HB 1389 -- Income Tax:  Military Pensions

Sponsor:  Blunt

Under current law, annuities, pensions, retirement allowances,
and other retirement benefits provided to any person for
military service are subject to a limited state income tax
deduction of up to $6,000 of the benefits paid based on the
income of the taxpayer.  This bill will exempt from state income
tax the total military pension benefits received, regardless of
income or the amount.

The bill will become effective January 1, 2001.
