Bill Summary

Section 67 contained in the engrossed Bill making appropriations for the fiscal year 2016 (see House, No. 3650), which had been returned by His Excellency the Governor with recommendation of amendment (for message, see Attachment H of House, No. 3675). July 17, 2015.

AI Summary

This bill, declared an emergency law for the immediate preservation of public convenience, aims to increase the amount of the earned income tax credit, a tax benefit for low-to-moderate income working individuals and families. Specifically, it amends Section 6 of Chapter 62 of the General Laws by changing the earned income tax credit percentage from 15% to 23% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016. This change is contingent upon the repeal of Section 95 of Chapter 173 of the Acts of 2008, which is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2015; if this repeal does not happen, the increase in the earned income tax credit will not take effect.
