Summary

The bill obligates anyone who worked for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and is applying for a Pennsylvania law‑enforcement position to submit a comprehensive form. The form lists supervisors, authorizes background checks, and requires disclosure of any deadly‑force investigations or disciplinary actions. Agencies cannot hire without this information, and false statements may lead to denial, termination, or criminal prosecution.
