Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to increase the tax credit for employers providing childcare for employees. According to our interpretation, this bill would increase the credits for capital investment in a childcare facility and operating costs of a childcare facility from 50 percent to 100 percent. The current tax credits related to capital investments and operating costs are at 50 percent. This bill simply doubles the credit amount for both credits currently in statute. Passage of this bill will likely yield a reduction in the General Revenue Fund of some significance beginning in FY2024 largely due to the expansion of the current tax credits related to capital investment and operating costs of a childcare facility. Additional administrative costs incurred by the State Tax Department would be $10,000 in FY2024.
