Summary

The bill revises the state tax code to increase the Earned Income Tax Credit, let more taxpayers claim it using a Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, and creates a $600 credit for each qualifying dependent. It also requires the Department of Revenue to issue tax IDs for children without SSNs and to provide multilingual outreach to low‑income workers. The changes aim to lift families out of poverty by making tax credits easier to claim and better publicized.
