What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit that is equal to the amount of property taxes that an individual paid in the taxable year to which the claim relates on the claimant's principal dwelling that was destroyed by fire, flood, or other natural or man-made disaster.
No individual may claim the tax credit if the individual's principal dwelling is destroyed by the claimant's negligent or intentional act. In addition, no claim may be made for an amount that is, or will be, reimbursed under an insurance policy.

Because the credit is refundable, if the amount of the credit exceeds the individual's tax liability, the state will issue a check to the individual for the excess amount.
