An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in tax credit and tax benefit administration, further providing for definitions; and establishing the employer blood donation tax credit.
HB 2170 creates a new employer blood donation tax credit in Pennsylvania. It allows employers who provide paid time off for employees to donate blood at nonprofit-organized blood drives to claim a $20 tax credit per verified donation. The credit applies to tax years 2025 through 2029 and can be used against state income tax, but it cannot reduce tax below zero and is capped at $500,000 total annually. This policy directly affects employers who partner with nonprofit blood banks to host blood drives for their employees.
