§11-21-12d. Additional modification reducing federal adjusted gross income.
In addition to amounts authorized to be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income pursuant to subsection (c), section twelve of this article, any person who retires under an employer-provided defined benefit pension plan that terminates prior to or after the retirement of that person and the pension plan is covered by a guarantor whose maximum benefit guarantee is less than the maximum benefit to which the retiree was entitled had the plan not terminated may subtract annually from his or her federal adjusted income a sum equal to the difference in the amount of the maximum annual pension benefit the person would have received for such tax year had the plan not terminated and the maximum annual pension benefit actually received from the guarantor under a benefit guarantee plan: Provided, That if the Tax Commissioner determines that this adjustment reduces the revenues of the state by two million dollars or more in any one year, then the Tax Commissioner shall reduce the percentage of the reduction to a level at which the commissioner believes will reduce the cost of the adjustment to two million dollars for the next year. This tax adjustment shall be effective for taxable years beginning on and after the first day of January, two thousand eight: Provided, however, That for the taxable year two thousand seven, the tax adjustment shall be effective and shall apply retroactively: Provided further, That the adjustment shall terminate for the tax years on or after the first day of January, two thousand twelve. This modification is available regardless of the type of return form filed.
