Senate Bill 329 will update terms in the Personal Income Tax Act. The bill will update the meaning of “federal adjusted gross income” and certain other terms used, but not defined in the West Virginia Personal Income Tax Act to conform them to the federal act.
Senate Bill 410 will update terms in the Corporation Net Income Tax Act. This bill, much like Senate Bill 329, will update the meaning of “federal taxable income” and certain other terms in the West Virginia Corporation Net Income Tax Act to conform them to the Internal Revenue Service’s definitions.
Seven bills passed in the House today, bringing the total number of bills passed by the House to 60. Of those bills passed, House Bill 2836 , which is by request of the governor, deals with school innovation zones. This bill would establish zones of educational innovation that would enable faculty members to collaboratively create and implement initiatives that would have our schools meeting the needs of the 21st century. Currently these improvements are restrained and/or restricted by policies issued by the state board or the West Virginia Code. This bill would repeal current restrictions and schools would be able to begin implementation initiatives they see fit for the improvement of education.
