AI Summary

This bill proposes to treat kinship care payments, such as kinship guardianship assistance and Child-Only Reach Up payments for kinship care, as exempt income comparable to foster care payments for the purposes of calculating Vermont personal income tax liability and Vermont property tax credits. The bill also proposes to create a study committee on kinship care in Vermont to research the types of kinship care payments, the cost to the state of the proposed tax exemptions, the tax treatment of kinship care payments in other states, and whether there are legislative changes that would give kinship care payment recipients comparable tax treatment to that given to foster care payment recipients.
