An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in Pennsylvania Economic Development for a Growing Economy (PA EDGE) Tax Credits, providing for Pennsylvania space economy.
SB 986 amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code of 1971 to create a new tax credit under the PA EDGE economic development program specifically for businesses in the space economy. This provision would allow eligible space industry companies - such as those involved in satellite manufacturing, launch services, or space-related research - to claim tax credits for job creation and capital investments within Pennsylvania. The credits would reduce these businesses' state income tax liability, aiming to incentivize growth in the state's emerging space sector. The bill is currently referred to the Finance committee for further review.
