An Act amending the act of November 22, 1978 (P.L.1166, No.274), referred to as the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency Law, providing for Public Safety Resident Communications Pilot Program.

HB 627 creates a two-year pilot program allowing public safety agencies in select Pennsylvania communities to implement a new communication system connecting residents with emergency services. The bill amends the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency Law to establish this program, directly affecting participating local police departments and fire agencies, as well as residents in designated pilot areas. Key provisions require the Commission to develop guidelines for the system, track participation rates, and report findings to the legislature by 2027. This is a limited-scope pilot, not a permanent statewide requirement, with no funding specified in the bill text.
