Section 3. The act is amended by adding a section to read:
Section 302.2. Special Rules for Withholding.--When the tax
rate changes during a taxable year, the department shall submit
to the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication in the
Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice to employers regarding the amount
to be deducted and withheld from compensation subject to

Section 4. Section 304 of the act, amended December 13, 1991

Section 304. Special Tax Provisions for Poverty.--(a) The
General Assembly, in recognition of the powers contained in
section 2(b)(ii) of Article VIII of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which provides therein for the
establishing as a class or classes of subjects of taxation the
property or privileges of persons who, because of poverty are
determined to be in need of special tax provisions hereby
declares as its legislative intent and purpose to implement such
power under such constitutional provision by establishing
special tax provisions as hereinafter provided in this act.
(b) The General Assembly having determined that there are
persons within this Commonwealth whose incomes are such that
imposition of a tax thereon would deprive them and their
dependents of the bare necessities of life and having further
determined that poverty is a relative concept inextricably
joined with actual income and the number of people dependent
upon such income deems it to be a matter of public policy to
provide special tax provisions for that class of persons
hereinafter designated to relieve their economic burden.

Producers who have been severing natural gas from this
Commonwealth prior to the effective date of this part must
obtain a license from the department within six months from the
effective date of this section. All other producers must obtain
a license before severing natural gas from this Commonwealth. A
producer is liable for the tax imposed by this article without
regard to whether the producer obtains or is required to obtain
a license.
(b) Fee.--The department may charge an application fee to
cover the administrative costs associated with the application
and licensing process. If the department charges an application
fee, the department may not issue a license until the producer
has paid the application fee.
(c) Declaration.--As part of the application for a license,
the producer shall provide a declaration of all sites in this
Commonwealth used by the producer for the severance of natural
gas. The declaration shall include all producing sites and sites
which are stripper wells. The producer shall update the
declaration when the producer adds or removes a producing site
in this Commonwealth or when there is a change in the status of
a producing site. The producer shall update the declaration
within 30 days after any calendar month in which a change in the
information contained in the declaration occurs.
(d) Department duties.--The department shall, after the
receipt of an application, issue the license applied for under

nonassignable. Each producer shall be required to renew the

department. After the initial staggered period, a license issued
shall be valid for a period of five years.
(e) State taxes.--If an applicant for a license or a person
holding a license has not filed all required State tax reports
and paid any State taxes not subject to a timely perfected
administrative or judicial appeal or subject to a duly
authorized deferred payment plan, the department may refuse to
issue, suspend or revoke the license. The department shall
notify the applicant or licensee of a refusal, suspension or
revocation. The notice shall contain a statement that the
refusal, suspension or revocation may be made public. The notice
shall be made by first class mail. An applicant or licensee
aggrieved by the determination of the department may file an
appeal of the determination in the same manner as provided for
reassessments of tax under section 1108-E. In the case of a
suspension or revocation which is appealed, the license shall
remain valid pending a final outcome of the appeal.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if
no appeal is taken or if an appeal is taken and denied at the
conclusion of the appeal process, the department may disclose,
by publication or otherwise, the identity of a person whose
license has been refused, suspended or revoked under this
subsection. Disclosure may include the basis for refusal,
suspension or revocation.
(f) Severing without a license.--A person that severs
natural gas in this Commonwealth without holding a valid license
