What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
