An Act amending Title 61 (Prisons and Parole) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general administration relating to correctional institutions, providing for residency of corrections officers.

Summary

The bill lets the Department of Corrections hire or promote corrections officers who live outside Pennsylvania, overriding the usual residency rule. At the same time, it adds a five‑point preference to the exam scores of Pennsylvania residents applying for the same jobs. This creates a dual system of eligibility and preference for state correctional staff.
