What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the homestead tax credit formula factors (maximum

income, maximum property taxes, and income threshold) are not indexed for

inflation after 2010. This bill amends those provisions and restores the indexing

provisions of the former law. Under the bill, the homestead tax credit formula factors

would be indexed for inflation for taxable year 2014 and beyond.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
