Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to provide a tax credit against tax for fees paid for recycling, not to exceed $600. According to our interpretation, the passage of this bill would have no revenue impact upon the General Revenue Fund. The bill cites three sections in the WV Code, §22-15-11, §22-15A-19 and §22-16-4 where fees are imposed for the disposal of solid waste at sold waste disposal facilities in the State. All of these statutes exempt recycling from the solid waste assessment fee. There would be no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department from the passage of this bill.
