What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, as created in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 , the homestead tax credit formula factors (maximum income, maximum property taxes, and income threshold) are not indexed for inflation after 2010. This bill repeals those provisions and restores former law. Under the bill, the homestead tax credit formula factors would be indexed for inflation for 2011 and beyond.
