HB1880

Pennsylvania HB1880 amends laws on impersonating public servants and identity concealment by federal immigration officials.

Pennsylvania HB1880 amends the offense of impersonating a public servant, making it a first-degree misdemeanor if someone falsely claims to hold a public service position to induce another to act in reliance on that pretense. The bill also adds a provision for identity concealment by federal immigration officials, prohibiting them from concealing their face while performing duties, with exemptions for undercover assignments and natural disaster emergencies. Violators face a civil penalty of $5,000 per violation. The act will take effect in 60 days.
