The bill amends Title 71 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new part titled "State-Owned Electronic Devices and Networks," specifically focusing on the preservation of records. It introduces Chapter 75, which outlines definitions related to government-owned electronic devices and establishes a prohibition against the installation of applications, software, or technologies that would prevent these devices from maintaining or preserving records as mandated by law. The definitions clarify what constitutes a "government-owned electronic device" and include terms related to government and local education agencies.

Additionally, the bill specifies that while government-owned electronic devices must not have any technology that hinders record preservation, there is an exception for law enforcement activities and security-related functions. In such cases, necessary applications or software may be used, provided they do not interfere with the legal requirements for record maintenance. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
