An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in the State System of Higher Education, further providing for definitions and for powers and duties of councils of trustees. Amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in employees, further providing for automatic certification.

Added a new definition for 'campus police' in the Public School Code, specifying they must be certified police officers under specific municipal police education standards.

Modified the authority for campus police to carry firearms by adding a condition that the institution must have previously authorized such authority on the effective date of the paragraph.

Added a provision stating that any resolution authorizing campus police to carry firearms is void and of no effect until the new section takes effect.

Removed the requirement that campus police must have successfully completed a specific campus police course of training to be included in the definition.

Changed the effective date clause from a standard 60-day period to a specific section 4 that voids prior resolutions, followed by a new section 5 with the 60-day effective date.
