The intent of this act is to restore procedures by which defendants who are charged with an offense under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802 may secure rehabilitative treatment and a clean record, while ensuring the public that repeat offenders will face appropriate consequences as set by the General Assembly if they commit subsequent offenses despite the rehabilitative opportunity. It is the intent of the General Assembly to address the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Commonwealth v. Shifflett, 335 A.3d 1158 (Pa. 2025).
