An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for Safe Exchange Zone Program.
SB 665 creates a state-funded program allowing Pennsylvania municipalities to establish "Safe Exchange Zones" for two specific purposes: exchanging online purchases and conducting child custody exchanges. Municipalities apply for one-time grants to set up zones within 100 feet of police stations, sheriff's offices, or public areas with active presence, requiring clear signage, video surveillance, and emergency contact displays. The program mandates that participating police departments or sheriff's offices monitor zones for safety without interfering unless a clear danger exists, and it protects municipalities, law enforcement, and the state from liability for participant conduct. This bill, pending in committee, aims to provide designated safe locations through local grant funding.
