The creation of the means of encouragement for 11 citizens to invest in such a program represents the carrying 12 out of a vital and valid public purpose. In order to make 13 available to the citizens of the state an opportunity to fund 14 future disability-related expenses of individuals, it is 15 necessary that a public trust be established in which moneys 16 may be invested for payment of future disability-related 17 expenses of an individual. 18 2.

NEW SECTION . 12I.10 Implementation as a 28 contracting state —— tax considerations. 29 1. The general assembly acknowledges that section 529A of 30 the Internal Revenue Code permits access to qualified ABLE 31 programs by residents of a state without such a program. The 32 general assembly finds that becoming a contracting state may 33 accomplish the public purpose set forth in section 12I.1, 34 subsection 1, in the same manner as if the qualified ABLE 35 -8- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 8/ 14
S.F. 490 program under the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust were to be 1 implemented and administered by this state. To that end, 2 the treasurer of state, as trustee of the trust, may defer 3 implementation of the qualified ABLE program under the trust 4 and alternatively cause this state to become a contracting 5 state by entering into an agreement with another state with a 6 qualified ABLE program to provide Iowa residents access to that 7 state’s qualified ABLE program. The trust shall not enter into 8 an agreement pursuant to this section unless the treasurer, 9 as trustee of the trust, determines that all of the following 10 requirements are satisfied: 11 a. The program is a qualified ABLE program. 12 b. The qualified ABLE program provides comparable benefits 13 and protections to Iowa residents as would be provided under 14 the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust. 15 c. That entering into an agreement for access to the 16 qualified ABLE program would not result in increased costs to 17 the state or to account owners and designated beneficiaries as 18 compared to the costs of implementing and administering the 19 qualified ABLE program under the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust. 20 d. The qualified ABLE program will be audited annually by 21 an independent certified public accountant or by the state 22 auditor, or similar public official, of the state that has 23 implemented the qualified ABLE program. 24 e. The qualified ABLE program will provide information to 25 the treasurer of state as trustee of the trust so as to allow 26 the trustee to fulfill the reporting requirements in section 27 12I.7. 28 2. a. The maximum amount that may be deducted for Iowa 29 income tax purposes for contributions to the qualified ABLE 30 program with which the state has contracted pursuant to 31 this section shall not exceed the maximum deductible amount 32 determined for the year pursuant to section 12D.3, subsection 33 1, paragraph “a” . This maximum amount applies per designated 34 beneficiary that is a resident of this state per year. 35 -9- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 9/ 14

Add the amount resulting from the cancellation of a 21 participation agreement refunded to the taxpayer as an account 22 owner in the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust or the qualified 23 ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to 24 section 12I.10 to the extent previously deducted pursuant 25 to this subsection by the taxpayer or any other person as a 26 contribution to the trust or qualified ABLE program. 27 c.

On December 19, 2014, the federal Achieving 26 A Better Life Experience Act of 2014 (ABLE Act) was enacted 27 as part of the federal Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 28 (Pub. L. No. 113-295). The ABLE Act allows states to create 29 programs to assist individuals in saving private funds for 30 the purpose of supporting individuals with disabilities. 31 Qualifying state programs will allow for the establishment 32 of accounts into which eligible disabled individuals or 33 others may make contributions for the payment of future 34 disability-related expenses of the eligible disabled 35 -11- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 11/ 14
S.F. 490 individual. Funds and earnings in accounts established 1 under qualifying state programs are afforded federal benefits 2 in certain circumstances, including federal tax exemption, 3 bankruptcy protection, and exclusion from consideration under 4 certain means-tested programs, such as Medicaid or supplemental 5 security income. 6 IOWA ABLE SAVINGS PLAN TRUST. The bill creates the Iowa 7 ABLE savings plan trust (trust) under the treasurer of state 8 (state treasurer) that will meet the requirements of §529A of 9 the Internal Revenue Code (federal ABLE program). The state 10 treasurer is the trustee of the trust and has numerous powers, 11 as specified in the bill, for the purpose of carrying out the 12 purpose of the trust. 13 The trust is authorized to enter into participation 14 agreements with individuals for the payment of future qualified 15 disability expenses, and to enter into contracts with other 16 states (contracting state) to allow these states’ residents 17 access to the Iowa ABLE program. “Qualified disability 18 expenses” means the same as defined under the federal ABLE 19 program, which generally defines the term to include expenses 20 related to a designated beneficiary’s education, housing, 21 transportation, employment training and support, assistive 22 technology and personal support services, health, prevention 23 and wellness, financial management and administrative services, 24 legal fees, expenses for oversight and monitoring, funeral and 25 burial expenses, and other expenses approved by the secretary 26 of the United States treasury (secretary). 27 Unless otherwise allowed under the federal ABLE program, 28 the person with whom the state treasurer enters into a 29 participation agreement must be both the account owner and 30 designated beneficiary. However, the bill allows a trustee 31 or legal guardian to be designated as custodian of an account 32 for a designated beneficiary who is a minor or who lacks 33 capacity to enter into a participation agreement, provided such 34 designation would be allowed under the federal ABLE program. 35 -12- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 12/ 14
S.F. 490 “Designated beneficiary” is defined in the bill as a person who 1 is a resident of Iowa or a contracting state and who qualifies 2 as an eligible individual under the federal ABLE program, which 3 includes individuals who are entitled to benefits based on 4 blindness or disability under Title II (disability insurance) 5 or Title XVI (supplemental security income) of the federal 6 Social Security Act if such blindness or disability occurred 7 before attaining 26 years of age, and if such individual files 8 a disability certification with the secretary. 9 The bill requires the state treasurer to maintain a separate 10 account in the trust for each designated beneficiary of a 11 participation agreement. Unless otherwise allowed under the 12 federal ABLE program, only one participation agreement shall be 13 allowed per designated beneficiary. Any person is allowed to 14 make contributions in the form of cash to an account on behalf 15 of a designated beneficiary. The trust is required to maintain 16 limits on the annual contributions to an account, and the 17 aggregate balance in an account, matching those set forth in 18 the federal ABLE program, which prohibits annual contributions 19 to an account from exceeding the annual gift tax exclusion 20 amount ($14,000 for 2015), and prohibits an aggregate account 21 balance from exceeding the limit set by a state under its 22 qualified tuition program (currently $320,000 for Iowa). 23 The bill also permits the treasurer of state to defer 24 implementation of the Iowa ABLE program and alternatively enter 25 into an agreement with another state’s qualified ABLE program 26 to provide Iowa residents access to that state’s program, if 27 certain requirements specified in the bill are satisfied. 28 The bill provides other various terms and conditions for 29 participation agreements, use and segregation of trust funds, 30 cancellation of agreements and refund of account balances, 31 and ownership rights in the trust. The bill provides that an 32 account may be claimed by the Iowa Medicaid program upon the 33 death of the designated beneficiary, in accordance with the 34 federal ABLE program. The bill requires the state treasurer to 35 -13- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 13/ 14
S.F. 490 prepare and submit audited financial reports to the governor 1 and general assembly, and further requires the state treasurer 2 to comply with any reporting requirements of the federal ABLE 3 program. The bill applies to qualified disability expenses 4 incurred on or after July 1, 2015. 5 IOWA TAX BENEFITS. The bill provides several tax benefits 6 under the trust. First, the value of any interest in the 7 trust or other contracted state’s qualified ABLE program 8 of a decedent who was an Iowa resident dying on or after 9 January 1, 2016, is excluded from the Iowa inheritance tax. 10 Second, contributions to the trust or other contracted state’s 11 qualified ABLE program made on or after January 1, 2016, on 12 behalf of a designated beneficiary who is an Iowa resident 13 are deductible from the Iowa individual income tax up to the 14 maximum amount allowed per beneficiary per year for purposes 15 of the Iowa educational savings plan trust in Code chapter 16 12D. For 2015, that amount is set at $3,163. Any amounts 17 refunded to a taxpayer from the cancellation of a participation 18 agreement or that are withdrawn for purposes other than the 19 payment of qualified disability expenses of the designated 20 beneficiary must be included in Iowa net income to the extent 21 they were previously deducted by the taxpayer or any other 22 person as a contribution. Third, income and earnings from the 23 trust or received by resident account owners from a contracted 24 state’s qualified ABLE program are exempt from the Iowa 25 individual income tax. The individual income tax benefits 26 apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016. 27 CONTINGENT IMPLEMENTATION. The implementation of the bill 28 is subject to an appropriation with the purpose of the trust 29 stated. 30 -14- LSB 1660SZ (2) 86 mm/sc 14/ 14
