Summary

The bill would give the legislative body of a second‑ or third‑class city or town the authority to seek a court‑ordered removal of its fiscal officer. Removal could be based on illegal fee collection, failure to perform duties, not being present in the office, or missing four consecutive council meetings. The measure also sets out a hearing process, possible penalties, and limited defenses for the officer.
