“Amendment of section 3 (definitions (Chapter 1)) of Act of 2016

15. (1) Section 3 of the Act of 2016 is amended—

“ ‘gross floor space’ means the area ascertained by the internal measurement of the floor space on each floor of a building (including internal walls and partitions), disregarding any floor space provided for the parking of vehicles by persons occupying or using the building or buildings where such floor space is incidental to the primary purpose of the building;”,

and
