Boyle, 41, has yet to turn himself in after an arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for allegedly violating a protection from abuse order.Democrats have proposed a resolution to establish a new group that would determine if state reps are unable to perform their duties.The proposed group would decide if it's necessary to sanction or expel a rep in question.Boyle, a Democrat, has served in the State House since 2011 and represents part of Northeast Philadelphia.
Boyle claims his brother made a full recovery, and exhibited "no symptoms" for the next two years, but those mental health struggles have since returned.
