SB 1132 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 24, 1931 (P.L.1206, No.331), known as The First Class Township Code, in finance and taxation, further providing for tax levies.

This law allows first-class townships to use up to one mill of their property tax revenue to pay salaries and benefits for fire suppression employees. The township board of commissioners can choose to set aside half of this tax revenue for these purposes, though they have the option to waive this limit if needed. This change directly affects the financial management of fire services in these specific municipalities by providing a dedicated funding source.
