Domestic Violence

Gov. Tom Wolf on Nov. 14 thanked advocates for their ongoing support of victims of domestic violence during a ceremonial bill signing of Act 79 of 2018, the first bill to truly take guns away from the dangerous abusers who use them to kill, terrorize and control. Because of the urgency of enacting the legislation, Wolf officially signed the bill into law immediately after receiving it Oct. 12.
