GFOA-PA West Region Member Meeting

Date: Wednesday, April 24, 2024

Time: 12 - 2PM; Registration begins at 11:30AM

Location: South Fayette Township Municipal Center, 100 Township Drive, South Fayette PA 15017

Cost: Members -  $10, Non-Members - $25, Free Virtual Option Available 

Event Topic: Act 59 and Its Impacts

Act 59 of 2020 was signed into law on July 14, 2020 to provide for municipal police officers who require mental health evaluations under three conditions: where an officer requests an evaluation, where a Chief of Police refers an officer, or when an officer uses lethal force. The law also requires mandatory training for all officers. While this law supports our first responders, the costs of the evaluations, lost time, and training are not covered by state funding. Additionally, the Act creates many unsolved questions and ‘grey areas’ that can be problematic for even the most experienced municipal officials. This session will help you understand: 

  • How to approach a potential Act 59 claim
  • The potential costs associated with an Act 59 claim 

In addition, lunch will be provided and ample time for networking with other local municipal professionals.
