Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), entitled "An act relating to tax reform and State taxation by codifying and enumerating certain subjects of taxation and imposing taxes thereon; providing procedures for the payment, collection, administration and enforcement thereof; providing for tax credits in certain cases; conferring powers and imposing duties upon the Department of Revenue, certain employers, fiduciaries, individuals, persons, corporations and other entities; prescribing crimes, offenses and penalties," in Public Transportation Assistance Fund, further providing for Public Transportation Assistance Fund.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to modify the Public Transportation Assistance Fund (PTAF) by increasing certain motor vehicle rental taxes and fees. Specifically, the bill raises the additional tax on motor vehicle leases from 3% to 5% of the total lease price, increases the daily rental fee from $2 to $6.50 for standard vehicle rentals, and adjusts the fee structure for car-sharing and peer-to-peer car-sharing rentals. For car-sharing rentals, the bill changes the fee for rentals of 6 hours or more from $2 to $6.50, and introduces tiered fees for shorter rental intervals ranging from $0.25 to $1.25 depending on the duration. The bill also modifies language about how funds in the Public Transportation Assistance Fund can be used, replacing a specific reference to distribution guidelines with a more general phrase "as provided by law". The changes are designed to generate additional revenue for public transportation assistance, and the bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
