An Act amending Title 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in vacancies in office, further providing for filling vacancies in elective borough offices.

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to prevent the chairperson of a borough vacancy board from voting to fill their own vacancy in an elective borough office. The change directly affects boroughs that use vacancy boards to fill empty seats and ensures that the board's chair cannot participate in deciding their own appointment. By removing the chairperson's vote in this specific situation, the legislation aims to reduce potential conflicts of interest during the selection process. The provision applies only to the chairperson's vote and does not alter other aspects of how vacancies are filled.
