The state will spend $425,000 to refund real property taxes and sales taxes owed by elderly people and people with disabilities under existing state programs. Up to $20,000 of that money can be used to cover the Department of Revenue's administrative costs for processing these refunds. The bill declares an emergency so the funding takes effect immediately rather than waiting for the normal legislative process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment converts the bill from its introduced form into its enrolled (final passed) form, removing the legislative process notes and adding signature lines for the Governor, Secretary of State, and other officials—this is a procedural formatting change with no substantive effect on the bill's $425,000 appropriation for tax refunds to elderly persons and persons with disabilities.
