An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for classes of income.
HB 1001 exempts compensation received from the Federal or State Government or Jet Rescue Air Ambulance (or its agent) related to the Med Jets Flight 056 crash (January 31, 2025, in Philadelphia) from Pennsylvania personal income tax. This bill directly affects individuals who received such payments due to the crash, making that compensation non-taxable under the state's tax code. The key provision adds a specific exception to the Tax Reform Code of 1971, removing this income from taxable categories. The exemption applies only to payments tied to this single, specific incident.
