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.
