Pennsylvania HB1423 amends laws on filling vacancies for district attorneys and municipal officers, and limits municipal powers.
Pennsylvania HB1423 amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to change how vacancies in district attorney offices are filled. If a vacancy occurs in a district attorney's office, the first assistant district attorney will fill the role for the remainder of the term. If the first assistant is unable or unwilling to serve, the court of common pleas will appoint a qualified individual. The bill also modifies the limitation on municipal powers, ensuring that home rule charters cannot grant authority contrary to state statutes.
