Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes
Chapter 63 - Enforcement
Section 6301 - Prosecutions under local ordinances superseded by title

Except for parking violations, when the same conduct is proscribed under this title and a local ordinance, the charge shall be brought under this title and not under the local ordinance. Prosecutions brought under any local ordinance, rule or regulation, which are based on a violation for which there is a specific penalty provided in this title, except for parking violations, shall be deemed as having been brought under this title and the assessment and disposition of the fines and forfeitures shall be so governed. Local ordinances relating to parking shall prescribe fines for violations and may authorize the payment of penalties in lieu of fines and costs under prescribed conditions.
(Nov. 9, 1977, P.L.226, No.69, eff. imd; Apr. 28, 1978, P.L.202, No.53, eff. 60 days)

1978 Amendment. Act 53 overlooked the amendment by Act 69 of 1977, but the amendments do not conflict in substance and have both been given effect in setting forth the text of the section.
