Governor signs bill on
tax break for stillborn children

Arizonans with stillborn children will be entitled to
tax breaks under a bill signed into law by Gov. Janet Napolitano
on Monday.
Starting with the 2004 tax year, the bill (SB13003) allows a $2,300 state
income-tax deduction from a taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income
for a person who receives a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Marilyn Jarrett, R-Mesa, said the tax break
is intended to help families for funeral expenses and other costs incurred
with stillborns.
According to a legislative staff memo, there were approximately 600 stillbirths
annually in recent years in Arizona, resulting in approximately 400 certificates.
Legislative budget analysts estimated the new tax break's cost to the
state at $34,000 to $51,000 annually. |
