An Act amending the act of October 6, 1998 (P.L.705, No.92), known as the Keystone Opportunity Zone, Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone and Keystone Opportunity Improvement Zone Act, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; and, in keystone opportunity zones, further providing for qualified businesses.

HB 371 amends Pennsylvania's Keystone Opportunity Zone Act to add new requirements for businesses seeking tax exemptions, deductions, or credits. It directly affects businesses operating within designated Keystone zones that make capital investments exceeding $25,000 for construction, reconstruction, or facility repairs. The key provision mandates that 70% of workers on such projects must be "skilled craft laborers" (defined as those with relevant training or apprenticeship completion), and all workers must receive the state-mandated prevailing wage rate. Businesses must verify these requirements annually through the Department of Labor and Industry, enforcing existing Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act standards for qualifying projects.
