An Act amending Titles 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns), 11 (Cities) and 16 (Counties) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in ordinances, further providing for publication; in council, further providing for publication of proposed ordinance; and, in county commissioners and chief clerks, further providing for ordinances and resolutions.
HB 2177 updates publication requirements for proposed ordinances in Pennsylvania boroughs, cities, and counties. It mandates that when publishing a proposed ordinance, municipalities must include a detailed summary covering tax/fee changes, penalties, and fund-related provisions (like payments or restrictions), along with references to where the full text can be viewed online or at a physical location. This applies to all proposed ordinances before council votes, ensuring the public has clear access to key details. The bill does not change the content of ordinances but standardizes how they are communicated to residents.
