An Act amending Title 16 (Counties) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in prothonotary, clerk of courts, clerk of orphans' court, register of wills and recorder of deeds, further providing for office holders.

Senate Bill 714 amends Pennsylvania county law concerning individuals who hold specific county offices. It primarily affects counties classified as fourth class by allowing one individual to hold both the offices of prothonotary and clerk of courts. This bill creates an exception to existing provisions that generally require separate individuals for these roles in third and fourth-class counties. The change offers flexibility for the consolidation of these two specific county offices in fourth-class counties.
