An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in administrative organization, further providing for department heads, for gubernatorial appointments and for deputies.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Administrative Code to clarify how executive departments are led and how their leaders are appointed. It establishes that each administrative department must have an officer who personally or through a deputy exercises the department's powers and duties. The legislation also sets specific rules for gubernatorial appointments, requiring Senate confirmation before a nominee can serve or receive pay. Additionally, it defines the role of deputy heads, limiting their authority to act as department leaders for no more than 90 days and prohibiting them from receiving higher pay or salary increases while serving in that temporary capacity.
