This bill makes comprehensive changes to Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code by creating new consumer-focused tax benefits while restructuring utility taxation and economic development incentives. The bill establishes annual sales tax holidays for school supplies (up to $50/item) and computers/devices (up to $1,500) during a three-week August window, creates a $7 million annual transfer to the Alternative Fuels Incentive Fund beginning in fiscal year 2026-2027, and restructures the gross receipts tax on electric utilities with a July 1, 2026 sunset date while requiring utilities to pass tax reductions through to consumers via reduced surcharges or face civil penalties of $1,000-$5,000. The bill also expands educational scholarship program definitions by adding detailed income eligibility thresholds, disability criteria, and school classification standards including a new "economically disadvantaged school" designation for institutions where at least 51% of students received program scholarships, while establishing a base household income threshold of $90,000 plus allowances and defining numerous income exclusions for purposes of determining student eligibility.
