SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Adoption of ordinances related to criminal laws of the Commonwealth. Provides that any locality adopting an ordinance that parallels criminal laws of the Commonwealth shall, in the ordinance, incorporate by reference the appropriate Code section of the parallel state statute. In such localities, if an individual is charged with or cited for a violation of a local ordinance that parallels a criminal law of the Commonwealth, any summons or warrant issued to the individual shall include a reference to the Code section of the parallel state statute. Localities are not required to readopt ordinances heretofore validly adopted. Failure to include a reference to the Code section of the parallel state statute shall not be grounds for dismissal of the summons or warrant.
