Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to raise the maximum personal income tax exemption for persons over the age of sixty-five and for persons who are totally disabled from $8,000 to $16,000.
The bill, as written, increases the modification for senior citizens and persons who are totally and permanently disabled from $8,000 to $16,000, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2016. This increase in the decreasing modification allowed would result in a loss to the General Revenue Fund of roughly $59.5 million in FY2018. The annual cost of this increase will escalate over time as members of the baby-boom generation reach the age of sixty-five.
Additional administrative costs would be $5,000 in FY2018.
