AN ACT ESTABLISHING AN ADDITIONAL MARGINAL RATE FOR THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX AND DEDICATING THE REVENUE GENERATED TO CERTAIN PURPOSES.

HB 5081 would create a new 4% personal income tax rate on earnings above $1 million annually for high-income earners. The revenue generated from this tax would be dedicated exclusively to funding education, higher education, child care services, and repairs for roads, bridges, and public transportation. This bill directly affects individuals with taxable income exceeding $1 million, as it imposes an additional tax rate on that portion of their income. The policy change shifts how state revenue from this specific tax bracket is allocated, requiring it to support these designated public services rather than general state funds.
