Bill > SB441

This bill modifies the tax treatment of table games in Pennsylvania by changing how tax revenues from table games are deposited. Specifically, the bill redirects the tax revenue from table games from the General Fund to the Property Tax Relief Fund, which is designed to help reduce property tax burdens for residents. The bill also includes a targeted repeal of a specific provision in the Tax Reform Code of 1971 that might conflict with this new tax allocation method. This means that taxes collected from table games in casinos will now be specifically earmarked for property tax relief instead of being deposited into the state's general operating budget. The change will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving state agencies time to adjust their accounting and revenue allocation processes. The bill represents a strategic shift in using gambling-related tax revenues to provide more direct financial relief to Pennsylvania property owners.
