This bill creates an individual income tax subtract modification (deduction) for up to $1,000 of income earned by an individual who is a year-round resident of this state and who graduates from a regionally accredited college or university. The deduction may be claimed by an individual only for the first five years following the year in which his or her bachelor's degree is awarded.
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.
