Summary

The bill lets counties create a credit against the county income tax for each qualified child of a taxpayer whose federal adjusted gross income is under $15,000. The credit mirrors the state child tax credit—$500 per child, reduced as income rises—and can be refunded if it exceeds the county tax owed. It is intended to provide extra financial relief to low‑income families with young or disabled children.
