                 Act of Jul. 30, 1963, P.L. 362, No. 193              Cl. 71
                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing an incoming Governor to arrange for temporary
        staffing to expedite the transition of government, providing
        authority for appropriations to an outgoing Governor for
        certain expenses and providing for appropriations in certain
        years. (Title amended Dec. 19, 1986, P.L.1741, No.211)

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  In order that there may be an orderly, efficient
     and economical transition of government following the election
     of a new Governor, the Auditor General, in the fiscal year
     during which a new Governor is elected, shall employ such
     consultants, accountants and experts as shall have been selected
     in writing by the new Governor who is hereby authorized to fix
     the compensation to be paid such personnel. Such notice to the
     Auditor General shall be given at any time after the Secretary
     of the Commonwealth and the Auditor General have determined the
     person receiving the highest number of votes for the office of
     Governor and have informed the new Governor-elect of such
     determination. Since this personnel is to be engaged for a
     limited period of time, they shall not be eligible for
     membership in any of the retirement systems of the Commonwealth,
     nor shall they be bound by or subject to the provisions of "The
     Administrative Code of 1929," pertaining to State employes. Such
     personnel shall be paid from an appropriation made to the
     Auditor General during the fiscal year when the new Governor is
     elected. Within thirty days after his inauguration the new
     Governor shall dispense with the services of the temporary
     personnel or place such members thereof as he sees fit on the
     payroll of the Commonwealth in the manner provided by "The
     Administrative Code of 1929."
        (1 amended Dec. 19, 1986, P.L.1741, No.211)
        Section 1.1.  In order to facilitate the transition of
     government following the inauguration of a new Governor, the
     General Assembly is authorized to make appropriations for the
     security and other expenses of the outgoing Governor for a
     period of time following the inauguration of the new Governor
     not to exceed six months. This appropriation shall be made to
     the Auditor General.
        (1.1 added Dec. 19, 1986, P.L.1741, No.211)
        Section 2.  This act shall take effect November 1, 1963.
