Pennsylvania SB1430 amends the definition of obstructing administration of law or governmental functions to include exceptions for health care.

Pennsylvania SB1430 modifies Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to specify that obstructing the administration of law or other governmental functions is a second-degree misdemeanor. It allows health care facilities to temporarily or permanently obstruct law enforcement entry unless the officer has probable cause and a judicial warrant. This change aims to balance the rights of health care facilities with the need for law enforcement to perform their duties.
