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 chair of a vacancy board from voting to fill their own vacancy in an elective borough office. The change directly affects boroughs that need to fill empty seats for local government positions by adding a rule that the board chair must recuse themselves from that specific vote. By prohibiting the chair from casting a vote for their own appointment, the legislation aims to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest during the selection process. This adjustment applies only to the specific voting action regarding the chair's personal candidacy and does not alter other procedures for filling borough office vacancies.
