HB 2688 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in taxation and finance, further providing for township and special tax levies.

This bill allows second-class townships in Pennsylvania to vote on adding a new local tax to fund their police departments. Under the proposed changes, a township board of supervisors can place a referendum on the ballot to approve an annual tax of up to three mills on real property. If voters approve the measure, the collected funds would be used specifically to support the local police force. The tax would be collected in cash and would become effective 60 days after the bill is passed.
