Effective immediately. Fiscal Note (Dept. of Revenue) Although increasing the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) diversion rate would have no effect on gross corporate or individual income taxes, there would be a decrease to the amount deposited into the General Revenue Fund and a corresponding increase to the amount deposited into the LGDF. Because the diversion rate would increase in February of each calendar year for four consecutive years beginning in 2020, the additional amount of money deposited into the LGDF would increase gradually for each of the next several fiscal years.
