Overview: AB 1057, "Personal Income Tax Law: exclusions: first responders: overtime pay", was introduced but did not advance further in the legislative process.
Purpose and Intent: The bill sought to provide a state income tax exclusion for overtime pay earned by first responders, such as firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel. The goal was to recognize the critical role of these essential workers and the significant overtime hours they often work, particularly during emergencies and natural disasters.
Key Provisions:
- Excludes from personal income tax the overtime pay received by first responders
- Defines "first responder" to include firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would have directly benefited first responders by reducing their state income tax burden, potentially increasing their take-home pay. This could have helped with recruitment and retention efforts for these essential public safety roles.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: AB 1057 was introduced in the state legislature but did not advance further, as it was deemed to have failed pursuant to Joint Rule 62(a). The bill did not receive enough support to move forward in the legislative process.
