What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in general, every employer must withhold from an

employee's wages an amount that is determined by the Department of Revenue

(DOR) according to withholding tables that are prepared by DOR. Current law

exempts from this withholding requirement any county fair association with regard

to an employee who receives less than $100 annually in wages or salary from the

association.

This bill increases the exemption amount to $500.

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.
