AI Summary
This bill introduces several tax-related provisions focused on supporting military personnel and promoting fitness activities. Specifically, the bill creates a tax deduction for fitness facilities that provide free or discounted memberships to qualified individuals, which include active-duty military personnel, Pennsylvania National Guard members, and reserve component armed forces members. The bill also establishes a new Personal Health Investment Tax Credit that allows qualifying individuals to claim up to $600 per year in tax credits for sports and fitness expenses, such as fitness facility memberships, physical exercise programs, and related equipment. The tax credit can be applied directly against the taxpayer's tax liability but cannot be carried over, refunded, sold, or transferred. Importantly, these provisions will only apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. The bill aims to provide financial incentives for fitness and support for military service members by offering tax benefits to both fitness facilities and qualifying individuals. The Department of Revenue will be responsible for publishing guidelines and creating regulations to implement these new tax provisions.
