This bill amends the state's tax code to create new deductions and tax credits related to health and fitness for military personnel. Businesses that offer free fitness facility memberships to active duty military, Pennsylvania National Guard, or reserve component members can deduct these costs from their taxable income. Additionally, these qualified military individuals can claim a personal health investment tax credit of up to $600 annually for their own sports and fitness expenses, such as gym memberships or participation fees. These changes will apply to taxable years commencing after December 31, 2024.
