House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the establishment of an individual income tax checkoff that allows taxpayers to donate all or a portion of their state income tax refund to the Grambling University National Alumni Association. This provision will take effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Taxpayers will be able to indicate their donation preference on their income tax return, and the amount designated for donation will reduce their refund accordingly.

The bill outlines that the donated funds will be managed by the secretary of the Department of Revenue and distributed to the Grambling University National Alumni Association in accordance with existing law (R.S. 47:120.37). Additionally, it specifies that no donation made under this provision will be deemed invalid due to the lack of an authentic act. This initiative aims to support the alumni association through voluntary contributions from taxpayers.
