What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current federal law, certain individuals may make tax-deductible contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs) and withdraw the money tax-free when needed to cover routine and preventive medical care.
Under this bill, an individual who makes contributions to such an HSA may claim a nonrefundable income tax credit for 6.5 percent of the allowable amount that the individual claims as a federal tax deduction for a contribution to an HSA or 6.5 percent of the federal tax-exempt earnings relating to an HSA, or both.
