An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in sentencing, providing for animal abuse list.

HB 2143 requires the Pennsylvania State Police to maintain a public online list of individuals convicted of animal abuse offenses against companion animals (dogs or cats). The list includes a photo from booking, full name, and other necessary identifying information (but excludes Social Security numbers or driver's license details) for two years after a first conviction or five years after a repeat conviction. Courts must send conviction details to the State Police within 60 days, and the list is automatically updated if a conviction is expunged. This policy directly affects people convicted under Pennsylvania’s cruelty to animals law (18 Pa.C.S. §55), making their records publicly accessible for a defined period.
