Compiler's Note: Section 1407-B was added by Act 80 of 2012. Act 80 of 2012 was declared unconstitutional on July 18, 2018, by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in Washington v. Commonwealth, Department of Public Welfare, 188 A.3d 1135 (Pa. 2018). In footnote 20 of its decision, the Supreme Court determined that Article XIV-B had been reenacted by Act 153 of 2016 and that its decision did not affect the validity of that reenactment.
