The bill amends Title 53 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to include a new subsection regarding the automatic certification of police officers at Fort Indiantown Gap. Specifically, it establishes criteria for installation police officers to maintain their certification, which includes satisfactorily completing basic educational and training requirements, fulfilling the minimum in-service training hours set by the commission, and having either an active certification or a previously lapsed certification within the last two years, provided there has been no lapse in service.

This legislative change aims to streamline the certification process for police officers at Fort Indiantown Gap, ensuring that qualified personnel can maintain their certification status while serving at this military installation. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
