2525 That chapter 229 of the general statutes be amended to provide that the amount of personal income taxes paid on that portion of Connecticut adjusted gross income equal to the taxpayer's unearned income includable in gross income for federal tax purposes shall be analyzed by the Department of Revenue Services to calculate a base amount of revenue representing the personal income tax paid on unearned income. Effective January 1, 2017, any personal income tax paid on unearned income that is greater than the calculated base amount shall be segregated from the General Fund, and shall be used to (1) increase the amount in the Budget Reserve Fund, (2) provide debt service payments that are in excess of the amounts currently due, or (3) provide pension payments that are in excess of annual required contribution. In each year following 2017, the amount to be segregated shall be based on the amount of personal income tax paid on unearned income that is greater than the amount collected the previous year.
