Sentence Enhancement - Crime in Violation of Protection Order / Consent Decree
December 4, 2018 04:04 PM to All Senate Members
Circulated By
Senator Lisa Boscola
D Senate District 18
Memo
In the near future, I plan to reintroduce a bill that amends Title 42 to allow the Commission on Sentencing to provide a sentence enhancement when a crime is committed and the defendant was in violation of a protection order or consent decree.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this is an effort to combat domestic violence in the Commonwealth. This bill was developed with input from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Domestic violence continues to plague our communities. Last year, the 60 community centers providing services throughout the Commonwealth assisted more than 89,000 victims of domestic violence.
This bill requires the Commission on Sentencing to provide a sentence enhancement when an individual, who at the time the crime was committed, was in violation of a protection order or consent agreement, which included violence or sexual violence, issued by a court.
I invite you to join me as a co-sponsor. Previous sponsors to SB 312 included: Costa, Hughes, Fontana, Farnese, Schwank, Browne, Brewster, Haywood, Sabatina and Tartaglione.
