What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill adopts, for state income and franchise tax purposes, a provision in the Internal Revenue Code that relates to exempting from taxation certain payments made by an employer to an employee to reimburse the employee for costs he or she has paid for medical care for the employee's adult child. This bill first applies to taxable years beginning on January 1, 2011.

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.
