                                  AN ACT

     Requiring political subdivisions to satisfy of record at their
        expense certain lost liens for taxes and municipal claims
        against real property sold at sheriffs' sales or county tax
        claim bureaus' public sales, under certain conditions.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  Whenever any real property has been or is
     hereafter sold at a sheriff's sale by virtue of any writ of
     execution issued from any court in this Commonwealth, or at a
     public sale for taxes held by a county tax claim bureau, at
     which sale sufficient proceeds have been or are realized to pay
     all tax liens and municipal claims presented against the
     property, and a political subdivision has lost or hereafter
     loses its lien or liens for taxes and municipal claims, or
     either, on such property by virtue of not having filed or not
     filing same in the manner prescribed or within the time limited
     by law to participate in the distribution of the proceeds of
     such sale, and whenever the purchaser at such sale or any
     subsequent purchaser furnishes proof to the political
     subdivision that it has lost any such lien or liens, the
     political subdivision involved shall satisfy of record any such
     lien or liens at its expense.
