Section 301.1 - General statement

(a) The codes-the County Code, the Third Class City Code, the Borough Code, the First Class Township Code, the Second Class Township Code, a uniform procedural code relating to all classes of local government and all temporary or permanent supplements or amendments to the aforementioned codes-referred to in the act of July 9, 1976 (P. L. 909, No. 164)(46 P. S. §§ 431.2a and 431.2b) are compilations of laws relative to the administration of various units of government. As such, they have important value to local elected and appointed officials, administrative personnel, and others involved in the operation, evaluation, or study of local governments.

(b) It is the policy and intent of the act, as understood by the Local Government Commission, to make available at no cost, copies of the various codes, along with periodic updates, to all who have a legitimate need for such codes. The Local Government Commission also believes the Legislature expects it to exercise prudent judgment in the expenditure of taxpayers' money.
