H.B 1667, A03972- Digital Advertising Tax- Senate Amendment Vote (27/23) (6/25/2026)
Summary
HB 1678 would impose a 5% gross receipts tax on the sale of digital advertising within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The PA Chamber opposes this proposal as it will disproportionately fall on Pennsylvania’s small businesses, violates basic principles of sound tax policy, and will end up in costly litigation.
PA Chamber's Position: Support
H.B 1667, A03974- Combined Reporting- Senate Amendment Vote (27/23) (6/25/2026)
Amendment A03974 would require mandatory unitary combined reporting for the Corporate Net Income Tax. The PA Chamber opposes Unitary Combined Reporting: it would significantly increase the cost and complexity of filing tax returns; add complexity for groups that include entities subject to special apportionment or different taxes; and lead to an increase in tax appeals and litigation. It would also create a specific disincentive for multi-state firms to do business in Pennsylvania and increase the uncertainty of tax collection forecasts.
H.B 1667, A03969- Repealing Sales Tax Exemption for Data Centers- Senate Amendment Vote (47/3) (6/25/2026)
Amendment 03969 would repeal Pennsylvania's Sales and Use Tax exemption for qualifying data center computer equipment, reversing a bipartisan incentive enacted in 2021 to attract long-term investment. Repealing the exemption after companies have made investment decisions based on existing law creates a legislative bait-and-switch, undermines confidence in the Commonwealth's reliability, and sends a message that Pennsylvania's economic development commitments can change after the fact.
PA Chamber's Position: Oppose
H.B 1667, A03975- EITC Increase- Senate Amendment Vote (29/21) (6/25/2026)
Amendment 03975 would increase the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program cap, allowing additional businesses to receive tax credits for contributions that support scholarships and innovative educational programs. Increasing the cap would expand educational opportunities for students and families while helping meet longstanding demands from businesses seeking to participate in this successful public-private partnership.
SB 1279 Housing Development Regulatory Compliance Officer- House Final Passage (30/20) (6/3/2026)
S.B. 1279 builds upon the Commonwealth's historic permitting reform efforts over the past several years by bringing greater accountability, transparency, and predictability to the permitting process specifically for housing development. By establishing clear review timelines, improving coordination among agencies, allowing the use of qualified third-party reviewers, and creating a Commonwealth Housing Regulatory Compliance Officer, the bill helps ensure that housing projects can move through the regulatory process more efficiently. Increasing housing supply is critical to workforce recruitment & retention, economic growth, and Pennsylvania's long-term competitiveness, and we respectfully urge your support for S.B. 1279.
SB 1281 Pre-Approved Housing Plans- Senate Final Passage (50/0) (6/3/2026)
Pennsylvania's housing shortage is increasingly impacting employers' ability to attract and retain workers. Developers and builders often face local regulatory requirements and restrictions that increase costs, delay housing development, and in some cases can prevent certain projects from moving forward altogether. S.B. 1281 aims to address these challenges by reducing local regulatory barriers to housing development and creating more predictable approval pathways for a range of residential housing types. By allowing certain housing projects to proceed with fewer procedural hurdles and encouraging the use of pre-approved housing plans, the bill can help increase housing supply, lower development costs, and encourage investment in much-needed housing across the Commonwealth.
