Explanation

(This amendment is the companion to Senate Bill 499. It reflects the revenue impact of eliminating AST beginning with the payment that would be due in June 2017. The official revenue estimates assumed in the introduced budget include a reduction in revenues related to the partial repeal of AST: $37,600,000 in FY 2017 and $27,000,000 in FY 2018. Eliminating AST entirely in FY 2017 would reduce revenues in FY 2017 by an additional $160,600,000, and the reduction in FY 2018 would need to be restored. The result is the net revenue reduction over the biennium would be $134,500,000.)
