What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, an adoptive parent may claim the state income tax deduction

for certain adoption expenses if a final adoption order has been entered by a court

in this state related to a foreign adoption or by a court of any other state. Currently,

the deduction may be claimed only for expenses related to the domestic adoption of

a child for whom a final order of adoption is entered by a Wisconsin court. This bill

expands the types of adoptions for which a deduction may be claimed.

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.
