What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
