Section 58303-A - Recording and proof
(a)Recording.--All township ordinances and all township resolutions pertaining to tax levies shall, within thirty days after enactment, be recorded by the township secretary in an ordinance book. A failure to record within the time provided shall not be deemed a defect in the process of enactment of the ordinance or resolution pertaining to a tax levy. The ordinance book shall be open to the inspection of citizens during normal business hours.
(b)Proof.--All ordinances may be proved by the certificate of the township secretary under the corporate seal. If an ordinance is printed or published in book or pamphlet form by the authority of the township, the ordinance shall be accepted as evidence without further proof. The entry of the township ordinance in the ordinance book shall be sufficient without the signature of the president of the board of commissioners or other person.
(c)Prior ordinances.--The text of a township ordinance or a portion of an ordinance which was attached to the ordinance book before July 31, 1963, shall be considered in force as if the ordinances or portions of ordinances had been recorded directly upon the pages of the ordinance book if all other requirements of this act applicable to the enactment, approval, advertising and recording of the ordinances or portions of ordinances were complied with within the time limits prescribed under this act.
