AI Summary

This bill allows taxpayers to indicate on their income tax return that they do not want any portion of their income tax liability to be used for abortion services. If a taxpayer makes this election, the portion of their tax liability that would have gone towards abortion services will instead be deposited into a separate account to fund a public information program about the state's "Baby Safe Haven Law," which allows for the voluntary abandonment of newborn infants. The amount diverted to the separate account is determined based on the percentage of the state's general fund that was dedicated to paying for abortion services in the previous year.
