BREAKING: Senators Chris Gebhard (R‑48) and Doug Mastriano (R‑33) have introduced Senate Bill 929, a constitutional amendment to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania.
Starting July 1, 2029, school districts would no longer collect property taxes — giving voters the final say and protecting homeowners from losing their homes due to rising tax bills.
“No one should lose their home because of taxes.”

I am proud to announce that my legislation, SB89, has been signed into law as Act 18. This important law will ensure that all known or suspected drug overdoses treated by EMS providers are accurately tracked in the statewide overdose mapping system. By implementing this measure, we are taking a crucial step toward enhancing our response to the overdose crisis and saving lives.
Act 18 will:
✔️ Improve real-time overdose tracking
✔️ Help get naloxone and emergency resources where they’re needed most
✔️ Strengthen coordination between EMS, police & public health officials
✔️ Support smarter recovery efforts with better data

📢 One of the top concerns I hear from constituents is the burden of school property taxes. It’s time to act.
That’s why I’ve teamed up with Sen. Chris Gebhard to introduce SB929 — a constitutional amendment to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania. 🏠
⚖️ In 2023, our school funding system was ruled unconstitutional, but no action has been taken. Meanwhile, homeowners—especially seniors—continue to struggle under this broken tax system.
❗No tax should have the power to leave you homeless.
✅ SB929 will:
• Eliminate school property taxes
• Require the Legislature to create a fairer education funding model
• Ensure school districts still receive strong support
🗳️ This amendment gives you the power to decide.
Let’s deliver real, lasting relief for Pennsylvanians.
