An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, further providing for organization.
This bill reorganizes Pennsylvania's Emergency Management Agency by updating who serves on its governing council and clarifying the director's role. It specifies that the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council will include the Governor, cabinet secretaries, legislative leaders, and nonvoting representatives from local governments, business, and labor. The bill also requires the Governor to appoint a State Director (with Senate approval) who will serve as the primary coordinator for disaster response efforts under federal declarations. This is a procedural change to agency structure, not a policy shift affecting public services or funding.
