It mandates that law enforcement agencies report separation records to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency's electronic database. Agencies that fail to comply with reporting requirements are ineligible for state funding. The hiring report, detailing reasons for hiring applicants with disciplinary actions, must be included in the database and made publicly accessible.
