Bill > HB1444

This bill proposes an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution to allow the state legislature to provide for the removal of elected municipal officers, such as for absenteeism or dereliction of duty. The amendment would establish a uniform process for removal, while also preserving other constitutional provisions for the disqualification, impeachment, or removal of municipal officers. The bill outlines the required steps for passing a constitutional amendment, including advertising the proposed amendment and submitting it to voters in the next primary, general, or municipal election occurring at least three months after the legislature's approval.
