Kiskiminetas supervisors authorize advertisement of proposed $350 amusement tax for electronic games
Summary
The Kiskiminetas Township Board of Supervisors voted to advertise a proposed ordinance creating a $350 amusement tax for electronic games of chance and discussed an age limit of 21 and penalties; the solicitor summarized the ordinance and the board will publish the notice as required.
The Kiskiminetas Township Board of Supervisors on April 8 voted to authorize advertisement of a proposed amusement tax ordinance that would impose a $350 fee for electronic games of chance.
Township Solicitor Fritz summarized the proposed ordinance for the board, noting it would include an age limit of 21 for use of the machines and provide for summary offenses and penalties. The board’s motion to advertise the ordinance passed without recorded roll-call tallies.
The move to advertise begins the local public notice process; interested residents raised questions at the meeting about permit labels and whether monthly reporting from local volunteer organizations should be published online. Public commenters and board members asked about sticker logistics and age restrictions during public comment and the solicitor’s overview.
A public hearing on separate land-use regulation matters—the township’s Oil and Gas Zoning Ordinance—was announced for April 22 at 7 p.m.; the advertisement for the amusement tax will follow the township’s standard notice requirements and timelines. The board took no final vote to adopt the ordinance on April 8 and did not set an adoption date.
