An Act amending Title 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in vacancies in office, further providing for temporary auditor; and, in taxation and finance, further providing for adoption of budget.
This bill updates Pennsylvania laws regarding borough and town governance to address financial management when auditor positions are empty. It allows a borough council to temporarily appoint one or two individuals to fill vacancies in the auditor's office, granting them the same powers as elected auditors until the next election. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that the council must adopt the town budget by December 31 and ensures total spending cannot exceed available estimated revenues. The council retains full discretion to set the qualifications for these temporary appointments.
