In personal income tax, providing for contributions for grants to fire companies and emergency medical services companies.

Introduced·2/3/25
Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB211 allows taxpayers to contribute to grants for fire companies and emergency medical services through their state income tax returns.

Pennsylvania SB211 amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to include a checkoff option on state income tax returns for contributions to grants for fire companies and emergency medical services. Starting with tax years ending after December 31, 2025, taxpayers can designate a contribution of at least one dollar, which will be deducted from their tax refund. The Department of Revenue will report the total contributions annually to the State Treasurer, who will transfer the funds to a restricted account for grant distribution by the Office of State Fire Commissioner.
