The study being conducted by the Council was established by House Joint Resolution No. 135, copy attached. This resolution requires a report to be filed no later than November 1, 1975. Due to certain recent developments in the Commonwealth, the Council deemed it advisable to make an interim report and recommendations concerning the removal of public officers from their positions.

There are now found in Titles 2.1, 15.1 and 24.l provisions relating to this subject. The Council recommends that such provisions be repealed, then amended and enacted as part of Title 24.1.
