What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill exempts from state income and franchise taxes income received in the

form of a grant issued by the state or by the federal government for broadband

expansion in this state. Current law provides an income and franchise tax exemption

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

received from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund to be used for broadband

expansion. The bill prohibits claiming the exemption under the bill and the

exemption under current law for the same grant.

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.
