The legislation, titled $250 for America’s 250th Act, calls for the $250 checks to be funded by the overage of 2025-26 tax collections, which as of May, is almost $1 billion. According to U.S. Census Bureau information, there are 3.3 million families in the Commonwealth.

“On a long-term basis, if Harrisburg is collecting more than it needs, the General Assembly should be re-writing our antiquated tax laws and there are bills to do that,” Davanzo said. “But right now, as Pennsylvania families are finding higher prices on everything from utilities, gasoline and groceries, it makes perfect sense to return tax dollars to those who paid them in the first place.”

Healthcare

HARRISBURG – Recognizing the hardships brought on by the ongoing budget impasse are being extended to Pennsylvania families, Rep. Eric Davanzo (R-Westmoreland) is seeking legislation that would provide zero-interest loans for Pre-K Counts child care centers.

Davanzo’s proposal would authorize the Pennsylvania Department of Education to offer no-interest loans equal to the amount a Pre-K Counts provider would have received if the budget had been enacted timely. The funds’ only allowable usage would be student services and programs. Once a budget is signed into law, the loans would be repaid.

“Regrading education, this budget makes meaningful reforms by doubling resources through the Economically Disadvantaged Schools tax credit. The program provides scholarships to students whose schools are failing and enables them to attend a school of their choice.”

“First and foremost, the budget passed today pulls Pennsylvania out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which only ever served to spike electricity costs and chase jobs away to other states. The new budget also changes our environmental permitting system, which will make it easier to get new projects moving sooner. All of this will mean more competitive, family-sustaining jobs for our young people.”

"All too often, bureaucracy and red tape unnecessarily slows the permitting process, which drives up project costs, slows energy production and ultimately, punishes consumers," Davanzo said. "Permit reviewers and other regulators need to adopt an approach of working with applicants rather than working against them."

The legislative package, sponsored by Reps. Mike Armanini, Eric Davanzo, Jonathan Fritz, Joshua D. Kail, Dallas Kephart, Roman Kozak, Thomas Kutz, Kristin Marcell, Eric Nelson, David H. Rowe and Andrea Verobish, reflects a collaborative effort to strengthen Pennsylvania's energy future.
