Short description: 
ST TREAS-COLLEGE SAVINGS                                                   

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the State Treasurer Act and the Illinois Income  Tax  Act.      
   Exempts College Savings Pool moneys from a participant's or designated      
   beneficiary's  creditors  and  from  consideration  of a beneficiary's      
   eligibility for scholarships  awarded  by  the  State.   For  Illinois      
   income  tax  purposes, redefines an individual's adjusted gross income      
   to (i) include earnings on college savings and tuition programs  other      
   than the College Savings Pool and the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Program      
   and  (ii) remove rollover contributions from the exemption for College      
   Savings Pool contributions. Effective immediately.                          
          FISCAL NOTE (State Treasurer)                                        
          HB 4187 will save the State significant lost revenues. Under         
          current law, due to changes in Federal tax laws, the State           
          could lose approximately $3 million in exempted interest             
          earnings on investments in out-of-state college savings              
          programs, also a possible loss of $6 million in deductions           
          for investments in college savings transferred from                  
          out-of-state programs. This bill will prevent that loss.             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        In the State Treasurer Act,  removes  the  exemption  of  College      
   Savings  Pool  moneys from a participant's or beneficiary's creditors.      
   In the Illinois Income Tax Act, provides that an individual's adjusted      
   gross income must be increased by the amount excluded from his or  her      
   federal  gross  income  for  distributions from tuition programs other      
   than the College Savings Pool or the Illinois  Prepaid  Tuition  Trust      
   Fund.  Provides that the deduction from an individual's adjusted gross      
   income for contributions to a College Savings Pool  account  does  not      
   apply to amounts excluded from his or her federal gross income.
