Maddy summaryH 3793 would exempt all overtime income earned by South Carolina individual taxpayers from the state's income tax. The bill requires that overtime pay not be counted toward taxable income and prohibits state tax withholding on overtime earnings. It applies directly to workers who receive overtime pay, including those in hourly or salaried positions covered by overtime rules. The exemption would take effect upon the governor's approval, with the tax department allowed to request necessary information for administration. This policy change would reduce the state income tax burden for eligible workers receiving overtime compensation.
