Yea SB 96 would make *any threat* against a school or educational facility a third-degree felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison and $15,000 in fines. But current law already punishes threats against a school as a third-degree felony if it resulted in people being "diverted from their normal operations." As such, SB 96 is both needlessly broad and likely redundant.
SB210 Duplicating offenses against transit workers (Bernard Gribbin’s Law) Senate Floor: SB 210 PN 150, Final Passage 02/05/2025 -1 Yea SB 210 would create a new criminal offense, with five suboffenses, to punish harm or attempted harm to public transit operators. Each of these offenses are already criminalized under current law and as such, are duplicative and unnecessary.
SB306 Constitutional amendment tracking Senate State Government: Reported as Committed 05/06/2025 1 Yea SB 306 would establish a useful, transparent mechanism to publicly monitor the status of the procedural steps required for a proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution during the critical time after the General Assembly passes the amendment in a second consecutive session and before it appears on the ballot for voters to approve or reject.
SB347 Criminalizing overdose prevention sites Senate Floor: SB 347 PN 284, Final Passage 04/01/2025 -1 Yea SB 347 would charge any overdose prevention center with a felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines for an individual or up to $2,000,000 in fines for a clinic. These penalties EXCEED the statutory maximum penalties for a first-degree felony. In other words, the penalty for providing a safe space that can save people from deadly overdoses is *more severe than the punishment for murder.*
SB471 Requiring local prosecutors to assist ICE in federal immigration enforcement Senate Floor: SB 471 PN 425, Final Passage 03/31/2025 -1 Yea SB 471 would require state and county prosecutors to notify ICE if they become aware that a criminal defendant is not a citizen or is otherwise unlawfully in the U.S. ICE already has more than enough tools it needs to target people for immigration enforcement. Furthermore, entangling these two distinct systems by involving ICE during on-going criminal cases could have harmful ripple effects throughout the criminal legal system.
SB490 Denying non-monetary bail for certain charges Senate Floor: SB 490 PN 444, Final Passage 03/31/2025 -1 Yea SB 490 would unconstitutionally prohibit judges from assigning non-monetary bail for defendants based only on their charges. SB 490 would violate (1) the constitutional requirements for bail consideration, and (2) the constitutional separation of powers, which gives the courts power to decide criminal legal procedures. In addition, if enacted, SB 490 would have little effect on current bail practices. It would, however, exacerbate economic and racial disparities in the criminal legal system.
SB686 New felony for destruction of public records Senate Floor: SB 686 PN 755, Final Passage 06/04/2025 -1 Yea SB 686 would create a new, duplicative offense to punish the destruction of requested public records as a third-degree felony. Tampering with public records or information (18 § 4911) already covers the behavior described in SB 686. As such, SB 686 is unnecessary and clearly duplicative. In addition, the third-degree felony grading, even for a first offense, is excessively punitive.
