Pennsylvania HB104 amends protection from abuse laws to include electronic monitoring of defendants.
Pennsylvania HB104 amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance protection from abuse orders by including electronic monitoring of defendants. The bill defines an "electronic monitoring device" as a tool that uses GPS to track a person's location within a 100-mile radius, sending data to the Pennsylvania State Police and local police departments. Courts may order defendants to wear these devices if they pose a risk of violating the protection order or committing a crime against the victim.
