An Act amending the act of June 27, 2006 (1st Sp.Sess., P.L.1873, No.1), known as the Taxpayer Relief Act, in taxation by school districts, repealing provisions relating to local tax study commission and to adoption of further referendum.
HB 1220 repeals two sections of Pennsylvania's Taxpayer Relief Act that required school districts to form a local tax study commission and hold public referendums before levying certain taxes. Specifically, it removes the requirement for school districts to create a commission to study tax policies and make nonbinding recommendations (Section 331) and eliminates the need for voter approval via referendum before imposing earned income or personal income taxes (Section 332). This bill directly affects Pennsylvania school districts by simplifying their tax levy process, as they will no longer need to conduct the study or seek referendum approval for these specific tax types. The repeal streamlines administrative steps without altering the tax authority itself.
