SB 1445: An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, providing for the Pennsylvania Learning Investment Tax Credit Program.

Pennsylvania SB 1445 establishes the Learning Investment Tax Credit Program, which provides a refundable tax credit of $8,000 per child for qualified education expenses. The program is available to parents or legal guardians with annual incomes up to 300% of the area median gross income who have school-age children not enrolled in public schools. Eligible expenses include private school tuition, textbooks, tutoring, educational software, and standardized test fees. The total amount of credits awarded is capped at $300 million per fiscal year, with a mechanism to increase this cap by 25% if the previous year's usage reaches 90% of the limit.

SB 1421: An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to traffic-control devices, providing for automated road safety monitoring systems.

Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1421 authorizes municipalities to install automated cameras in school zones to enforce traffic laws, specifically targeting failures to stop at signs or yield to pedestrians. The bill imposes a $50 fine on the registered vehicle owner rather than the driver, with a mandatory 30-day warning period before fines are issued. It requires that all revenue generated from these fines be reinvested into local road safety projects, such as sidewalk improvements and traffic signal upgrades. Additionally, the legislation mandates strict privacy protections, including the blurring of pedestrian faces in images and prohibiting the use of camera data for general surveillance or sale to third parties.
