Bill Summary
Relative to the earned income credit for working families. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the earned income credit (EIC) for working families. It proposes to increase the EIC from 23% to 50% of the federal EIC, and allows married individuals who are victims of domestic abuse to file separately and still claim the EIC. The bill also requires the state to provide employers with multilingual posters and notices about the EIC, and to coordinate a notification system to inform applicants and recipients of certain state benefits about the EIC. The goal is to ensure the widest possible dissemination and utilization of both the state and federal EICs.
