AI Summary
This bill establishes the Safe Exchange Zone Program within the Department of Community and Economic Development in Pennsylvania. The program provides grant funding for municipalities to create designated safe exchange zones, which are public areas located near police stations, sheriff's offices, state police barracks, or other approved public spaces that have video surveillance and clear signage. The participating law enforcement entity is responsible for monitoring the safe exchange zone and assisting participants if needed. The bill limits the liability of municipalities, law enforcement, the state department, and counties for the conduct of participants in these safe exchange zones.
