Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows an individual, when computing state income tax liability, to
deduct the premiums paid for flood insurance coverage on his or her owner-occupied
primary residence. The insurance must be purchased under the National Flood
Insurance Program or as private flood insurance that meets the qualifications under
that program.
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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
