PA HB2284

Municipalities receiving Pennsylvania State Police patrol services must pay an annual fee, calculated per capita based on the difference between the FY 2021-2022 Motor License Fund appropriation and current appropriations to State Police

Municipalities receiving full-time State Police patrol (24/7 coverage) pay the full per capita rate, while those receiving part-time supplemental patrol pay one-third of that rate

Exemptions apply to municipalities classified as financially distressed and to smaller municipalities providing minimum local patrol coverage (e.g., towns under 1,000 population with at least 40 hours/week of local patrol)

Municipalities that eliminate their local police departments after the effective date must enter into formal agreements with State Police, with fees set by the Commissioner based on population, square mileage, crime rates, and other factors

Non-paying municipalities become ineligible for liquid fuels tax funding until balances are paid in full; collected fees are deposited into the General Fund with corresponding reductions to Motor License Fund allocations for State Police
