AI Summary

  • Amends Title 8 (Boroughs and Incorporated Towns) and Title 11 (Cities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish a firm June 30 deadline for completing annual audits, replacing the previous "as soon as possible after the end of the fiscal year" language.

  • Requires financial information to be published in a newspaper of general circulation at least 10 days prior to the June council meeting, with copies available for public examination.
