Pennsylvania HB1875 amends tax levies for first-class townships, setting maximum rates and requiring voter approval for higher rates.

Pennsylvania HB1875 modifies the tax levies for first-class townships, specifically setting the maximum tax rate for supporting ambulance and rescue squads at five mills.

This provision does not apply to eligible townships as defined in "The Fiscal Code." The changes will take effect 60 days after the act's passage.
