Bill Description: Senate Bill 1057 would apply Idaho's child tax credit to preborn children. 

Rating: +2

Does it directly or indirectly create or increase any taxes, fees, or other assessments? Conversely, does it eliminate or reduce any taxes, fees, or other assessments?

Senate Bill 1057 would amend Section 63-3029L, Idaho Code, to apply Idaho's existing nonrefundable $205 income tax credit for "each qualifying child" to preborn children. This means the credit would apply to a child in the womb, not only those already born. Depending on when in the tax year a child is conceived, this could reduce the family's taxes by up to $205.

Does it promote the breakdown of the traditional family or the deconstruction of societal norms? Examples include promoting or incentivizing degeneracy, violating parental rights, and compromising the innocence of children. Conversely, does it protect or uphold the structure, tenets, and traditional values of Western society?

In addition to extending to families a small tax savings, Senate Bill 1057 would uphold foundational principles by helping to properly align Idaho code to consistently recognize that life begins at conception. This means that personhood and all its associated rights (and tax credits) begin at conception rather than at birth.
