Introduced by: Jennifer B. Boysko | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Unlawful hazing; penalty. Provides immunity for arrest and prosecution for hazing and involuntary manslaughter if a person in good faith seeks or obtains emergency medical attention for a person who has received a bodily injury by hazing or renders emergency care or assistance, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to a person who has received a bodily injury by hazing while another person seeks or obtains emergency medical attention for such person. The bill also clarifies that a prosecution of a hazing violation shall not preclude prosecution under any other statute. The bill also provides that the attorney for the Commonwealth may file a petition for mandamus or injunction against the president or other presiding official of any school or institution of higher education receiving appropriations from the state treasury seeking to enforce the required disciplinary and notifications provisions associated with acts of hazing.
