Hello Fellow Listers: A fellow researcher found the following article in a Pennsylvania paper called "The Paxton Herald" dated December 10, 2003 on Page 13 of Section 2. Thought it may be of interest to you... The article reads..... Bill Protecting Historic Burial Places Headed to Governor A Bill increasing the criminal penalty for the destruction or desecration of historic grave markers or burial places is headed to the Governor for his signature. House Bill 46, sponsored by Rep. Jerry Nailor, would increase the punishment for this offense from a second-degree misdemeanor to a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and up to five years in jail. A historic burial place is defined as a tract of land that has existed as a burial ground for more than 100 years, and/or is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as determined by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
