Committee approves increase to adoption-expenses tax credit
Summary
House Bill 2610 increases the state nonrecurring adoption-expenses tax credit to 15% of qualified expenses (up to $3,000 for single filers and $6,000 for joint filers); committee passed the bill unanimously.
House Bill 2610, which increases the state tax credit for nonrecurring adoption expenses, passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee 10-0.
Sponsor Senator Rader summarized the core change: the credit’s maximum rate would rise to 15% for qualified adoption expenses, with caps of $3,000 for single filers and $6,000 for joint filers. Committee materials estimated no fiscal impact for fiscal year 2026 and an estimated $80,000 impact for fiscal year 2027.
"The essence of the bill is on page 2, lines 13 through 19," Rader told the committee. He moved the do-pass recommendation and yielded for questions; there were none and the committee recorded unanimous support.
With the committee recommendation, House Bill 2610 will advance toward further legislative consideration.
