An Act 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.
SB 923 exempts records held by volunteer emergency services in Pennsylvania from public disclosure under the Right-to-Know Law. It directly affects volunteer EMS companies, fire companies, rescue companies, and firefighters' relief associations. The exemption applies unless these groups contract with a state or local government agency, in which case specific Right-to-Know Law provisions (section 506(d)) would still apply. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
