Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill has no net General Fund cost.  It requires the state to conform to recent federal income tax law changes but requires taxpayers to make adjustments to income to avoid the significant General Fund revenue loss that would result from full conformity.  The following table is provided for informational purposes only as it reflects the General Fund revenue loss associated with fully conforming to the federal Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, Public Law 108-27, if the adjustments contained in this bill were not made.
