Source: PA Chamber of Business & Industry

With the 2023-24 legislative session at its end, the PA Chamber is taking stock of its member-driven, pro-business accomplishments over the course of the past two years with their latest End of Session Report.

The report highlights some of the state Chamber's more noteworthy accomplishments, working alongside state lawmakers and the Shapiro Administration. These include tax reform like improving the treatment of Net Operating Losses and continuing the phase-down of our Corporate Net Income Tax Rate; permitting reform to help accelerate the approval of construction projects and economic development; state budgets that do not raise taxes; and continued progress to improve and support the workforce – all of which contribute to the state chamber's mission of driving Pennsylvania’s competitiveness forward.

In addition to the PA Chamber’s legislative advocacy, the report also highlights their judicial advocacy through coordination and filing of amicus briefs, which were filed to provide information, expertise, and insights to help encourage smart court decisions.

Lastly, the report includes the PA Chamber's Advocacy Return on Investment analysis, showing how their successful advocacy saves Pennsylvania’s private sector an estimated $33 billion and $5,056 per employee each year.

As we approach another session with a divided state House and Senate, the PA Chamber is optimistic about advancing bipartisan, pro-growth policies, including continuing to improve our tax climate; ensuring permitting reforms achieve intended goals; strengthening our workforce; improving transportation infrastructure; advancing forward-thinking energy policies; supporting legislation to promote more balanced legal and labor climates; and expanding pro-growth tax policies contained in the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the federal level.

The Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce is a proud partner and member of the PA Chamber of Business & Industry.
