Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

State funds refundable long-term care credit

The law sets aside a sum‑sufficient appropriation to pay a refundable long‑term care insurance assessment tax credit. The state uses this money to issue refunds when eligible filers claim the credit. This takes effect only if a separate 2025 bill with the same credit is enacted; otherwise this act is void. Eligibility and credit rules are set in that companion bill, not here.
