An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in taxation and finance, further providing for township and special tax levies.

This bill allows second-class townships to levy a special annual tax of up to three mills to fund fire protection services. The revenue can be used to buy and maintain fire equipment, build facilities for housing it, support local and outside fire companies, and train personnel. Townships may use up to one mill of this tax to pay salaries and benefits for their own fire suppression employees, though they can choose to waive this limit. If a township wants to collect more than three mills in taxes for these purposes, the plan must be approved by a vote of the township's residents.
