AB110,,3 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit for contributions made by a business entity to a pediatric cancer research institution. The bill requires the institution to use the contribution exclusively and directly for pediatric cancer research and defines a “pediatric cancer research institution” as a hospital or an institution of higher education located in this state that is actively conducting pediatric cancer research, as certified by the secretary of health services.

Under the bill, the maximum amount of the credit that an entity may claim in any taxable year is $2,500,000. If the amount of the credit exceeds the entity’s tax liability, the entity does not receive a refund but, instead, may claim the remaining, unused credit against the entity’s tax liability in subsequent years.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
