Pick it from the list if you see it. This fills in the grade and the Offense Gravity Score from the official offense list. If it is not listed, choose the grade below instead.
Shown on the charging papers, for example “F2” (felony of the second degree) or “M1” (misdemeanor of the first degree).
Picking an offense or a grade fills this in. If you only know the grade, the official “omnibus” score for that grade is used, which may differ from the score for the specific offense.
This depends on past convictions. Most people won’t know it — that’s normal.
Count past adult convictions (leave out very old ones — see the note below). Enter how many fall in each group:
Old convictions drop off: misdemeanors after 10 years; other felonies and serious crimes after 15 crime-free years since release; crimes of violence after 25 crime-free years since release (204 Pa. Code § 303a.4(c)). Juvenile records count only in limited cases.
P = months of probation · RC = restrictive conditions (probation with strict conditions, such as house arrest, instead of jail) · RS = restorative sanctions (such as restitution, fines or community service, without probation or jail) · numbers in brackets = recommended community service hours · SL = statutory limit (half the legal maximum).
