Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill excludes overtime compensation from income tax if the employer is required by law to pay the overtime and will result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of $35,150,000 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $36,575,000 in fiscal year 2020-21.  It will also result in a reduction in Local Government Fund revenue of $1,850,000 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $1,925,000 in fiscal year 2020-21.  This analysis assumes the exclusion includes all wage compensation from overtime hours.  The Department of Administrative and Financial Services will require a General Fund appropriation of $76,743 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $85,661 in fiscal year 2020-21 for one Tax Examiner position and related costs to process income tax returns and perform desk audits.
