The Centre County Board of Commissioners was joined by Representative Scott Conklin to introduce a Resolution in support of legislation prohibiting those with domestic violence convictions from holding state office.
In order to protect the integrity of Pennsylvania’s legislature and the rights of our citizens, the Board of Commissioners call upon the General Assembly to enact this legislation to guarantee that any person convicted of domestic violence shall be ineligible to serve in the General Assembly, or of holding any office of trust or profit in this Commonwealth.
