  1  7    Section 1.  Section 422.4, subsection 1, paragraphs
  1  8 a and d, Code 1995, are amended to read as follows:
  1  9    a.  "Annual inflation factor" means an index,
  1 10 expressed as a percentage, determined by the
  1 11 department by October 15 of the calendar year
  1 12 preceding the calendar year for which the factor is
  1 13 determined, which reflects the purchasing power of the
  1 14 dollar as a result of inflation during the fiscal year
  1 15 ending in the calendar year preceding the calendar
  1 16 year for which the factor is determined.  In
  1 17 determining the annual inflation factor, the
  1 18 department shall use the annual percent change, but
  1 19 not less than zero percent, in the implicit price
  1 20 deflator for the gross national product gross domestic
  1 21 product price deflator computed for the second quarter
  1 22 of the calendar year by the bureau of economic
  1 23 analysis of the United States department of commerce
  1 24 and shall add one-half all of that percent change to
  1 25 one hundred percent.  The annual inflation factor and
  1 26 the cumulative inflation factor shall each be
  1 27 expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest one-
  1 28 tenth of one percent.  The annual inflation factor
  1 29 shall not be less than one hundred percent.
  1 30    d.  Notwithstanding the computation of the annual
  1 31 inflation factor under paragraph "a", the annual
  1 32 inflation factor is one hundred percent for any
  1 33 calendar year in which the unobligated state general
  1 34 fund balance on June 30 as certified by the director
  1 35 of the department of management by October 10, is less
  1 36 than sixty million dollars.  Notwithstanding section
  1 37 8.58, in determining the unobligated state general
  1 38 fund balance on June 30, unobligated moneys in the
  1 39 cash reserve fund and Iowa economic emergency fund on
  1 40 June 30 shall be counted as part of the unobligated
  1 41 state general fund balance for purposes of this
  1 42 paragraph.

  1 44 Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:

  1 46 index, expressed as a percentage, determined by the
  1 47 department by October 15 of the calendar year

  1 49 determined, which reflects the purchasing power of the
  1 50 dollar as a result of inflation during the fiscal year
  2  1 ending in the calendar year preceding the calendar
  2  2 year for which the factor is determined.  In
  2  3 determining the annual standard deduction factor, the
  2  4 department shall use the annual percent change, but
  2  5 not less than zero percent, in the implicit price
  2  6 deflator for the gross national product gross domestic
  2  7 product price deflator computed for the second quarter
  2  8 of the calendar year by the bureau of economic
  2  9 analysis of the United States department of commerce
  2 10 and shall add one-half all of that percent change to
  2 11 one hundred percent.  The annual standard deduction
  2 12 factor and the cumulative standard deduction factor
  2 13 shall each be expressed as a percentage rounded to the
  2 14 nearest one-tenth of one percent.  The annual standard
  2 15 deduction factor shall not be less than one hundred
  2 16 percent.
  2 17    Sec. 3.  This division of this Act, being deemed of
  2 18 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment and
  2 19 applies to the computation of the annual inflation
  2 20 factor and annual standard deduction factor for
  2 21 calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 1996.
  2 22 The department of revenue and finance shall adjust the
  2 23 annual inflation factor and annual standard deduction
  2 24 factor previously computed for the 1996 calendar year
  2 25 to reflect the change made in the computation of those
  2 26 factors in this Act.
