Completed Budget Addresses Key Issues for Rural PA, Causer Says
Increased payment in lieu of taxes, funding for 9-1-1 featured
HARRISBURG – Increased payments for state-owned land, support for vital 9-1-1 systems and the long-awaited distribution of funding for libraries and career and technical schools are among the issues addressed as the General Assembly finally completed the state budget process this week, said Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter).
“It took longer than it should have to get here, but I am pleased to finally have a final 2023-24 state budget in place that also addresses some key issues for our rural communities,” Causer said.
First and foremost, the budget package provides a much-needed increase in the payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) on state-owned forest lands, as well as lands owned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) and the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC).
Under Act 34 of 2023, payments by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) would increase from $6 to $7.20 per acre, with the funding split three ways between municipalities, school districts and counties in which the land is located. DCNR’s PILT rate was last increased in 2017.
