Chapter 81 - Preliminary Provisions
8103 - Construction of part.

     § 8103.  Construction of part.
        (a)  General rule.--The provisions of this part in so far as
     they are the same as those of existing law are intended as a
     continuation of such laws and not as new enactments. The
     provisions of this part shall not affect any act done, liability
     incurred, right accrued or vested, or any suit or prosecution
     pending or to be instituted to enforce any right or penalty or
     to punish any offense under the authority of any repealed laws.
        (b)  Construction of part with regard to older workers
     protection.--It is hereby found and declared that the provisions
     of this part constitute a bona fide retirement or pension plan
     within the meaning of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
     of 1967 (Public Law 90-202, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq.) and the act
     of October 27, 1955 (P.L.744, No.222), known as the Pennsylvania
     Human Relations Act. Any provision of this part which is not
     inconsistent with the provisions of the Age Discrimination in
     Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit
     Protection Act (Public Law 101-433, 104 Stat. 978) and the rules
     and regulations of the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity
     Commission under such Federal laws shall be deemed not
     inconsistent with such provisions of the Pennsylvania Human
     Relations Act as relate to discrimination on the basis of age
     with respect to the terms, conditions or privileges of
     employment.
