The Healthy Birth of Incarcerated Women Act (Senate Bill 1074) also bans pregnant inmates from being shackled while being transported to a medical facility for delivery or any complications brought on by the pregnancy, and for a reasonable frame of time after childbirth. The Pennsylvania branch of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) called the legislation a triumph for women and children. The bill stipulates some exceptions including: if a prisoner is a threat to medical staff or the public, or if there are concerns the prisoner may flee custody. The bill now moves onto the House of Representatives. Sen. Daylin Leach said the bill takes care of an issue that should have been common practice years ago, according to reports. Leach introduced the bill.
