Section 15.229 - Reenacting penalty clause
Universal Citation: 101 PA Code ยง 15.229
Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
In changing a clause in a penal section or adding a new clause, the penalty is likewise included without being referred to unless it is changed. The reason is that penal statutes are strictly construed and it may be held that the part of the statute amended is not reenacted and published at length unless the penalty is included.
