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 attempts to cause serious bodily injury or death to an operator, causing bodily injury to an operator, and intentionally interfering with an operator's duties. The law categorizes these offenses into different degrees of felonies and misdemeanors based on the severity of the actions, with the most serious violations classified as felonies of the first degree.

Specifically, the bill outlines that a person who causes serious bodily injury or death to an operator while they are performing their duties commits a felony of the first degree. Other violations, such as causing bodily injury or interfering with an operator, are classified as felonies of the third degree or misdemeanors of the second degree, respectively. Additionally, the bill provides definitions for key terms, including "operator" and "public transit vehicle," to clarify the scope of the law. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
