Bill Summary

Relative to income tax return options. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill allows taxpayers to indicate on their income tax return that they do not want their tax liability to be used to pay for abortion services. If a taxpayer elects this option, the portion of their tax liability that would have gone towards abortion services will instead be deposited into a special account to fund a public information program about "baby safe haven" laws, which allow parents to safely surrender newborns. The amount of tax liability set aside will be determined based on the percentage of the state's general fund that was used for abortion services the previous year.
