Continuing existence of the State Real Estate Commission scheduled for termination under Sunset Act.

WHEREAS, Section 6(a) of the act of December 22, 1981 (P. L. 508, No. 142), known as the Sunset Act, provides that the State Real Estate Commission shall terminate on December 31, 1984; and

WHEREAS, Section 7(b) of that act provides that, unless legislation is enacted prior to November 1 reestablishing an agency, the presiding officer of each House shall cause to be placed on their respective calendars for the first legislative day in November, the question, in the form of a resolution, of whether an agency scheduled for termination on December 31 of that year shall be continued; and

WHEREAS, Section 7(b) further provides that, if a majority of the members elected to each House approve the resolution prior to the scheduled termination date of December 31, the agency shall be continued until the next review and termination cycle scheduled for the agency; and

WHEREAS, Under the authority of section 4(4) the Sunset Leadership Committee postponed the termination date of the State Real Estate Commission from December 31, 1983, to April 30, 1984; and

WHEREAS, In view of the postponement of the termination date of the State Real Estate Commission it appears that the time for action date of November 1, 1983, is extended by implication to March 1, 1984; and

WHEREAS, Legislation reestablishing the State Real Estate Commission has not been enacted prior to March 1, 1984, and it is desirable that the agency continue in existence; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the State Real Estate Commission continue in existence until the next review and termination cycle scheduled for the agency.
