Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to provide for a $1,000 tax credit against personal income tax in tax years 2016-2017 for recent graduates of higher education programs.
According to our interpretation and based on available data, a Personal Income Tax credit for recent graduates of up to $1,000 would result in a revenue loss of $29. 6 million in FY2017 and a loss of $7.4 million in FY2018. Graduates from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2015 would be able to take a credit in Tax Year 2016. A credit would be available in Tax Year 2017 for those taxpayers who graduated between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016 but did not take a credit in Tax Year 2016.
Additional administrative costs will be $45,500 in FY2017 and $30,000 in FY2018.
