Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 58304-A. Codification of ordinances

(a) Consolidation, codification and revision.--The board of commissioners may prepare or have prepared a consolidation, codification or revision of the general body of township ordinances or the ordinances on a particular subject. The board of commissioners may enact the consolidation, codification or revision as an ordinance of the township except the required advertised notice of the proposed enactment of the consolidation, codification or revision shall specify its general nature and shall include a listing of its table of contents. The procedure for the consolidation, codification or revision of township ordinances as a single ordinance may also be followed in enacting a complete group or body of ordinances, repealing or amending existing ordinances as may be necessary, in the course of preparing a consolidation, codification or revision of the township ordinances, except that the advertisement giving notice of the proposed enactment shall list, in lieu of a table of contents, the titles only of each of the ordinances in the complete group or body of ordinances.

(b) Enactment.--For a consolidation, codification or revision under subsection (a), the ordinance shall be introduced by the board of commissioners at least 30 days before its final enactment and, at least 15 days before final enactment, notice of the introduction of the ordinance shall be given by advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation.

(c) Subsequent notice.--When any consolidation, codification or revision under subsection (a) has been enacted as an ordinance, it shall not be necessary to advertise the entire text, but it shall be sufficient to publish a notice stating that the consolidation, codification or revision, which had previously been given, was finally enacted.
