Plain-English Summary

This rule suspends one statutory provision. Section 213 of the Act approved March 10, 1949, P. L. 30, Art. II, 24 P. S. § 2-213, is suspended in accordance with Article V, Section 10(c) of the Constitution of 1968. The Official Note explains that the section relates to actions by and against school districts and to service upon school districts.

The suspension is not limited to one subject, the way Rule 2350 limits its suspension to intervention. School districts are political subdivisions under Rule 76, so this chapter’s rules on the style of action, Rule 2102(b), and on venue, Rule 2103(b), reach them. Rule 2123 is the chapter’s savings clause for the venue statutes it describes.

The rule was adopted in 1946 and amended by the order of June 3, 1994, effective July 1, 1994.
