Compiler's Note: Section 7 of Act 50 of 2009 provided that section 202 is repealed insofar as it is inconsistent with Act 50.
Compiler's Note: Section 301(a)(16) of Act 58 of 1996, which created the Department of Community and Economic Development and abolished the Department of Community Affairs, provided that all other powers and duties delegated to the Department of Community Affairs not otherwise expressly transferred elsewhere by Act 58 and currently performed by the Department of Community Affairs under section 202 are transferred from the Department of Community Affairs to the Department of Community and Economic Development.
Section 701 of Act 58 of 1996 provided that the Board of Property is hereby placed and made a departmental administrative board in the Department of Community and Economic Development.
Compiler's Note: The Department of Commerce was renamed the Department of Community and Economic Development by Act 58 of 1996.
Compiler's Note: Section 31.1 of Act 57 of 1996 provided that any reference in a statute to the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board shall be deemed a reference to the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board.
Compiler's Note: The Department of Environmental Resources was abolished by Act 18 of 1995. Its functions were transferred to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Protection.
Compiler's Note: Section 3101(b) of Act 28 of 1989 provided that section 202 is repealed insofar as it relates to the State Athletic Commission.
Compiler's Note: Section 1 of Reorganization Plan No.1 of 1982 provided that the functions, powers and duties of the Department of Commerce with regard to the Navigation Commission for the Delaware River and its navigable tributaries are transferred to the Department of State and the functions, powers and duties of the commission with regard to the regulation, review and approval of dams, water obstructions and encroachments are transferred to the Department of Environmental Resources.

Section 3 of Reorganization Plan No.6 of 1981 provided that section 202 is suspended insofar as it conflicts with Reorganization Plan No.6.
Compiler's Note: Section 2 of Act 283 of 1978 provided that section 202 is repealed insofar as it relates to the Board of Trustess of the Pennsylvania Soldiers' and Sailors' Home and the Board of Trustees of Hollidaysburg Veterans' Home. Without amendment to The Administrative Code, advisory councils for each veterans' home operated by the Commonwealth were created by Act 283. Such councils were not specifically placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of Military Affairs or the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
Compiler's Note: Section 3 of Act 275 of 1970 incorrectly refers to the State Board for Certification of Sewage Treatment and Waterworks Operators. The correct name is the State Board for Certification of Sewage Treatment Plant and Waterworks Operators.
Compiler's Note: Sections 2 and 3 of Act 120 of 1970, which amended section 202, overlooked the former Department of Highways paragraph containing the State Highway Commission. The clear intent of Act 120 was to abolish the Department of Highways, replace it with the Department of Transportation and to change the name of the State Highway Commission to the State Transportation Commission.
Compiler's Note: The Advisory Council on Affairs of the Handicapped in the Department of Labor and Industry is in fact an advisory agency and should not be included in section 202.
