Pennsylvania Regulations § 174.3 Commonwealth

Up to Chapter 174: Reports of Political Contributions

Regulation Text

(a) The term "Commonwealth" shall include all departments, bureaus, commissions, agencies or other offices of the executive, legislative or judicial branches of state government. Also included shall be those independent agencies or commissions like the General State Authority and the Turnpike Commission, since a great many nonbid contracts are awarded by these governmental bodies. In addition, municipal authorities have been held to be agencies or instrumentalities of the Commonwealth, and business entities contracting with such bodies must also file.
(b) Excluded, however, are any interstate authorities such as the Delaware River Port Authority and the Delaware River Basin Commission, since they are not solely Commonwealth bodies, and since representatives of other states would be in a position to oversee the award of any nonbid contracts.
