An Act repealing the act of October 4, 1978 (P.L.876, No.169), referred to as the Pennsylvania Crime Commission Act.
HB 1427 repeals the Pennsylvania Crime Commission Act of 1978, which established a state commission to investigate organized crime and public corruption. The repeal formally ends the legal authority of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission, which had already been scheduled to expire under its own sunset provision in 1994. This bill removes the commission from state statutes as a routine technical correction, eliminating an obsolete law that no longer had operational effect. The repeal does not create new policies or affect current operations, as the commission ceased functioning decades ago.
