4 Pa.C.S. | Title 4 — Amusements

4 Pa.C.S. — Pennsylvania General Assembly — Legislative Data Processing Center.

Enactment. Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of Title 4 were added July 5, 2004, P.L.572, No.71, effective immediately.

Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes only. Pennsylvania statutory law is published in two parts: the consolidated titles collected here (cited e.g. 18 Pa.C.S. § 2502), and the unconsolidated session laws that have never been consolidated (cited e.g. 35 P.S. § 780-113), which are published separately at https://www.palegis.us/statutes/unconsolidated and are only partially online. This corpus is therefore not the whole of Pennsylvania statutory law.
