SB993 expands the powers of boroughs and third class cities in Pennsylvania to include maintenance and repair of memorials.

SB993 amends Pennsylvania law to allow borough councils to control, maintain, and repair memorials honoring first responders and veterans. It also grants third class city councils similar authority over memorials. The bill defines "memorial" as monuments or memorials commemorating first responders and veterans. Boroughs and cities can receive funds for these purposes. The changes apply to existing and future memorials within these municipalities.
