AN ACT EXEMPTING OVERTIME WAGES, TIPS OR GRATUITIES AND SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FROM THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
HB 5089 would exempt overtime wages, tips or gratuities, and Social Security benefits from the state's personal income tax. This directly affects workers who earn overtime pay, receive tips (like in restaurants), or rely on Social Security benefits as part of their income. The bill's key mechanism is amending tax law to remove these specific income sources from taxable personal income. It does not change tax rates for other income types, focusing solely on these exemptions.
