An Act relating to contracts to provide law enforcement services between the Department of Public Safety and municipalities; relating to the powers and duties of state troopers; relating to the general powers of municipalities; and providing for an effective date.

SB 242 clarifies that state troopers can enforce local criminal ordinances when contracted by a municipality under existing agreements. It also codifies 17 specific powers municipalities already hold under state law, including setting salaries, managing property, enforcing local ordinances, and entering cooperative agreements with the state. The bill directly affects municipalities (cities and boroughs) and state troopers by defining their roles in law enforcement contracts. These changes aim to clarify authority without creating new powers, focusing on operational clarity for local and state law enforcement coordination.
