Bill Summary

To replace the current corporation income tax on publicly traded corporations with a corporation income tax rate based on a pay ratio scale.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to replace the current corporation income tax on publicly traded corporations with a new tax rate structure based on the ratio between the corporation's highest-paid employee and the median compensation level of its employees. The new tax rates would be as follows: 5% for a pay ratio of 25:1 or less, 7.5% for a ratio greater than 25:1 up to and including 100:1, 10% for a ratio greater than 100:1 up to and including 250:1, and 25% for a ratio greater than 250:1. This change is intended to incentivize publicly traded corporations to reduce the pay gap between their highest-paid and median-level employees.
