The Chamber is constantly working for your business interests and for the future of small and large companies in the commonwealth by supporting legislators in Harrisburg with a pro-business voting record. Our commitment to working for business reforms in Harrisburg underscores our continued commitment to business in Chester County.
Below are just a few of our key issues.
Fair Share Act
Addressing the Joint & Several Liability reform was a significant victory for every business owner in Pennsylvania. The Chamber brought this issue to the forefront and made it a priority with our legislators.
Medical Malpractice
Keeping doctors in the state and steaming the rising cost of medicine is a concern for every insurance premium paying business, small or large. Tort Reform for malpractice cases in the Commonwealth will continue to be an issue we will lobby for in Harrisburg.
Elimination of the Capital Stock & Franchise Tax
The proposed plan of phasing out this anti-business tax isn't pro-business enough to benefit today's new company or franchise. The Chamber is working with our elected officials in Harrisburg for complete elimination.
Net Operating Loss Carry Forward Provision
Currently this provision is only applied to 'C' corporations, leaving 'S' corporations, partnerships and sole proprietors without this ability. The increase in the extension (from 10 - 20 years) grants the same tax benefits of large businesses to small companies and sole proprietors.
