FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials from the Office of Administration, Division of Budget and Planning (BAP) assume this proposal would not result in additional costs or savings to their organization.


BAP officials also assume the proposal would allow, for the purposes of calculating taxable retirement benefits, the maximum Social Security benefit available, currently thirty-two thousand five hundred dollars to increase annually by the percentage increase in the consumer price index. The proposal would remove the current age requirement of 62 years for the publicly funded retirement benefit income tax exemption, and it would require taxpayers receiving both public retirement funds and social security to reduce their publicly funded retirement benefit exemption by the amount of Social Security benefits exempted from state income tax. BAP defers to DOR for an estimate of reduced general and total state revenues.


Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact to DOR or to the state.
