The proposed legislation, known as the Bernard N. Gribbin Law, amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by introducing a new section that addresses the offense of interference with the operation or movement of public transit vehicles. The bill defines various actions that constitute this offense, including causing serious bodily injury or death to an operator, interfering with an operator's duties, and instilling fear of imminent harm through physical menace. The law specifies that individuals found guilty of these offenses will face severe penalties, with first-degree felonies for the most serious violations and third-degree felonies for lesser offenses.

Additionally, the bill provides definitions for key terms such as "operator," which refers to any personnel operating the public transit vehicle, and "public transit vehicle," which encompasses a range of transportation modes including buses, trains, and subways. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, aiming to enhance the safety and protection of public transit operators and the passengers they serve.
