Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to extend the additional modification reducing federal adjusted gross income.
For Tax Years which have been approved by the Legislature, retirees receiving pensions from defined pension plans that terminated and are being paid a reduced maximum benefit guarantee from the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) are eligible to receive a personal income tax adjustment equal to the amount of pension income not received. This bill seeks to extend the decreasing modification for Tax Year 2023 through Tax Year 2027. Current W.Va. Code §11-21-12d, which was amended during the 2019 legislative session, provides that the adjustment shall be effective beginning on January 1, 2020, and shall terminate for taxable years on and after January 1, 2023. Based on our interpretation, passage of this bill would result in a loss of $230,000 for FY2024 and subsequential fiscal years through 2028. Unless additional businesses which offered defined benefit retirement plans are added to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Program, we anticipate that the cost of this modification will decline over time.
There would be no additional administrative costs.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
For Tax Years which have been approved by the Legislature, retirees receiving pensions from defined pension plans that terminated and are being paid a reduced maximum benefit guarantee from the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) are eligible to receive a personal income tax adjustment equal to the amount of pension income not received.
