  1  5    Sec. 100.  NEW SECTION.  236.15B  INCOME TAX

  1  7    A person who files an individual or a joint income
  1  8 tax return with the department of revenue and finance

  1 10 paid to the general fund of the state and used for the
  1 11 purposes of providing emergency shelter services,
  1 12 support services, and other services to victims of
  1 13 domestic abuse or sexual assault.  If the refund due
  1 14 on the return or the payment remitted with the return
  1 15 is insufficient to pay the additional amount
  1 16 designated by the taxpayer to be used for the purposes
  1 17 of providing services to victims of domestic abuse or
  1 18 sexual assault, the amount designated shall be reduced
  1 19 to the remaining amount of refund or the remaining
  1 20 amount remitted with the return.
  1 21    It is the intent of the general assembly that the
  1 22 funds generated from the checkoff be appropriated and
  1 23 used for the purposes of providing services to victims
  1 24 of domestic abuse or sexual assault.
  1 25    The director of revenue and finance shall draft the
  1 26 income tax form to allow the designation of
  1 27 contributions to be used for the purposes of providing
  1 28 services to victims of domestic abuse or sexual
  1 29 assault on the tax return.
  1 30    The department of revenue and finance on or before
  1 31 January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
  1 32 year in which the tax returns were filed shall certify
  1 33 the total amount designated on the tax return forms
  1 34 due in the preceding calendar year and shall report
  1 35 the amount to the treasurer of state.
  1 36    The department of revenue and finance shall consult
  1 37 the crime victim assistance board concerning the
  1 38 adoption of rules to implement this section.  However,
  1 39 before a checkoff pursuant to this section shall be
  1 40 permitted, all liabilities on the books of the
  1 41 department of revenue and finance and accounts
  1 42 identified as owing under section 421.17 and the
  1 43 political contribution allowed under section 56.18
  1 44 shall be satisfied.
  1 45    Sec. 200.  Section 236.15A, Code 1997, is repealed.
  1 46    Sec.    .  APPROPRIATION.  There is appropriated

  1 50 much thereof as is necessary, to be used for the

  2  4 of the department of justice for the purposes of
  2  5 providing emergency shelter services, support
  2  6 services, and other services to victims of domestic
  2  7 abuse or sexual assault:  
  2  8 .................................................. $     75,000
  2  9    Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys appropriated
  2 10 in this section shall not revert but shall remain
  2 11 available for the purposes designated until the close
  2 12 of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999.
  2 13    Sec.    .  RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY.  Section 100
  2 14 of this division of this Act applies retroactively to
  2 15 January 1, 1997, for tax years beginning on or after
  2 16 that date.  Section 200 of this division of this Act
