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 personal income tax modification for retirees who are in long-term care facilities who also receive retirement or investment income.
As written, we are unable to estimate the loss to the General Revenue Fund from the passage of this bill. The bill is very broad in nature and provides no definitions of retirement or investment income.
Additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department would be minimal.

Memorandum
The stated purpose of this bill is to provide a personal income tax modification for retirees who are in long-term care facilities who also receive retirement or investment income.
This bill does not provide a definition of “retirement income” or “investment income”, nor is there a definition or statement of what qualifies as a “long-term care facility”. Also, there is no effective date for the tax year when the use of the reducing modification may commence.
