Pennsylvania HB822 amends the Housing Authorities Law to expand the powers of housing authorities. These authorities, which aim to provide housing for low-income individuals, can now appoint police officers in certain municipalities. These officers must complete the same training as municipal police officers and maintain certification as a condition of employment. The bill also reaffirms the authorities' existing powers, such as acquiring property and entering into agreements with various entities. The changes will take effect 60 days after the act's passage.
