03:44 PM -- SB17-054
Senator Court, prime sponsor, presented Senate Bill 17-054, which revises the process for how an income tax voluntary program (or income tax checkoffs) may appear on a state individual income tax form. The bill creates a rotation schedule so that each tax checkoff is allowed to appear on the income tax form for five consecutive years, after which the program is removed for a minimum of five income tax years. The tax checkoff program may be added back to the tax form after the five-year hiatus, if the General Assembly enacts legislation. Senator Court distributed a handout to the committee (Attachment E). Committee discussion ensued on the state's income tax programs. Senator Court responded to committee questions.
