HR 285 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing a registry for those who abuse individuals considered to be vulnerable populations.

HR 285 is a resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to study whether creating a registry for individuals who abuse vulnerable populations (such as seniors, people with disabilities, or those in care facilities) would be practical. The study would examine how such a registry might function, including potential benefits and implementation challenges. This resolution does not establish a registry but would inform future legislative decisions about one. It directly affects vulnerable populations by potentially leading to new safeguards if the study recommends action.
