An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions, further providing for definitions; in Commonwealth services, further providing for definitions; and, in emergency responder mental wellness and stress management, further providing for definitions.

SB 623 amends Pennsylvania law to clarify definitions related to emergency responders and telecommunicators across multiple statutes. It adds a specific definition for "telecommunicator" (including call takers, dispatchers, and supervisors at public safety answering points) and expands the definition of "emergency responder" to explicitly include telecommunicators, physicians, nurses, public health workers, and other professionals in emergency response roles. The bill does not create new programs or funding but standardizes terminology to ensure consistent application of existing laws. It directly affects emergency service personnel, public safety agencies, and the legal framework governing their roles. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
