Governor Tom Wolf joined Senator Jake Corman (R-Centre), advocates and the Piazza family on Friday afternoon to sign Senate Bill 1090 into law.

The bill, also known as Piazza’s law, was named for Timothy Piazza, a Penn State student who died after a night of heavy drinking.

The Pennsylvania Senate sent legislation to tighten laws around hazing and phase out the Keystone exams as graduation requirements to Gov. Tom Wolf’s desk Monday, both of which he announced his intent to sign.

It was a busy week in Harrisburg with both chambers in session, and so while a flurry of activity is expected, here are three bills that deserve a little extra attention:

A bill in honor of Penn State University student Timothy Piazza, who died last year during a fraternity event that has raised allegations of hazing, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday.

The bill, SB 1090, was introduced by Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman (R-Centre) last Friday. It would add more categories of hazing to state law, including a felony charge in cases of serious bodily harm or death.

With the parents of Timothy Piazza flanking him on the steps of the Centre County courthouse, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman (R-Centre) today introduced legislation bearing the deceased Penn State student’s name to increase the punishments for hazing.

Pointing to his own time as a Greek, Corman — whose district includes State College — said the bill was an attempt to prevent any deaths from initiation rites in the state’s fraternities, sororities or other organizations by adding stiff consequences.
