Today, Governor Tom Wolf signed Senate Bill 1090, the Timothy J. Piazza Antihazing Law.
The law strengthens penalties for hazing and ensures that schools have safeguards to protect students.
The governor was joined by Jim and Evelyn Piazza, Timothy’s parents, bill sponsor Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, Penn State President Eric J. Barron and Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education Chancellor Dan Greenstein.
The Piazzas hope that this bill is used as a model for similar legislation in all 50 states.
