Media Notes Published not part of bill:
Amendment A4316 to House Bill 907, Printer's Number 1015, would repeal most of the
provisions of Article 30 of the County Code, Act 130 of 1955, as it relates to the
Southwestern Pennsylvania Regional Renaissance Initiative Act, enacted by the General As
sembly through the passage of Act 18 of 1997. The amendment, introduced on behalf of the
Local Government Commission, is offered for two reasons.
(1)
to save substantial printing costs when the County Code Supplements are reprinted and
subsequently distributed by the Local Government Commission to counties of the third
through eighth class after the end of the 1997-1998 Legislative Session, and
(2)
to repeal provisions of Article 30 that are not effective since the referendum required by
Act 18 was defeated by the voters in all of the counties which were to have participated
in the regional renaissance initiative.
The
Local Government Commission is further concerned that failure to exercise the majority of
the provisions of Act 18 from the County Code will wreak confusion for counties as to the
construction of Article 30, particularly by those counties which were not to have beer
subject to the regional renaissance initiative.
Several sections of Article 30 will remain in effect that would have an impact on the
additional hotel room rental tax that, among other things, is to be a source of funding
for the expansion of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.
This
amendment was unanimously adopted by the legislature.
