Bill > HB1230

This bill amends the Second Class Township Code to provide additional provisions related to township auditors and the township manager position. Specifically, it adds a subsection to allow elected or appointed township officers to avoid being surcharged (i.e., held financially liable) if they acted in good faith based on a written opinion from the township solicitor. Additionally, the bill expands the township's ability to enter into employment or professional services agreements with the township manager, including provisions for severance compensation or termination payments. The bill also specifies that the township manager, if not an individual, and its officers and employees providing services are considered public officials for purposes of restricted activities under state law.
