HARRISBURG – Rep. Joe Hogan (R-Bucks) recently announced two pieces of legislation to help Pennsylvania citizens with the increasing energy prices throughout the Commonwealth.
The first piece of legislation would allow Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) claimants to deduct the money spent on utilities, such as electricity, water and natural gas bills, from their income when claiming a rebate. This would result in more people qualifying for the PTRR or larger rebates.
The second piece of legislation also adds an energy element to the PTRR, by creating a new supplemental rebate to help claimants with energy costs. Claimants would be eligible to receive up to $250 for any qualified energy costs accrued the previous year.
“Energy costs are through the roof, and they are becoming an increasing burden on the hardworking people of Pennsylvania,” said Hogan. “While these proposals aren’t going to solve the underlying issues pushing our energy bills higher, it will provide relief for many in our community and across Pennsylvania.”
Both pieces of legislation are awaiting official introduction by Hogan.
