SB 1269 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for the installation of electrified security systems on commercial entities' property and property of exclusively nonresidential use.

This bill allows commercial businesses and nonresidential property owners in Pennsylvania to install outdoor electrified security systems designed to deter intruders. The law specifies that these systems must use low-voltage batteries, connect to monitored alarms rather than directly calling police, and be positioned behind existing fences with clear warning signs. Local governments retain the authority to require system registration or ban installations that do not meet the new safety standards. The legislation applies immediately to properties designated for commercial or nonresidential use, excluding areas primarily used for containing livestock.
