Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates an income and franchise tax exemption for income received in
the form of a grant from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund established by the
federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Current law provides similar exemptions
for income received in the form of allocations issued by the state with moneys
received from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund and used for a number of
purposes, including broadband expansion, privately owned movie theater grants,
music and performance venue grants, and lodging industry grants.
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.
