Regola Bill Would End Conflicts of Interest
Would bar elected officials from serving on
municipal authorities
As part of his ongoing reform efforts, Senator Bob Regola (R-39) is
introducing a bill that would bar elected officials from serving on municipal
authorities.
"Simply put, there is no way that one person can serve on two different
municipal boards without conflicts of interests arising," said Senator Regola,
Chairman of the Senate Local Government Committee. "No matter how
well-intentioned or civic minded a person may be, there are going to be times
when he or she will find themselves in the difficult position of deciding
between the best interest of the municipality and the authority. My bill will
end that once and for all."
The Third Class City Code currently contains a similar prohibition. Senator
Regola's legislation would apply to all types of municipalities.
