FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this legislation extends the net operating losses (NOL) carry-back from farming from two years to three years. DOR assumes this legislation will require form changes and programming modifications. However, these modifications will be made with existing resources.



Officials of the Department of Agriculture assume this proposal would not impact their agency. This proposal could have a positive impact on farmers in that they will have more flexibility in carrying back operating losses.



Oversight assumes this proposal would potentially decrease revenue as farmers will be allowed an additional year to report carry-back losses. The amount of the NOL carry-backs is unknown. Oversight will reflect the revenue loss for this proposal as a negative unknown for each year.

This proposal could decrease Total State Revenue.
