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 relating to intrastate mutual aid; and, in emergency responder mental wellness and stress management, further providing for definitions.

HB 1463 amends Pennsylvania's health and safety laws to update and clarify the definitions of various emergency service roles and organizations. The bill specifically revises how terms such as "fire company," "volunteer fire company," "emergency responder," and "telecommunicator" are defined across multiple sections of state statutes. By standardizing these descriptions, the legislation ensures consistency in how the state categorizes firefighters, medical workers, dispatchers, and other personnel involved in emergency response and mutual aid. This update applies to all volunteer, municipal, and nonprofit agencies that provide fire protection, rescue, or emergency medical services within the Commonwealth.
