This bill allows an individual, when computing state income tax liability, to deduct the premiums paid for flood insurance coverage on his or her owner-occupied primary residence. The insurance must be purchased under the National Flood Insurance Program or as private flood insurance that meets the qualifications under that program.

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.
