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 downloading or installing 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 includes an exception for law enforcement activities, security interests, security research, or risk mitigation actions, allowing for necessary applications or technologies to be used, provided they do not hinder the creation, maintenance, or preservation of records. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
