Fiscal Note Summary


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


The stated purpose of this bill is to allow a subtraction from federal gross income any amount paid by a trust established by the parents (now deceased) of an autistic minor for the support of the minor for state income tax purposes. As written, this bill would allow a decreasing modification to federal adjusted gross income for any taxpayer who makes a payment into a trust created by the decedent parents of an autistic minor for the support of that minor. The modification is limited to the taxable year in which the payment is made and may be carried forward five taxable years. Due to the lack of available data, the State Tax Department is unable to accurately estimate the loss in Personal Income Tax revenue to the General Revenue Fund from the passage of this bill. There would be no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department from the passage of this bill.
