What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an income and franchise tax exemption for income received in

the form of a grant from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund established by the

federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Current law provides similar exemptions

for income received in the form of allocations issued by the state with moneys

received from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund and used for a number of

purposes, including broadband expansion, privately owned movie theater grants,

music and performance venue grants, and lodging industry grants.

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.
