Episode 7: A Major Milestone
Marsy’s Law for Pennsylvania has achieved a major milestone - passage of the state House of Representatives and state Senate - all in about five months. This checks off the first hurdle for a change to the constitution. In 2019, the process starts over again, with a view to putting the question to voters late next year.
Marsy’s Law not only passed the House and Senate - it did so unanimously in both chambers. You’d have to go back several decades to find another constitutional amendment that achieved the same feat in Pennsylvania.
We talk with State Senator Guy Reschenthaler, State Representative Sheryl Delozier, and marsy's law for Pennsylvania campaign director Jennifer Riley about the success and what the next steps are for the Marsy's Law campaign.
Then we talk with Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis about the role of DAs accross the commonwealth in supporting Marsy's Law and victims' rights.
Show Notes:
If you or someone you know is the victim of sexual assault or other crime please contact Pennsylvania's Office of Victim Advocate at 800-563-6399 or ova.pa.gov.
Special Guests: Jennifer Riley, PA Senator Guy Reschenthaler, State Representative Sheryl Delozier, and Stefanie Salavantis.
