Committee rerefers tuition‑tax and student‑loan forgiveness bill to House Finance
Summary
House Bill 813, which would exempt eligible tuition reimbursement from personal income tax and codify that student‑loan forgiveness is not taxable income, was rereferred from the House Education Committee to the House Finance Committee.
House Bill 813 was introduced briefly on the Education Committee agenda and rereferred to the House Finance Committee by motion. The bill would exempt eligible tuition reimbursement from personal income tax and codify that student‑loan forgiveness is not taxable income. The chair said the bill had been sent to finance in the prior session and recommended a rereferral; members seconded and the motion carried without recorded opposition.
Committee members did not debate the merits in detail during the Education Committee meeting; the chair explained the rationale for moving the bill to Finance so that tax and revenue implications can be handled in the appropriate committee.
