HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Dealing drugs near Pennsylvania recovery houses may soon come with a stricter sentence.
The State Senate passed S.B. 635 on Wednesday, which would establish a sentencing enhancement for certain drug-related offenses committed within 1,000 feet of a drug and alcohol recovery house.
“These recovery houses are meant to offer a lifeline to Pennsylvanians fighting to overcome addiction,” said Sen. Wayne Langerholc (R-Cambria), who sponsored the bill. “Drug dealers who deliberately target individuals on the path to recovery are exploiting those working toward recovery and endangering public safety.”
The bill expands on the General Assembly’s unanimous passage of Act 59 of 2017, which established standards for recovery houses.
Sen. Langerholc’s bill passed the Senate in a bipartisan 43-7 vote. It now heads to the House for consideration.
