101 Pa. Code § 17.47 - Preamble
(a)
General. Some resolutions and citations begin with a preamble
which is usually divided into several paragraphs, each of which may, but does
not necessarily begin with the word "WHEREAS," which, when used, is always
written in capital letters. Each paragraph of the preamble concludes with a
semicolon immediately followed by the word "and." The last paragraph of the
preamble concludes with a semicolon, even though it is the end of a complete
sentence, and is immediately followed by the words, "therefore be it" with no
punctuation.
(b)
Citations. Citations and congratulatory or condolence
resolutions vary from the form of other resolutions in that the preamble
usually contains one "WHEREAS" at the beginning and the last paragraph
concludes with a period.
