A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study and establish an advisory committee to determine the impact on Pennsylvania taxpayers of Pennsylvania State Police full or partial police services for municipalities that do not maintain full police coverage.
This resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission to study the financial impact on Pennsylvania taxpayers of state police services provided to municipalities without their own local departments. The bill requires the commission to form an advisory committee including representatives from revenue, transportation, and law enforcement sectors to analyze costs and tax burdens associated with these services. Key findings must include the per capita cost of coverage, the effect on local millage rates, and an estimate of fees needed to fund these services if the state mandated a direct charge to municipalities. The commission is tasked with submitting a report with these recommendations to the House of Representatives within one year of the resolution's adoption.
