The Pennsylvania House recently approved a measure to increase the penalties for luring a young child into a motor vehicle or structure, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)
House Bill 1594, which he co-sponsored, would make the crime of luring a child a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000. Currently, the offense is graded as a first-degree misdemeanor with a fine of $10,000.
House Bill 1594 now heads to the Senate for consideration.
