House Bill No. by Representative Lyons amends existing tax law to ensure that the income tax checkoff for donations to the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence is permanently inscribed on individual income tax forms. The bill modifies R.S. 47:120.37(B) by adding R.S. 47:120.341, which stipulates that the checkoff will not be removed even if the total donations fall below $10,000 for two consecutive years, as is the case for other checkoff options.

The intent of this legislation is to provide consistent support for the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence by making it easier for taxpayers to contribute through their income tax returns. The proposed law retains the existing framework for tax checkoffs while specifically exempting this particular donation from the removal criteria, thereby ensuring its continued presence on tax forms.
