     § 1104.  Printing of amendatory statutes.
        (a)  General rule.--The Director of the Legislative Reference
     Bureau shall, in printing amendatory statutes, cause to be
     printed the section or part of the statute only as reenacted.
     Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, in the
     section or part of the law reenacted, the Director shall cause
     to be printed between brackets, the words, phrases, or
     provisions of the existing statute, if any, which have been
     stricken out or eliminated by the adoption of the amendment, and
     he shall cause to be printed in italics or with underscoring all
     new words, phrases or provisions, if any, which have been
     inserted into or added to the statute by the passage of such
     amendment.
        (b)  Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.--In printing as much
     of any statute as adds an entire title, part, article, chapter,
     subchapter or other major subdivision to the Pennsylvania
     Consolidated Statutes, the Director shall cause such addition to
     be printed in Roman type without underscoring, and in printing
     as much of any statute as deletes or repeals an entire title,
     part, article, chapter, subchapter or other major subdivision of
     the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, the Director shall not
     cause to be printed the provisions which have been deleted or
     repealed unless the deletion or repeal was effected by the use
     of brackets.
