(WHTM) — Pennsylvania lawmakers are hosting a “School Property Tax Elimination Town Hall” on Wednesday evening.

Pennsylvania State Senator Dawn Keefer (R-Cumberland, York counties) announced on Facebook that the town hall will occur on May 27 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Elizabethtown High School at 600 E. High Street.

Attendees will discuss Sen. Keefer’s School Property Tax Elimination Act, which proposes eliminating school property taxes in Pennsylvania and replacing them with a fair tax shift.

The bill’s co-sponsorship memo says it aims to replace the state’s current regressive property taxes with a 1.88% Personal Income Tax increase and a 2% Sales and Use Tax increase, redirecting revenue to local school districts. The memo says this new system could bring $300 million to Philadelphia schools in the first year.

“No one should be one life event away from losing their home,” Sen. Keefer said in her memo.
