AN ACT
Amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated
Statutes, penalizing conduct of corrupt organizations.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Title 4 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
is amended by adding a section to read:
§ 1519.1. Corrupt organizations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an act which is
indictable under this part, or a conspiracy to commit any such
act, shall be considered "racketeering activity" for purposes of
18 Pa.C.S. § 911 (relating to corrupt organizations) and shall
be subject to all of the provisions of 18 Pa.C.S. § 911. Any act
which otherwise would be considered racketeering activity under
18 Pa.C.S. § 911 by reason of the application of this section
shall not be excluded from its application solely because the
operative acts took place outside the jurisdiction of this
Commonwealth if the acts were in violation of the law of the
jurisdiction in which they occurred.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
