The Pennsylvania Bar Association is reporting:

On Monday, Nov. 21, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives will vote on the Commonwealth Caucus’ “Plan for Pennsylvania’s Future” (special session House Bills 39-43). This legislation, specifically special session [1] HB 43, would impose a five percent sales tax on numerous items such as food, clothing, and services, including legal professional services.

The Pennsylvania Bar Association has launched a major grassroots effort in opposition to the expansion of the sales tax to include legal professional services.
