MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 11, 2017 02:44 PM
From: Representative David M. Maloney, Sr.
To: All House members
Subject: Reimbursement for Legal Fees - First Class Township
 
In the near future I plan on introducing legislation amending the First Class Township Code. Currently the First Class Township Code allows an individual to take a municipality to court to challenge the constitutionality of an ordinance. My legislation would expand this to allow an individual to challenge bylaws, rules and regulations implemented by a municipality in court. My legislation also gives the individual challenging the ordinance the ability to be reimbursement for any legal costs incurred should the court find that the municipality violated the law and enacted an unconstitutional ordinance or regulation
