  1  1    Section 1.  Section 422.7, subsection 31, Code 1999, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    31.  For a person who is disabled, or is fifty-five years
  1  4 of age or older, or is the surviving spouse of an individual
  1  5 or a survivor having an insurable interest in an individual
  1  6 who would have qualified for the exemption under this
  1  7 subsection for the tax year, subtract, to the extent included,
  1  8 the total amount of a governmental or other pension or
  1  9 retirement pay, including, but not limited to, defined benefit
  1 10 or defined contribution plans, annuities, individual
  1 11 retirement accounts, plans maintained or contributed to by an
  1 12 employer, or maintained or contributed to by a self-employed
  1 13 person as an employer, and deferred compensation plans or any
  1 14 earnings attributable to the deferred compensation plans, up
  1 15 to a maximum of five seven thousand dollars for a person,

  1 17 income tax return and up to a maximum of ten fourteen thousand
  1 18 dollars for a husband and wife who file a joint state income

  1 20 or fifty-five years of age or older can only exclude the
  1 21 amount of pension or retirement pay received as a result of
  1 22 the death of the other spouse.  A husband and wife filing
  1 23 separate state income tax returns or separately on a combined
  1 24 state return are allowed a combined maximum exclusion under
  1 25 this subsection of up to ten fourteen thousand dollars.  The
  1 26 ten fourteen thousand dollar exclusion shall be allocated to
  1 27 the husband or wife in the proportion that each spouse's
  1 28 respective pension and retirement pay received bears to total
  1 29 combined pension and retirement pay received.
  1 30    Sec. 2.  APPLICABILITY DATE.  This Act applies to tax years
  1 31 beginning on or after January 1, 2001.  
  1 32                           EXPLANATION
