     § 7512.  Law applicable to local organizations.
        (a)  General rule.--Where the jurisdiction of the local
     organization is coterminous with the political subdivision
     making an appropriation for the payment of the expenses, the
     local organization shall be deemed an agency, board or
     commission of the political subdivision, subject to all of the
     laws governing the making of contracts or purchases, the
     employment of persons or otherwise incurring financial
     obligations which apply to the political subdivision.
        (b)  Second class townships.--No purchase or purchases shall
     be made, no contract entered into and no expenses incurred by
     any local organization which involves the payment of more than
     $25 out of the treasury of any second class township unless the
     proposed expenditure has been approved in writing by the
     township supervisors. If any purchase or contract is made or
     other expenses incurred contrary to the provisions of this
     subsection, the township shall not be responsible for the
     payment thereof but the person acting for the local organization
     in the transaction shall be personally liable for the payment.
