Plain-language change summary

The recently revised SB 564 bill now directs the Department of Taxation and the Commission on Local Government to specifically assess the need for income tax relief in "double distressed localities"—areas that have faced population loss and higher unemployment. This assessment will look into factors such as cost-of-living increases and propose tax policy options to help these struggling areas. The changes clarify the goals of the assessment and emphasize collaboration with local stakeholders, which is important because it seeks to create effective solutions for communities in financial distress. The findings and recommendations are expected by November 1, 2024.
