SUMMARY

 
This bill is a revised version of a revenue targeting program
passed by the 117th Legislature and repealed by the 118th
Legislature.

 
This bill creates a procedure by which individual income tax
rates are reduced periodically until they are 20% less than the
1998 rates, without reducing the anticipated receipt of revenue.
Whenever the actual amount of tax revenue exceeds the anticipated
amount of tax revenue, the State Tax Assessor is directed to
reduce the income tax rates by an amount based upon the excess
revenue, not to exceed a 20% reduction in current tax rates.
