An Act amending Titles 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns), 11 (Cities) and 16 (Counties) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in ordinances, further providing for publication; in council, further providing for publication of proposed ordinance; and, in county commissioners and chief clerks, further providing for ordinances and resolutions.

Summary

The bill adds new publication rules for boroughs, cities and counties in Pennsylvania. Before a council, city board or county commission can vote on an ordinance, they must publish the full text—or a title and a detailed summary—in a newspaper 7 to 60 days in advance, plus information on where the public can view the document. The change aims to increase transparency and give residents clearer notice of tax, fee, penalty or spending measures.
