AB385,1,3 1An Act to amend 71.10 (4) (i); and to create 20.835 (2) (er) and 71.07 (8w) of the
2statutes; relating to: refundable income tax credit for bicycle purchases and
3making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates a refundable tax credit that may be claimed by individuals who
purchase bicycles for their dependents. The credit is equal to the price paid for each
bicycle, limited to $200 per dependent. The credit may be claimed only by individuals
whose family income does not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty line. Under
the bill, the individual must submit with his or her tax return any documentation
required by the Department of Revenue regarding the bicycle's purchase price.
Because the credit is refundable, if an individual is eligible to claim an amount as
a credit that exceeds his or her income tax liability, the individual receives the excess
as a refund.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
