An Act amending Title 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in powers and duties of elected officials, further providing for organization of council, quorum, participation by telecommunication device, voting, compensation and eligibility; and, in mayor, further providing for salary of mayor.

This bill updates Pennsylvania laws regarding the compensation and eligibility rules for borough and town council members and mayors. It clarifies that council members do not receive pay for unexcused absences from meetings, while allowing excused absences for reasons like illness, emergencies, or travel. The legislation also ensures that a borough cannot be forced to lower a mayor's or council member's salary if the town's population decreases, though it maintains that council pay cannot exceed the mayor's salary. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines on how local officials are paid and when they are eligible for that pay.
