Pennsylvania HB525 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow removal of elected municipal officers for cause.
Pennsylvania HB525 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to establish procedures for the removal of elected officers of municipalities. Each county would be required to provide by ordinance for the removal of such officers, which would only be allowed for cause, including absenteeism from meetings and dereliction of duty. This amendment does not preclude other constitutional provisions for disqualification, impeachment, or removal of municipal officers. The amendment would require two passages by the General Assembly before being submitted to voters.
