The bill amends Title 44 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by establishing a new part titled "Miscellaneous Provisions," specifically creating Chapter 81, which focuses on the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods Program. This program aims to enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania by providing grants to improve clearance rates for homicides and other violent crimes. The bill outlines the purpose of the program, the application process for grants, and the permissible uses of the funds, which include hiring personnel, acquiring technology, and supporting witness cooperation.

Additionally, the bill mandates that grant recipients submit annual reports detailing their progress and outcomes, including the number of cases cleared by arrest and exceptional means, personnel hired, and technology acquired. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency is tasked with evaluating the program's effectiveness and ensuring that grants are geographically distributed, with a specific allocation for rural communities. The bill also limits administrative expenses to no more than 3% of the appropriated funds for the program. This act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
