Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf praised the state legislature for passing the anti-hazing legislation. He is “proud” to sign it.
Last night, the legislature unanimously approved Senate Bill 1090 also known as the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-hazing Law. State Senator Jake Corman introduced the legislation to end hazing.
Corman named the bill after Tim Piazza, a student of Pennsylvania State University who suffered deadly falls after consuming too much alcohol during a fraternity hazing in February 2017.
In a video posted Twitter, Wolf said, “This bill is on my desk in no small part. Thanks to the leadership of Sen. Jake Corman and a bipartisan group of senators and members of the state House of Representatives.”
In addition, he said, “It’s an effort to make sure that our students in institutions of higher education are safe from hazing. This is going to help our students be safe. It’s going to help our law enforcement officials who are responsible for the safety of our students. It’s just a really a good bill and I’m proud to sign it.”
