Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Authorizes a deduction of up to $10,000 per taxable year for amounts contributed in the taxable year to a College Savings Pool Account or the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, excluding amounts rolled over into the account (now, unlimited deductions authorized only for contributions to the College Savings Pool, excluding rollovers). Amends the State Treasurer Act, the Baccalaureate Savings Act, and the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Act to remove language providing that (i) contributions to the Bright Start Program; (ii) contributions toward the purchase of the first $25,000 of College Savings Bonds; and (iii) contributions toward the purchase of an Illinois Prepaid Tuition Contract, respectively, shall not be counted against the financial aid awarded by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the State, or any agency thereof. Effective immediately, except that the changes to the State Treasurer Act, the Baccalaureate Savings Act, and the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Act take effect on January 1, 2005.

Fiscal Note (Department of Revenue)

House Bill 4914 limits deductions for contributions to the Bright Start program to $10,000 and creates a new deduction for contributions to College Illinois limited to $10,000. Limiting Bright Start contribution deductions to $10,000 will save the State approximately $1.5 million. Allowing deductions for contributions up to $10,000 to the College Illinois program is estimated to cost approximately $2.2 million. This is a net cost of $700,000.

House Amendment No. 1
Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Provides that the deduction of certain amounts contributed during the taxable year to a College Savings Pool Account or the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund shall be for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 (rather than January 1, 2004). Makes corresponding changes.
