What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers

a program that provides compensation to persons with contaminated wells and wells

that are unused. A person with a family income of not more than $65,000 may be

eligible for the program. The program generally pays 75 percent of eligible costs with

a maximum award of $9,000. Eligible costs include the costs of treating the well

water, of constructing a new well or obtaining clean water from another source, or

of abandoning an unused well.

This bill creates an individual income tax subtract modification for amounts

received by an individual from DNR under the contaminated and abandoned wells

compensation program. Under the bill, the amount of the award received by an

individual is exempt from taxation.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be

referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed

as an appendix to the bill.
