| | | Sec. 4. Application. That section of this Act that repeals and | | replaces the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 5122, | | subsection 2, paragraph M applies to tax years beginning on or | | after January 1, 2001. |
|
| | | Current law exempts from the state income tax the first $6,000 | | of income received from certain public, private and military | | pensions; this amount is reduced by the total amount of social | | security and railroad benefits received. |
|
| | | This bill exempts from the social security benefit offset | | benefits received under the Maine State Retirement System. |
|
| | | This bill also corrects a conflict created by Public Law 1999, | | chapters 708 and 731, each of which enacted a new Maine Revised | | Statutes, Title 36, section 5122, subsection 2, paragraph M. | | This bill resolves the conflict by reallocating one of the new | | paragraphs to be the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section | | 5122, subsection 2, paragraph N. |
