Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compilation of the Laws Relating to Trades, Occupations and Professions
This compilation is prepared under the provisions of the Act of May 3, 1917, P. L. 155, which authorizes the Legislative Reference Bureau to continue the work commenced by it under the provisions of the Act of May 20, 1913.
This publication was prompted by the numerous requests which the Bureau receives requesting the statute law relative to a particular trade, occupation or profession.
In preparing this compilation great difficulty was experienced to ascertain just which subjects were to be included. In several in stances acts have been included which do not relate to any particular trade, occupation or profession, but tend rather to regulate business. In other instances acts have been included which may be of interest to the particular trade, occupation or profession. As a general rule the material has been restricted to the law on trades, occupations and professions in their private capacity, and does not include public em ployments, whether on behalf of the Commonwealth or any municipal subdivision. Consequently, no acts have been included relative to health, stream and safety inspectors, foresters, game and fish wardens, criers, tipstaves, health officers, constables, borough man agers, etc. The chapters on Detectives and Police Officers do not include the law relative to such as are publicly employed, but private detectives and private police officers only. The subjects of miners, mine inspectors, stevedores, and pilots have also been omitted; the first two for the reason that it would necessitate the publishing of the entire anthracite and bituminous mine codes, which have already been published by the Department of Mines, and the subjects of pilots and stevedores for the reason that they are confined to the river Delaware, are local in character, and not of interest generally to the citizens of the Commonwealth.
This compilation does not contain any local or special legislation. To ascertain the local or special laws on any subject the reader is referred to Price's Index to Local Legislation in Pennsylvania.
