An Act amending Title 15 (Corporations and Unincorporated Associations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to corporation bureau and UCC fees, further providing for fee schedule; and, in incorporation, providing for exemption from certain fees and solicitation requirements for volunteer fire companies.
HB 1084 amends Pennsylvania's fee structure for corporate filings under Title 15, specifically adjusting the corporation bureau's fee schedule for business registrations and UCC filings. It directly exempts volunteer fire companies from paying certain fees and from solicitation requirements typically applied to new corporations. The bill streamlines administrative processes for these organizations by removing financial barriers related to incorporation and business filings. This change applies to all volunteer fire companies operating within Pennsylvania under the state's corporate statutes.
