AN ACT INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX DEDUCTION FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO STATE-ESTABLISHED 529 QUALIFIED STATE TUITION PROGRAMS.

SB 80 increases the state income tax deduction for contributions to state-run 529 college savings plans. It raises the deduction from $5,000 to $7,500 for individual filers and from $10,000 to $12,500 for married couples filing jointly. The bill directly affects taxpayers who contribute to these state-established tuition savings accounts. This change lowers taxable income for eligible contributors, making college savings slightly more affordable.
