HARRISBURG, APRIL 2 – State Rep. Joe Ciresi and Rep. Liz Hanbidge, both D-Montgomery, today announced that they will introduce a bill that would require counties, municipalities, and school districts to give their taxpayers an additional 60 days to pay their property taxes. “During these uncertain times, it’s best to put our taxpayers at ease in any way we can," Ciresi said. "This ensures that they are protected and given additional leeway to pay their property taxes before penalties can be imposed. They have enough to worry about already. Let’s not add an unnecessary burden to our working families.” “The legislature is working hard to craft proposals to help Pennsylvanians navigate the issues caused by COVID-19 and help them stay safe, healthy, and solvent,” Hanbidge said. “ Given the level of financial uncertainty facing many Pennsylvanians during this pandemic, we hope to alleviate some of the financial stress on them by offering temporary property tax relief." This bill would also temporarily waive the statutory requirement that tax collectors must hold office hours during the last two weeks of the discount period, as enforcing such laws would be putting others’ health and safety at risk. Both the federal and state personal income tax deadlines have been moved back to July 15. The lawmakers said similar taxes should follow along with Read more

HARRISBURG, Feb. 27 – State Rep. Liz Hanbidge today lauded the approval of $240,000 in School Safety and Security grants for North Penn School District, Wissahickon School District and North Montco Technical Career Center. The School Safety and Security Committee established within the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency approved $60 million in safety grants across the commonwealth. “These grants will greatly enhance our schools’ ability to protect students through improved security measures and the promotion of trauma-informed services,” said Hanbidge, D-Montgomery. “Only by providing the resources necessary to expand programs and increase the staff dedicated to student wellness can we ensure that our children are safest in their educational environments.” The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency receives hundreds of applications for the School Safety and Security Grant Program . The School Safety and Security Committee approved 524 grants Wednesday. Funds will be used for performing school safety assessments; purchasing security-related technology and equipment; supporting school safety-related and behavioral-health trainings; preparing all-hazards plans; hiring school resource officers, school police officers, school counselors, social workers and school psychologists; and providing for trauma-informed approaches to education.
