The Long Collectors Bill
Pennsylvania limits how long tax collectors can chase old debts
In general provisions, further providing for statute of limitations for collection of assessed taxes.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would set a time limit on when the state can collect overdue taxes, protecting people from old tax bills.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Taxpayers could avoid surprise back‑tax demands years after filing, while the state may lose some revenue if old debts disappear.
