	State Debt Impact Note (H-AM 1)(Comm on Gov't Forecasting & Accountability)

The Department of Revenue estimates that the tax credit for employers who hire qualified ex-offenders would reduce Illinois Income Tax revenues by approximately $600,000 per year, beginning in calendar year 2007 and that the tax credit for employers who hire qualified veterans would reduce Illinois Income Tax revenues by approximately $1.26 million in calendar year 2007, by approximately $1.89 million to $2.52 million in calendar year 2008, and increase by an unknown amount each year thereafter. Additionally, the Illinois Department of Revenue would incur administrative costs associated with the administration of the new tax credits of approximately $50,000 to $100,000 in fiscal year 2007 and approximately $25,000 to $75,000 each year thereafter.

The Governor's Office of Management & Budget will not have an impact on the budget balance of the State.
