Exempts poll workers' income from state income tax and mandates awareness and reporting guidelines.

This bill amends the tax law to exempt a portion of poll workers' income from state income tax. Specifically, the first $1,000 of income earned by a resident individual while working as a poll worker on an election day is exempt, regardless of federal taxation. For those with an annual income below three times the federal poverty level, all income earned as a poll worker is exempt. The bill also requires the board of elections, in conjunction with the department of taxation and finance, to conduct a public awareness campaign to inform poll workers of this tax exemption.
