An Act amending Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of construction, further providing for definitions.
HB 1172 amends Pennsylvania's General Provisions to update a specific legal definition by removing the phrase "thermal or other dissolution" and replacing it with just "or thermal." This change directly affects how certain terms are interpreted within the state's consolidated statutes. The bill does not introduce new policies or alter existing laws beyond this textual correction to the rules of construction.
