§ 15.71. Retroactivity clause.

 (a)  Use. If a statute is to apply retroactively, it is necessary to include a provision to achieve this effect. The act (1 Pa.C.S. §  1926) provides that no statute shall be construed to be retroactive unless clearly and manifestly so intended by the General Assembly.

 ‘‘This act shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to January 1, 1973.’’
