Bill > SB665

This bill amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to provide a space on the Pennsylvania individual income tax return form where individuals can contribute to grant programs administered by the Office of State Fire Commissioner for fire companies and emergency medical services companies. The contributions will reduce the taxpayer's refund and the total amount designated, less administrative costs, will be transferred to a restricted revenue account within the General Fund to fund these grants. The Department of Revenue will provide information about the contribution option in the tax return instructions, and the Office of State Fire Commissioner will report annually on the amount received and how the funds were utilized.
