Proposed amendment to grant bonds for highways in Pennsylvania
The General Assembly proposes amending the constitution to allow bonds up to fifty million dollars to improve and rebuild the state's highways. Section four of article nine would be revised to permit such deficits and authorize bond issuance irrespective of existing debt, with the balance of the document detailing other constitutional provisions and the secretary's attestation.

Pennsylvania Joint Resolution Amendment to Article Three
A joint resolution seeks to amend Pennsylvania Constitution Article Three Section Seven to restrict local or special laws. It lists prohibited actions including creating or extending liens, regulating counties and cities, changing names, venue, road and bridge authority, cemeteries, adoption of children, county seats, charters, elections, divorces, school districts, and more. The proposal narrows the scope of authorizing special laws and reiterates limits on local legislation and governance.

Amendment to Pennsylvania Constitution Section Three
A concurrent resolution proposes changing how judges are elected and when terms begin. It states judges elected statewide may be chosen at general or municipal elections and that most judicial and local offices will be on municipal election day in odd-numbered years. It preserves a future provision for a different day by two thirds approval and extends current judges’ terms to the next even-numbered year.

Public debt provisions for public works in Pennsylvania
The text outlines that obligations by counties or municipalities other than Philadelphia to fund waterworks, subways, underground railways, or street railways shall not be considered city debt if five year net revenues cover interest and sinking funds or if secured by liens and no municipal liability results. Counties may issue debt for interest and sinking funds until project completion, with no tax requirement for that period. Additional indebtedness up to ten percent of assessed value may be allowed with three-fifths voter approval. A true copy of Joint Resolution No. 5. ROBERT McAFEE
