Bill Summary

Amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in miscellaneous provisions relating to emergency management services, providing for exemption of records from access.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to exempt records of volunteer emergency medical services (EMS), fire, and rescue companies from public access under the Right-to-Know Law, which is the state's law governing public access to government records. However, this exemption does not apply to records directly related to funding or resources provided by a local municipality, as specified in various sections of Pennsylvania's codes concerning townships, municipalities, and emergency services. The bill defines "volunteer EMS company," "volunteer fire company," and "volunteer rescue company" by referencing existing definitions in section 7802 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.
