Item 1

 
O.__The amount of tuition paid for full-time attendance at a
postsecondary educational institution in the State up to
$10,000 for each state resident student for whom the
taxpayer claims a personal exemption.

 
SUMMARY

 
This bill creates a state income tax deduction for tuition
paid for full-time attendance at a postsecondary educational
institution in Maine. The maximum deduction is $10,000 for each
student who is a Maine resident.

 
This bill also corrects a conflict created by Public Law 1999,
chapters 708 and 731, which each 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 Title 36, section 5122, subsection 2, paragraph
N.
