Pennsylvania small businesses, non-profit organizations, veteran groups, and volunteer fire halls rely on the supplemental income from skill games to keep their doors open.
Commonsense regulation and a reasonable tax rate would not only support these establishments but the commonwealth as a whole, generating an estimated $300 million in tax revenue in the first year alone.

Lawmakers Should Only Support Commonsense Regulation and Fair Taxation for Skill Games

Vote NO on 52% tax hike for small businesses!

As your constituent, I respectfully urge you to support Senate Bill 1079, sponsored by Sen. Yaw and Sen. Williams, and companion legislation, House Bill 2213, sponsored by Rep. Burgos and Rep. Fritz – bipartisan, commonsense skill game legislation.

Thousands of Pennsylvania small businesses and fraternal organizations rely on skill games for supplemental, sustainable income. These establishments include family-run mom-and-pop restaurants and bars, as well as community-centered organizations such as VFW halls, American Legion posts, and volunteer fire departments. Income from skill games goes toward creating and sustaining local jobs, paying competitive wages, making critical location updates, offering employee benefits, donating to charitable causes, and so much more.

Bipartisan, commonsense proposals to regulate and fairly tax skill games would support these establishments while implementing much-needed guardrails around the skill game industry, giving law enforcement the tools they need to crack down on illegal gambling, while generating $300 million in new, annual tax revenue for the Commonwealth.

Other proposals, including one that would implement the largest tax increase on small businesses in Pennsylvania’s history, threaten these establishments and organizations. In fact, if they were to pass, small businesses and veteran organizations would lose critical income, and many would close their doors for good.

Please support SB 1079 and HB 2213 – fair and reasonable skill game legislation for Pennsylvania. Local small businesses and veterans are counting on you!

Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth.
