An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing the Safe Communities Grant Program and the Safe Communities Grant Program Fund; and imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
HB 1887 creates a new Safe Communities Grant Program and a dedicated fund under Pennsylvania law to support community safety initiatives. The bill establishes the program within Title 35 (Health and Safety) statutes and assigns responsibilities to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) for administering the grants. Local governments, community organizations, or other eligible entities would directly receive funding through this program to address specific safety needs. The key mechanism is the creation of a state-administered grant program with dedicated funding, rather than changing existing laws or policies. The bill is currently in the Judiciary committee for review.
