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. 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 the Right-to-Know Law, which governs public access to government records. However, the bill stipulates that section 506(d) of the Right-to-Know Law will still apply to volunteer EMS companies, volunteer fire companies, or volunteer rescue companies that have contracts with Commonwealth or local agencies.

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.
