HARRISBURG – Legislation has been introduced by Rep. Martin Causer of Cameron, McKean, and Potter Counties which would better protect children against convicted child abusers. House Bill 2075 would impose a mandatory period of post-release supervision for any offender convicted of a crime involving a minor child, even if the offender has served the maximum term of imprisonment imposed by a court. Causer said, “It’s crazy to think someone convicted of such crimes would be permitted to just walk away without any further supervision or monitoring. This is a serious loophole in our state law that puts children and the community at risk. My bill would close this loophole.” The bill is pending referral to a PA House committee for consideration.
