§ 723. Processing of deposited documents. (a) Review of deposited text.--The bureau, or a qualified contractor selected by the bureau with the approval of the joint committee, may review any or all documents deposited with the bureau before they are released for publication, and may prepare in active cooperation with an agency a revised text of any document relating to the administrative regulations of the agency which conforms fully to the format established for the code, which eliminates all obsolete, unnecessary or unauthorized material, which has been prepared in such a manner as to lend to the published code as a whole uniformity of style and clarity of expression, and which does not effect any change in the substance of the deposited text of such regulations. Whenever any such revised text with respect to each agency is prepared, two duplicate original copies thereof, with proof of service of a third copy thereof upon the executive officer, chairman or secretary of such agency, shall be filed by the bureau with the joint committee, and shall immediately be made available by the bureau for public inspection and copying. (b) Status of revised text.--Such revised text shall become the agency text of such regulations for the purposes of this part ten days after such filing unless, within such ten-day period, the agency shall file with the joint committee written objections to such revised text. In that event, the joint committee shall consult with the agency, shall make such alterations, if any, in such revised text as may be necessary in order to retain the substance of the deposited text of such regulations in a manner consistent with the standards of the code, and shall by order prescribe the text of such regulations which shall become the agency text thereof for the purposes of this part. Previously Filed Regulations. Section 6 of Act 160 of 1976 provided that, notwithstanding section 723(b), an agency may file written objections with the joint committee within 60 days after receiving the revised text of any regulations not previously published in the Pennsylvania Code which were filed in the Legislative Reference Bureau prior to the enactment of Act 160. Cross References. Section 723 is referred to in section 722 of this title.
