Senator Lisa Baker, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that the committee has approved three bills focused on public safety and updating Pennsylvania’s criminal laws.
“These bills reflect a thoughtful approach to balancing innovation and public safety,” Baker stated. “They represent another step forward in ensuring our justice system keeps pace with the times.”
The legislation aims to address new challenges posed by technological advancements. “As technology advances, so do the methods employed by those seeking to exploit it for criminal purposes,” Baker explained. “By updating our laws to include offenses like digital forgery and pirating key fobs, we are taking proactive steps to protect Pennsylvanians from emerging threats.”
The bills will now proceed to the full Senate for further consideration.
