This bill allows individual income taxpayers to deduct the
amount paid for health insurance for the taxpayer, his or her
spouse, and dependents if the taxpayer is self-employed.  The
state income tax deduction will only be allowed to the extent
the amount of the deduction is not allowed on the taxpayer's
federal income tax return.

This bill will become effective January 1, 2000.
