CONTENTS:

A document is a section of the statutes or section of an article of the Pennsylvania Constitution. A current-through line, appearing at the end of a document, tells you how current the document is.

Pennsylvania legislation has been partially consolidated (reorganized and recodified) as part of the program initiated by Act 1970, Nov. 25, P.L. 707, No. 230, as amended. Consequently, statutory sections are organized within either the original Purdon s unconsolidated codification, abbreviated P.S. under numbers assigned by Thomson Reuters, or within the consolidated codification, abbreviated Pa.C.S.A. under number assigned legislatively.

The chronological history of each statutory section is credited following the text of each section. The abbreviation P.L. stands for Pamphlet Laws ; a term of art for the Commonwealth s annual official compendium of Acts of the General Assembly, published as Laws of Pennsylvania .
