Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
The bill excludes from income for state tax purposes all income received in the
form of a grant issued by the state with moneys received from the federal coronavirus
relief fund. In addition, the bill provides that amounts otherwise deductible for state
income tax purposes that are paid directly or indirectly with the grant money are also
deductible.
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.

an appendix to this bill.
