Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT  OF  PURPOSE
                                
                            RS 13733
                                
   Current law permits a taxpayer to deduct half of the premiums
paid for long term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer=s
spouse or employee if the premium is not otherwise deductible. This
bill removes the limitation and allows the deduction for the full
amount of the premiums.
