MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 25, 2013 03:48 PM
From: Representative James R. Roebuck, Jr.
To: All House members
Subject: Cosponsorship Request – Legislation for Penalties for Trafficking Drugs to Minors
 
In the near future, I will be reintroducing legislation formerly House Bill 228 to amend the Crimes Code (Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes) by further providing for penalties for trafficking drugs to minors.

Specifically, Section 6314 (relating to sentencing and penalties for trafficking drugs to minors) makes a technical change as to the age of the offender; replacing the language "over 18 years of age" with "18 years of age or older." This legislation also mandates an additional two-year jail sentence (to the mandatory one-year jail sentence already in existence for this section) for offenders who, under this section, commit an offense within 1,000 feet of a playground or
community recreational center, as well as a school.

If you have questions, please contact my office at 783-1000 or email aedwards@pahouse.net. Thank you in advance for your support.

Introduced as HB1167
