An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in sales and use tax, further providing for discount.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code to provide a financial discount to businesses that file sales and use tax returns and pay their taxes on time. The discount is calculated based on the amount of tax collected, with specific dollar amounts per return depending on whether the business files monthly, quarterly, or semiannually, or a percentage of the total tax collected. Directly affecting licensed tax collectors, the measure serves as compensation for the costs of collecting and remitting taxes. The law will become effective 60 days after it is signed into law.

An Act amending the act of June 23, 1993 (P.L.128, No.29), known as the Plain Language Consumer Contract Act, further providing for definitions and providing for enforceability of standardized terms in form contracts.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Pennsylvania's Plain Language Consumer Contract Act to clarify definitions and strengthen protections for consumers signing standardized form contracts. It establishes that specific terms in these contracts are unenforceable if they would materially alter a consumer's legal rights or obligations, such as waiving intellectual property rights, limiting liability, or forcing exclusive use of a merchant's services. Courts will evaluate factors like consumer awareness and the nature of the transaction to determine if a term is unfair, while also noting that simply signing a document does not prove a consumer understood these standardized clauses. The changes apply to all new consumer contracts in the state, whether signed on paper or electronically, taking effect 60 days after enactment.
