The Threshold & Funds Bill
New tax break raises filing threshold and funds nursing homes
Relative to business enterprise tax returns and appropriating funds to the department of health and human services for licensed nursing facilities.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let many small businesses skip tax returns and lower the business tax rate, while giving $2.5 million to help nursing homes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see lower state revenue, which might affect services, but businesses would keep more money and fewer paperwork hassles; the nursing home money could keep Medicaid rates steady.
