Pennsylvania SB791 amends school district tax rates for districts spanning multiple counties or municipalities.

Pennsylvania SB791 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to adjust tax rates for school districts that lie in more than one county or municipality. It allows school directors to set a uniform tax rate across the district, ensuring the ratio of total taxes to the most recent state valuation remains consistent. The bill also provides options for districts to choose the lowest assessed value to market value ratio or use county assessments if located in a home rule county. This change aims to simplify tax rate setting for multi-jurisdictional school districts.
