Pennsylvania Voters To Decide Victims’ Rights Referendum in November

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania voters will decide whether to enumerate victims’ rights in the state constitution, a proposal likely to appear on the November ballot. The state Senate on Wednesday unanimously gave the final approval to put the state’s version of Marsy’s Law on the ballot as a constitutional amendment referendum. The proposed amendment would give victims the right to be notified about, attend and weigh in during plea hearings, sentencings and parole proceedings.
