What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit of $2,000 that may be claimed by the parents of a stillbirth. The bill defines stillbirth as a birth that occurs in this state that results in a stillbirth for which a fetal death report is required. Because the credit is refundable, if the amount of the credit for which the individual is eligible exceeds his or her tax liability, the difference will be refunded to the claimant.
