This bill amends Titles 8 and 11 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance the training opportunities for newly elected officers in boroughs and cities. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection in Section 806 of Title 8, allowing boroughs to cover the necessary expenses for newly elected officers to attend educational training before their terms begin. Additionally, a new section is added to Title 11, which similarly permits cities to pay for the training expenses of newly elected officers.

The bill aims to ensure that newly elected officials are adequately prepared for their roles by facilitating access to educational resources. The provisions emphasize the importance of training in promoting effective governance at the local level. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
