Pennsylvania Statutes Title 71 P.S. State Government § 750-7. Consideration by General Assembly; effective date of reorganizations specified in plan

(a) Each reorganization plan transmitted to the General Assembly shall be proposed as a resolution, and shall be placed on the calendar of each house for the next legislative day following its receipt, and shall be considered by each house within thirty calendar days of continuous session of the General Assembly.

(b) Each reorganization plan shall take effect if it is approved by a majority vote of the duly elected membership of each house during such thirty-day period, or

(c) may be disapproved by either house during that period by a majority vote of the duly elected membership of each house.

No resolution shall be effective, (1) unless it designates the number of the reorganization plan and the date on which it was transmitted to the General Assembly, or (2) if it specifies more than one reorganization plan except as otherwise provided by subsection (e) of this section. The effective date of each reorganization plan shall be the date of approval of the last of the two houses to act. Upon the expiration of the thirty-day period after the delivery of the plan to the two houses of the General Assembly and the failure to act as provided in subsections  1 (b) or (c) of this section each reorganization plan shall become effective.

(d) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this section--

(e) any provision of the plan may, under provisions contained in the plan, be made operative at a time later than the date on which the plan otherwise takes effect.
