HB 13: AN ACT relating to revenue and declaring an emergency.

HB 13 is a technical correction to Kentucky law governing how individual income tax refunds are handled for married couples. It clarifies that refunds for spouses filing separate returns must be split based on each spouse's share of their combined adjusted gross income, while refunds for joint returns remain treated as a single amount subject to full transfer to claimant agencies. The bill does not change existing tax policy or create new obligations; it only adjusts the language of KRS 131.575 to ensure consistent application of current refund rules. This affects Kentucky taxpayers filing separate or joint returns who receive tax refunds.
