Bill > SB781

This bill provides for the creation of "Keystone Opportunity Dairy Zones" in Pennsylvania to facilitate the economic development of the state's dairy industry. The bill authorizes the Department of Community and Economic Development to designate up to 30 such zones, which will provide tax exemptions, deductions, abatements, and credits to residents and qualified businesses within the zones for a period of up to 10 years. The bill also requires local governments to provide corresponding local tax relief and creates additional obligations and duties for state and local departments and officials. The goal is to support the long-term viability of dairy farming in Pennsylvania.
