(P.L.323, No.130), known as The County Code, is amended by
adding a subsection to read:
Section 401. Enumeration of Elected Officers.--* * *
(f) The office of jury commissioner may be abolished in a
county which, on January 1, 2011, was a county of the fourth
class having a population under the 2000 decennial census in
excess of 210,000 and having retained its classification from
the preceding decade as a result of the board of county
commissioners not having elected by ordinance or resolution to
advance its classification, if the governing body of the county
adopts, by a majority vote, a resolution abolishing the office
of jury commissioner. Upon approval of the resolution, the
office of jury commissioner shall expire at the completion of
the current jury commissioners' terms of office. The resolution
shall not be passed in any year in which the office of jury
commissioner is on the ballot.
Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
