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 tax deduction for all prepaid tuition contracts or college savings plans regardless of whether they are administered by the board of the college prepaid tuition and savings program.
As written, this bill would expand the current decreasing modification to federal adjusted gross income for payments made under all prepaid tuition contracts or other college savings plans, whether or not such plans are administered by the “Board of College Prepaid Tuition and Savings Program”. The passage of this bill would result in a loss to the General Revenue Fund of up to $6.6 million per year.
If all returns were accepted as filed, there would be no additional administrative cost to the State Tax Department.
