AI Summary
This bill amends the Taxpayer Relief Act to expand the property tax and rent rebate program for senior citizens in Pennsylvania. The key changes are:
1) It extends the current property tax and rent rebate schedule through calendar year 2022, maintaining the existing base rebate amounts and supplemental rebate for those with property taxes exceeding 15% of household income (except for residents of certain cities and school districts).
2) Starting in 2023, it increases the base rebate amounts for property taxes and rent, with the maximum rebate rising from $650 to $1,300 for those with household incomes up to $15,000. The supplemental rebate for those with property taxes exceeding 15% of income is also continued.
The bill aims to provide additional financial assistance to eligible senior citizens in Pennsylvania by expanding the property tax and rent rebate program.
