An Act amending Title 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for the preservation of records.

This bill prohibits government-owned electronic devices (including those used by schools and local agencies) from having software or technology that blocks the creation, maintenance, or preservation of required records. It directly affects state and local government entities, school districts, and their digital systems. The law requires that all government devices must retain records as legally mandated, with limited exceptions for law enforcement security needs. It amends Pennsylvania’s state government code to add these record-preservation rules, effective 60 days after enactment. The bill does not create new record-keeping requirements but ensures existing legal obligations are met through device configuration.
