This bill amends the Second Class Township Code by updating the requirements for the publication of proposed ordinances by the board of supervisors. It specifies that all proposed ordinances must be published between seven and sixty days before passage, and the publication must include either the full text or a brief summary of the ordinance. The brief summary must detail any tax, fee, charge, or assessment changes, as well as any regulations that impose penalties or financial obligations. Additionally, the publication must reference a location within the township where the ordinance can be examined and provide a link to a publicly accessible website if available.

The bill also introduces new subsections that clarify the legal sufficiency of brief summaries in the event of a legal challenge, ensuring they meet the specified requirements. Furthermore, it states that these publication requirements do not override existing notification obligations under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, applying to all ordinances advertised after that date.
