HB 2536 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for exemptions and special provisions.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to prevent local taxing authorities in Pennsylvania from raising their property tax millage rates to fund special real property tax provisions. The change directly affects local governments and property owners by restricting how these entities can adjust tax rates for specific property-related programs. By inserting a new clause into the existing text, the legislation ensures that any special tax provisions cannot be financed through an increase in the standard property tax rate. This measure aims to limit the ability of local officials to modify tax structures for these specific purposes without additional legislative approval.
