STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS08936
This bill partially eliminates the marriage tax penalty by
increasing the amount of standard deduction for joint filers by
$150. This increase is made effective on 1/1/99. It also provides
a mechanism whereby taxpayers may donate their marriage tax
penalty savings to a newly created Early Childhood Development
Account, and any taxpayer may elect (via a checkoff)to contribute
any amount they desire to the Early Childhood Development Account.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill will reduce ongoing General Fund revenue by an estimated
$1.268 million starting in FY 2000. It will also yield revenue to
the newly created Early Childhood Development Account, but it is
very difficult to estimate the amount. Absent any experience, a
preliminary estimate of $50,000 is suggested. The actual amount
may vary considerably from this estimate.
