SB 373 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

TAX/INCOME/PERSONAL: Provides relative to individual income tax checkoff for donations to the Coastal Protection and Restoration Fund. (gov sig) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill updates Louisiana's tax code to clarify how residents can donate money to the Coastal Protection and Restoration Fund through their state income tax returns. It allows taxpayers to either redirect all or part of their tax refund to the fund or make an extra donation beyond what they owe, with the state treasurer then sending those funds directly to the program. The legislation also corrects a reference to the specific law governing the fund to ensure accurate legal citations. While the bill was recently passed by the Senate, the provided text notes that it currently has no impact on the tax system.
