Apparently the bill has 11 sponsors, all democrats. Given the makeup of the legislature and who is governor, I'd guess this is DOA for this year.

In terms of details, it sets the rate at 4% after this year and exempts $50k of income per person (instead of $2400 under old rules).

Given the high exemption (I guess $100k for couple), I wonder how much revenue this version of the tax would actually raise.
