An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in township supervisors, further providing for compensation of supervisors.
This bill updates the Second Class Township Code to establish new maximum annual compensation limits for township supervisors based on their town's population size. It sets specific salary caps ranging from $3,145 for smaller townships to $8,385 for those with 35,000 or more residents. Additionally, the legislation allows townships to choose a per-meeting payment system instead of an annual salary, provided the total amount paid does not exceed the established population-based maximums. Supervisors can receive these payments for attending advertised public meetings, with provisions for excused absences due to illness, emergencies, or family travel.
