In the daily email of legislative activity yesterday, this bill caught my attention. No idea what incident(s), if any, inspired it, but we do need clear cut rules on this. HB 693 seeks to amend current regulations.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Section 905.2 of the act of August 5, 1941 (P.L. 752, No.286), known as the Civil Service Act, is amended by adding a subsection to read:
Section 905.2. Political Activity.--* * *
(d.1) Notwithstanding any other law, the following shall apply:
(1) A person holding elective public office at the time he or she becomes an employe in the classified service may continue to serve in that office.
(2) A person in the classified service may accept appointment to fill a vacancy in an elective public office while concurrently serving in the classified service.
(3) A person in the classified service holding an elective public office under paragraph (1) or (2) may not be a candidate for reelection to that elective public office in a partisan election.
