A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for removal of elected officers of municipalities.

HB 525 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would require Pennsylvania counties to create local ordinances allowing the removal of elected municipal officials (like mayors or council members) only for specific reasons. The bill defines "cause" as absenteeism from meetings or failing to perform duties, and clarifies that this does not replace existing removal processes. As a constitutional amendment, it must pass both legislative chambers and be approved by voters in the next general election. This change would directly affect municipal officials and county governments, but it does not alter current state-level removal procedures.
