The stated purpose of this bill is to include on the state personal income tax return a checkoff option to donate some or all of any tax refund to the “Jackson’s Mill 4-H Camp Checkoff Program” for the operation of the camp According to our interpretation, passage of this bill would result in the creation of a voluntary check-off line on Personal Income Tax returns for taxpayers who wish to contribute to the “Jackson’s Mill 4-H Camp Checkoff Program”.

Memorandum


The stated purpose of this bill is to include on the state personal income tax return a check off option to donate some or all of any tax refund to the “Jackson’s Mill 4-H Camp Check Off Program” for the operation of the camp. Changing the designation of the proposed new section from W. Va. Code §18-11-12 to W. Va. Code §18-11-11a might be more appropriate fit since W. Va. Code §18-11-11 deals with “4-H camps.” To describe the objective of the bill more precisely; the name of the check off should be changed from “Program” to “Fund.” Language needs to be inserted into the bill establishing a “Jackson’s Mill 4-H Camp Fund” and providing for a special revenue account into which the donations can be deposited.
