Explanation
(This amendment eliminates a proposal contained in House Bill 1400 that would cap the Coalfield Employment Enhancement Tax Credit at $500,000 per return. The "Front Page" revenues contained in the budget assumed reduced costs from the credit of $14.7 million based on this proposal. That amount would be offset by other budgetary savings to support this change. A companion amendment to Item 120 eliminates a proposed appropriation of $1.2 million to the Coalfield Economic Development Authority that was intended to offset lost revenues to that Authority.)
