Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 23 - FORMAT AND STYLE › Subchapter D - SPECIAL RULES FOR AMENDMENTS › Section 23.242 - Title of amendatory bill

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Title of Statutes.
-The bill is an amendment to the Statutes.
					 Thus, the title of the bill must refer to the Statutes as required in the case
					 of any amendatory bill. However, because of the new concept of the Statutes and
					 the fact that the title of the original statute provides no information on
					 subject matter as in the case of other statutes being amended, a short form of
					 reference is used which includes the title number and heading and the short
					 title of the Statutes, and which omits the date of enactment and the
					 constitutional title.
(b)
New matter.
-In addition to the reference described in
					 subsection (a), the title of the amendatory bill must also include new matter
					 which consists of the subject matter of the amendatory bill. The scope and
					 content of the new matter is determined by reference to the rules relating to
					 amendatory bills in general. However, because of the expanded scope of the
					 amendatory bill referred to in section
					 23.241 (relating to scope of
					 amendment) it is desirable to use new techniques to separate the portion of the
					 bill relating to revisions of substantive law from the portion or portions
					 constituting mere codifications or compilations. Accordingly, the revision
					 portion of the new matter should contain language indicating that the bill
					 contains revisions of existing law and the single subject of such revision
					 (
e.g.
"adding and revising provisions relating to publication
					 of laws").
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 23 - FORMAT AND STYLE › Subchapter D - SPECIAL RULES FOR AMENDMENTS › Section 23.243 - Operative language of amendatory bill

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
First section.
-The first
					 amendatory section of the bill will contain a reference to the title of the
					 Statutes affected, a reference without quotes to the official short title of
					 the Statutes, a reference or references to the particular provision or
					 provisions cited for amendment and the manner in which the provision is
					 affected. This conforms to existing practice for bills amending other statutes.
					 In addition to these requirements, it will be necessary, where appropriate
					 (
e.g.
where it would be unclear under which major subdivision
					 the added or affected provision would fall), to refer to the applicable major
					 subdivisions within the title.
(b)
Subsequent sections.
-The language used in subsequent
					 amendatory sections of the bill should conform to existing practice for bills
					 amending other statutes except that it will be necessary to cite the title
					 number and, where appropriate, major subdivisions within the title.
(c)
Summary analyses.
-The
					 summary analysis at the beginning of each major subdivision of the Statutes is
					 not part of the law and will not require amendment to conform to the other
					 provisions of the amendatory bill (
e.g.
when a section or
					 major subdivision is added or deleted or when the heading of a section or major
					 subdivision is changed). However, where it is necessary to refer to a summary
					 analysis for any reason, it shall be identified by reference to the major
					 subdivision containing the analysis (
e.g.
summary analysis for
					 Subchapter A, summary analysis for Chapter 25,
etc.).
Where it
					 is necessary to refer to less than the entire analysis, each separate entry in
					 the analysis is referred to as an "item".

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Provisions in official publication.
-When a provision to be
					 amended is published in a permanent or cumulative supplement edition of the
					 official publication of the Statutes, it is not necessary to cite prior
					 amendments in the bill.
(b)
Provisions not in official publication.
-When a provision to be
					 amended is not published in the official publication, it is necessary to cite
					 prior amendments as in the case of amendments to other statutes.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General rule.
-Except as provided in subsection (b), words,
					 phrases and provisions to be deleted by amendment are placed between brackets
					 and words, phrases and provisions to be added by amendment are underscored in
					 the same manner as amendments to statutes generally.
(b)
Addition of major
					 subdivisions.
-Underscoring is not necessary in the case of additions
					 of entire major subdivisions (including subchapters).

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Whenever an entire major subdivision is revised, the
						existing major subdivision is repealed by appropriate language and the new
						major subdivision is added by appropriate language in either the same or
						immediately succeeding section of the amendatory bill followed by the text of
						the new major subdivision.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Provisions in bill.
-In amending bills containing tables of
					 contents, summary analyses and cross references, it will be necessary to amend
					 the table of contents, summary analysis or cross reference affected by the
					 amendment to the bill.
(b)
Provisions not in bill.
-If the amendment affects a cross
					 reference in the Statutes by reason of the amendment of a heading or repeal of
					 a provision, even though not contained in the bill amended, an appropriate
					 amendment to amend the section which contains the reference should be added to
					 the bill.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter A - INTRODUCTION › Section 25.1 - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
This Chapter sets forth a recommended procedure for the
						drafting attorney who desires to draft or edit a revision bill so as to conform
						to the requirements of Chapter 23 (relating to format and style). The several
						sections of Subchapter B (relating to procedures) are arranged in chronological
						order and therefore may be utilized as a guide or checklist in proceeding
						through such editorial function. Each section of the Subchapter accordingly
						assumes that the functions described in all preceding sections have been
						performed in the manner indicated.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.11 - Draft of revision bill

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
In preparing or reviewing a draft of a revision bill,
						consideration should be given to the provisions of Subchapter B of Chapter 23
						(relating to sequence of material) to assure an appropriate and suitable
						arrangement of material including the distribution of units to appropriate
						part, chapter, subchapter or other major subdivision headings. Upon final
						determination of the broad outline of the revision bill and rearrangement of
						text, as required, the text should be examined and analyzed pursuant to the
						following provisions of this Subchapter.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.12 - Insertion of short title

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Major subdivisions and sections of the revision bill
						should be analyzed to determine the suitability of providing one or more
						official short titles. See §
											23.44 (relating to short
						titles).
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.13 - Insertion of scope provisions

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General rule.
-The revision bill should be examined to identify
					 broad exceptions, exclusions or exemptions applicable to parts, chapters,
					 subchapters or other major subdivisions and in each case an appropriate scope
					 provision should be drafted and inserted at the beginning of the affected major
					 subdivision.
(b)
Violators.
-Care should be taken so as to avoid the drafting
					 error of rendering a major subdivision technically inapplicable to persons who
					 violate the provisions thereof. This error occurs where a major subdivision is
					 stated to be applicable to a defined class of persons and the definition of the
					 class is so drawn as to include only licensed or authorized persons. The
					 preferred solution is to render the major subdivision expressly applicable to
					 violators, as follows:
(a) General rule.-This
					 chapter applies to every fraternal benefit society and to every person who
					 violates any provision of this chapter.
(b) Exception.-..
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.14 - Analysis and insertion of definitions

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The revision bill should be analyzed from the following
						points of view:
(1) To determine which
					 definitions set forth in
					 1
					 Pa.C.S. §
												1991 (relating to definitions)
					 are adequate for the purposes of the bill and, where appropriate, to insert
					 such defined terms in lieu of equivalent language contained in the initial
					 draft.
(2) To identify the special
					 definitions utilized in the initial draft, and to determine the appropriate
					 scope to be accorded to such definitions, that is, to determine whether the
					 definitions should be confined to a specific section, or whether they should
					 precede a part, chapter, subchapter or other major subdivision.
(3) To examine the special definitions
					 utilized in the initial draft in both of the following ways:
(i) To determine whether they are consistent
					 with definitions of similar concepts in related areas of the law. Occasionally
					 other statutes, not encompassed in the draft under consideration, will
					 incorporate by reference a definition contained in a statute incorporated into
					 and repealed by the bill. In such case a change in the definition may result in
					 an inadvertent change in the meaning of the other statute. Where a first
					 provision of the Statutes makes an express reference to a second provision of
					 the Statutes, the citation of the first provision is printed following the text
					 of the second or cited provision as published in Purdon's Statutes. Therefore,
					 whenever a provision of the Statutes which sets forth a definition is
					 incorporated into and repealed by or is amended by a revision bill, the
					 Purdon's Statutes text of the provision should be consulted to determine
					 whether the repeal or amendment will affect any other provision of the
					 Statutes.
(ii) To determine whether
					 they are internally consistent. A definition "tree" (for example, reference
					 should be made to §
												23.222 (relating to Commonwealth
					 government)) should be prepared as a working paper showing the relationship of
					 all definitions utilized in the draft.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.15 - Insertion of major subdivision headings

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General rule.
-The part,
					 chapter, subchapter and other major subdivision headings should be inserted.
					 If, for example, a chapter is introduced by a scope provision or a definitional
					 section, or both, such provisions are ordinarily contained in a separate
					 introductory subchapter, which may be entitled as follows: GENERAL PROVISIONS
					 PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS DEFINITIONS APPLICATION OF CHAPTER
(b)
Numbering.
-Following the
					 insertion of the text of the major subdivision headings, the headings should be
					 numbered or lettered in conformity with this Subpart.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.16 - Insertion of undesignated center heads

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Undesignated center heads may be inserted to group
						sections relating to a common subject, unless the subchapter or chapter
						embracing the sections relates to a single subject. The use of undesignated
						center heads should be avoided whenever possible. Their use is only necessary
						within a subchapter. Normally, the use of appropriate major subdivisions should
						be sufficient to group related subjects.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.17 - Assignment of section numbers

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Section numbers should be assigned in conformity with
						§
											23.25 (relating to sections) and
						§
											23.27 (relating to reservation of
						numbers). The process of section numbering does not represent simply the
						sequential assignment of appropriate section numbers to the sections of the
						rearranged and modified initial draft, but rather is a major editorial effort
						seeking the best compromise among the following inconsistent
						considerations:
(1) In order to
					 simplify the revised draft and allow for subsequent expansion by amendment,
					 each subsection of the initial draft should be numbered as a separate
					 independent section in the final draft.
(2) A title of the Statutes must avoid
					 section numbers larger than four digits, that is, no chapter may be numbered
					 beyond 99 and no section beyond 9999. Since even numbered chapters are omitted
					 to allow for future expansion and since from 25 to 50 section numbers are
					 required to number the typical chapter, approximately 2,500 section numbers are
					 actually available for use in a specific title. Thus, assignment of section
					 numbers on the basis set forth in paragraph (1) may exhaust the available
					 section numbers.
(3) The numbering
					 of each subsection of the initial draft as a separate section in the final
					 draft may require repeated and awkward cross references to closely related
					 provisions which formerly constituted units of the same section. This condition
					 indicates the desirability of retaining the prior relationship.
(4) In some instances (for example, the
					 Business Corporation Law, the Nonprofit Corporation Law and the like), the
					 statute to be incorporated into and repealed by the bill is well known and
					 heavily utilized by affected persons and a thoroughgoing renumbering would work
					 a serious inconvenience to these users. This condition indicates the
					 desirability of retaining the integrity of the sections of the prior law to the
					 maximum extent possible.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Section headings should be inserted in conformity with
						§
											23.41 (relating to section
						headings). Each heading should be brief, but yet sufficient to form the basis
						for an adequate description should the occasion arise under §
											23.52 (relating to cross
						reference descriptions). Colons, semicolons and other objectionable punctuation
						should be avoided.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Subsection headings should be inserted in conformity with
						§
											23.42 (relating to subsection
						headings). Each heading should be brief, and should not be unnecessarily
						expanded merely for the purpose of forming a basis for a possible cross
						reference under §
											23.52 (relating to cross
						reference descriptions). Colons, semicolons and other objectionable punctuation
						should be avoided.

						of this Subpart.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart D - PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES STYLE MANUAL › Chapter 25 - CODIFICATION PROCEDURES › Subchapter B - PROCEDURES › Section 25.22 - Elimination of departures from uniform style of the Statutes

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The text of each provision of the bill should be analyzed
						to detect and correct departures from the rules of style established for the
						Statutes by this Subpart. Ordinarily the most effective approach is to read the
						revision bill from beginning to end with one or two of the following rules of
						style in mind, and to repeat the process until the list has been
						exhausted:
§
											23.101. Punctuation,
						capitalization and orthography.
§ 23.102. Geographic names.
§
											23.103. Use of words or figures
						to express numbers.
§
											23.104. Enumeration in running
						text.
§
											23.105. References to
						Commonwealth.
§
											23.106. References to
						Constitution of Pennsylvania.
§
											23.107. References to
						Legislature.
§
											23.108. References to pamphlet
						laws.
§
											23.109. References to United
						States Government.
§
											23.110. Conferring powers and
						imposing duties.
§
											23.111. Cross references to
						supplying or superseding statutes.
§
											23.112. Introduction of
						definitions.
§
											23.113. References to repealed
						statutes.
§ 23.114. Defining offenses.
§ 23.115. Preambles.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General rule.
-The bill
					 is in the form of an amendment to a particular title of the Pennsylvania
					 Consolidated Statutes. Accordingly, the bill should be analyzed in the usual
					 manner appropriate to an amendatory bill and the proper instructions inserted,
					 as follows:
Section 1. Title 9 of the
					 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes is amended by adding parts to read:
***
Section
					 2. Chapter 5 of Title 54 is amended by adding a subchapter to

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General rule.
-A section should be added to the bill repealing
					 absolutely all statutory provisions, the substance of which is incorporated
					 into or rendered obsolete by the bill.
(b)
Separate repealer
					 bill.
-In some cases, particularly where it is anticipated that the
					 revision bill may be substantially amended during legislative consideration,
					 the revision bill will contain only a general repealer, and following enactment
					 of the revision bill a separate bill containing specific repeals will be
					 introduced and enacted, effective, however, retroactive to the effective date
					 of the revision bill.

The bill should be analyzed to determine the broad
						subject matter covered, which ordinarily will be adequately described by the
						headings of the most senior major subdivisions embraced in the bill, and a
						title should be prepared setting forth such subject matter as new matter in the
						title, as follows:
AN ACT Amending Title 1 (General Provisions) of the
						Consolidated Pennsylvania Statutes, changing provisions relating to the
						publication of laws; adding provisions relating to the adoption and publication
						of constitutional and statutory provisions and to statutory construction; and
						making repeals.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Background.
-The General Assembly, in considering a revision
						bill, ordinarily desires to concentrate its attention on those features of the
						bill which may effect a change in the law as in effect prior to the enactment
						of the revision bill. For this reason it is important that each section of a
						revision bill be accompanied by an appropriate source note.
(b)
General rule.
-In
						preparing a revision bill, adequate working papers should be maintained to
						enable the preparation of accurate source notes with respect to each section of
						the revision bill.

						citation of the source statute:
Reenactment of ....
Substantially a reenactment of ....
Derived from ....
(3) If the provision is entirely new, the
						word "New" and, if appropriate, the phrase "Patterned after....." followed by
						the citation of statute which formed the model for the new provision.
(4) If any of the statutes cited pursuant to
						paragraphs (2) and (3) are published in Purdon's Statutes or a similar code,
						the parallel citation to the statutes in that code.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Reenactment.
-The term "Reenactment of . . . . ." when used in
						a source note implies that the text of the provision in the revision bill is
						identical with the text of the prior statute, except for purely formal changes
						such as the substitution of the term "subchapter" for the term "act,"
						substitution of cross reference language to reflect renumbering, addition of
						section and subsection headings and the like.
(b)
Substantially a
						reenactment.
-The term "Substantially a reenactment of . . . . ." when
						used in a source note implies that, although the text of the provision in the
						revision bill has been rewritten, the effect of the provision is substantially
						the same as that of the prior statute.
(c)
Derived.
-The term
						"Derived from . . . . ." when used in a source note implies that the provision
						in the revision bill constitutes a revision of the prior statutes on the same
						subject, and may effect significant changes in the content of the prior
						law.
(d)
Patterned.
-The term "Patterned after . . . . ." when used in a
						source note implies that the provision in the revision bill is new, and has
						been based, in whole or in part, upon the cited source.

(b)
Status.
-Source notes are
						unofficial in the sense that they do not constitute part of the law. However,
						following enactment of the bill, the courts will certainly consult the source
						notes in construing pertinent provisions of the Statutes.

Statutes are ordinarily set forth chronologically in
						  the repealer provisions of a revision bill. Therefore, a table, arranged
						  according to the statutory provisions cited for repeal in the repealer
						  provisions should be prepared setting forth the following in three columns,
						  usually running from left to right:
(1) The citation to the paragraph of the
						repealer provision which cites the prior law for repeal.
(2) The Purdon's Statutes citation of the
						prior law to be repealed.
(3) The
						Pa.C.S. citation of the corresponding provision of the revision bill which
						results from the provision of the prior law to be repealed, or, if the prior
						law has been omitted from the revision bill, the word "obsolete" or other
						indication of the basis for the omission.
