Memo
This is a technical corrective re-draft of House Bill 691.
 
In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation that would amend the Taxpayer Relief Act of 2006 by increasing the maximum income limit for Property Tax Rent Rebates for renters from $15,000 to $20,000. 
 
Many low-income Pennsylvanians are unable to benefit from the program due to the prohibitively low income threshold they must meet in order to qualify as a claimant.  This minor change will provide much needed financial assistance to some of the most vulnerable citizens of our Commonwealth.
 
Please join me in supporting this legislation.
