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

    Sec. 83.  NEW SECTION.  12I.10  Implementation as a contracting state —— tax considerations.
   1.  The general assembly acknowledges that section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code permits access to qualified ABLE programs by residents of a state without such a program. The general assembly finds that becoming a contracting state may accomplish the public purpose set forth in section 12I.1, subsection 1, in the same manner as if the qualified ABLE program under the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust were to be implemented and administered by this state. To that end, the treasurer of state, as trustee of the trust, may defer implementation of the qualified ABLE program under the trust and alternatively cause this state to become a contracting state by entering into an agreement with another state with a qualified ABLE program to provide Iowa residents access to that state’s qualified ABLE program. The trust shall not enter into an agreement pursuant to this section unless the treasurer, as trustee of the trust, determines that all of the following requirements are satisfied:
   a.  The program is a qualified ABLE program.
   b.  The qualified ABLE program provides comparable benefits and protections to Iowa residents as would be provided under the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust.
   c.  That entering into an agreement for access to the qualified ABLE program would not result in increased costs to the state or to account owners and designated beneficiaries as compared to the costs of implementing and administering the qualified ABLE program under the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust.
   d.  The qualified ABLE program will be audited annually by an independent certified public accountant or by the state auditor, or similar public official, of the state that has implemented the qualified ABLE program.
   e.  The qualified ABLE program will provide information to the treasurer of state as trustee of the trust so as to allow the trustee to fulfill the reporting requirements in section 12I.7.
   2.  a.  The maximum amount that may be deducted per year for Iowa income tax purposes by an individual for contributions on behalf of any one designated beneficiary that is a resident of this state to the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to this section shall not exceed the maximum deductible amount determined for the year pursuant to section 12D.3, subsection 1, paragraph “a”.
   b.  State income tax treatment of the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to this section shall be as provided in section 422.7, subsections 34 and 34A.
   3.  State inheritance tax treatment of interests in the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to this section shall be as provided in section 450.4, subsection 9.
    Sec. 84.  NEW SECTION.  12I.11  Construction.

   This chapter shall be construed liberally in order to effectuate its purpose.

   NEW SUBSECTION.  34.  a.  Subtract the amount contributed during the tax year on behalf of a designated beneficiary that is a resident of this state to the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust or to the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to section 12I.10, not to exceed the maximum contribution level established in section 12I.3, subsection 1, paragraph “d”, or section 12I.10, subsection 2, paragraph “a”, as applicable.
   b.  Add the amount resulting from the cancellation of a participation agreement refunded to the taxpayer as an account owner in the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust or the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to section 12I.10 to the extent previously deducted pursuant to this subsection by the taxpayer or any other person as a contribution to the trust or qualified ABLE program.
   c.  Add the amount resulting from a withdrawal made by a taxpayer from the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust or the qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to section 12I.10 for purposes other than the payment of qualified disability expenses to the extent previously deducted pursuant to this subsection by the taxpayer or any other person as a contribution to the trust or qualified ABLE program.
   NEW SUBSECTION.  34A.  Subtract, to the extent included, income from interest and earnings received from the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust created in chapter 12I, or received by a resident account owner from a qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to section 12I.10.
    Sec. 86.  Section 450.4, Code 2015, is amended by adding the following new subsection:
   NEW SUBSECTION.  9.  On the value of any interest in the Iowa ABLE savings plan trust created in chapter 12I, or any interest held by a resident account owner in a qualified ABLE program with which the state has contracted pursuant to section 12I.10.
    Sec. 87.  CONTINGENT IMPLEMENTATION.  The implementation of chapter 12I as enacted in this division of this Act is subject to an appropriation with the stated purpose of the Iowa ABLE Savings Plan Trust.
    Sec. 88.  APPLICABILITY.  The section of this division of this Act amending section 450.4 applies to estates of decedents dying on or after January 1, 2016.
