The bill amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new section that provides an exemption for certain records from public access under the Right-to-Know Law. Specifically, it states that records of volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) companies, volunteer fire companies, volunteer rescue companies, and volunteer firefighters' relief associations are exempt from access, as defined in the relevant sections of the law. However, it clarifies that the provisions of section 506(d) of the Right-to-Know Law will still apply to those volunteer organizations that contract with a Commonwealth or local agency.

This legislation aims to protect sensitive information related to volunteer emergency services while still maintaining some level of transparency for those organizations that engage in contracts with government entities. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
