What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the maximum individual income tax sliding scale standard

deduction (SSSD) by 20.6 percent for each type of income tax filer, and modifies each

of the phaseout percentages so they are closer together. These changes first apply

to taxable year 2020. The indexing provisions that apply to the current SSSD

continue to apply to the new standard deduction amounts.

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.
