What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current federal law, certain individuals may make tax-deductible

contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs) and withdraw the money tax-free

when needed to cover routine and preventive medical care.

Under this bill, an individual who makes contributions to such an HSA may

claim a nonrefundable income tax credit for 6.5 percent of the allowable amount that

the individual claims as a federal tax deduction for a contribution to an HSA or 6.5

percent of the federal tax-exempt earnings relating to an HSA, or both.
