MAY 14, 2024
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT, MAY 14, 2024
AN ACT
Amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), entitled "An
act concerning townships of the second class; and amending,
revising, consolidating and changing the law relating

Salaries are payable monthly or quarterly for the duties imposed
by this act. [The population is determined by the latest
official census figures, except that no township shall be
required to reduce the salary of a supervisor as a result of a
decrease in population.] The compensation of supervisors, when
employed as roadmasters, laborers, secretary, treasurer,
assistant secretary, assistant treasurer or in any employe
capacity not otherwise prohibited by this or any other act,
shall be determined by the board of auditors, at an hourly,
daily, weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, which shall be
comparable to compensation paid in the locality for similar
services. The board of supervisors may establish a mileage
allowance, under the act of July 20, 1979 (P.L.156, No.51),
referred to as the Uniform Mileage Fee Law, to be paid to
officers and employes for the use of a personal vehicle when
required and actually used for authorized township business. No
supervisor may receive compensation as an employe for attending
a meeting of the board of supervisors. Supervisors may continue
to be compensated under prior law until such time as an
ordinance is enacted under this act. Any change in salary,
compensation or emoluments of the elected office becomes
effective at the beginning of the next term of the supervisor. A
decision by the township to pay, in whole or in part, to include
supervisors not employed by the township in insurance plans, as
authorized in subsection (c), shall not be implemented with
regard to any nonemploye supervisor until the beginning of the
next term of that supervisor.
