An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in corporate powers, further providing for care of memorials.

SB 972 amends Pennsylvania's Second Class Township Code to expand the definition of "memorials" that townships can maintain. It specifically adds memorials honoring first responders - including firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and police officers - to the existing category recognizing military veterans. The bill allows township boards of supervisors to repair, establish, or fund these memorials using donations from individuals or organizations. This change directly affects second-class townships across Pennsylvania by clarifying their authority to care for both military and first responder memorials.
