An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Commonwealth services, further providing for organization.

HB 1712 updates Pennsylvania's emergency communication rules under Title 35 (Health and Safety). It requires the state emergency management agency to maintain a single integrated system for weather advisories, disaster warnings, and coordination with local agencies, police, and the National Weather Service. The bill mandates two new statewide phone numbers: one for the public and emergency personnel to report hazardous materials or disasters, and another for the legislative branch to directly communicate with the agency during weather emergencies. These changes directly affect county/municipal emergency responders, state agencies (including the State Police), and legislative offices. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
