HCS/HB 631 - This act authorizes a state individual and corporate income tax check-off for the newly created developmental disabilities waiting list equity trust fund. Taxpayers entitled to a refund may designate that at least one dollar on an individual return or two dollars on a combined return of the taxpayer's to be deposited into the fund. Taxpayers that are not entitled to receive an income tax refund may make a donation to the fund by designating an amount and sending separate payment with their income tax return. Moneys in the fund will be used to provide community services and support to people with developmental disabilities and their families who are eligible to receive services, but are on the developmental disabilities waiting list. Moneys in the fund cannot be used to offset other general revenue appropriations. The provisions of the act will automatically sunset on December 31, 2017, unless reauthorized. JASON ZAMKUS
