Cis Tax Act


1. All Lincoln Individuals identifying as Cisgender shall have $0.24 added to their Income Tax Bill each year.

2. All Lincoln Individuals identifying as Straight shall have $0.24 added to their Income Tax Bill each year, in addition to the amount added by Section 1 if applicable.

3. If there is any ambiguity as to whether Section 1 or Section 2 applies to a given individual, it shall apply to them.

4. Revenues raised from this bill will go to a dedicated fund to provide governmental assistance to those seeking Gender Reassignment Surgery.

5. If someone changes their identity during the middle of a tax year in a way that changes what they would be charged under Section 1 or 2, they will instead be charged a prorated amount of $0.02 per month, or $0.01 per fortnight, for each time period in which they need  to be charged.

6. When filing taxes for income made in 2020, Residents will indicate their current identification for the purposes of Section 1 and 2. In the event someone has already filed taxes for income made in 2020, the IRS shall send them an additional form to obtain their identities. Residents will be able to update their identities at any time by calling, faxing, emailing, or a sending a letter to the IRS. No charges are applied for income made in 2020 or earlier.

7. For income made in 2021, the appropriate amount of money shall be charged according to the identity known on March 1, 2021 (For instance, if someone is known to be straight on March 1, 2021, $0.24 will be added to the tax liability due April 15, 2022), unless another identity is made clear later in 2021.

8. Charges will apply on a rolling basis for income made in 2022 or later.

9. Where not otherwise stated, the bill shall take immediate effect once signed by the Governor.  

Wulfric has another non serious proposal. Let's get this over with.

We're all familiar with Peebs's long advocacy for this and I feel it deserves a debate. I will support it in her honor.

I oppose this bill because it doesn't go far enough.

I'd hold off on withdrawing this, I've been very busy IRL, so I haven't had much time to comment, but I think this could be an interesting idea.

Okay, the Speaker didn't acknowledge anything, so I'll withdraw the withdrawal request and leave this on the floor.

Fair enough, we'll hold this for now.

As a former resident and friendly neighbor to Lincoln, I urge the legislature not to pass this. Unserious proposals are why you guys have a mess of a budget, a regressive tax code, and a poor reputation in general.

I can't tell Lincoln how to govern itself, but you guys aren't doing yourselves any favors with this type of stuff.

After considering several comments, I will not be supporting this in its current form.

I'm unsure where to go with this, I think we can make this into a broader bill supporting transgender rights, without the obvious constitutional issues.

I held off on commenting on this proposal because the sponsor seemed to recognize the absurdity of it and indicated an intent to withdraw it, but it seems that is no longer the case. This proposal is simply unworkable. If we want to pass legislation to support transgender rights or to provide new services to transgender individuals, let's craft, debate, and pass legislation to that effect rather than try to comb through the wreckage of this proposal, trying to turn it into something meaningful when the entire backbone of the proposal is more or less unworkable and absurd. We all agree the legislation in its current form should not pass, and the objectionable components are so essential to it as written that it would be simply more appropriate to craft different legislation to pursue the aims articulated by the Chancellor than to try and modify this proposal.

Just for the record, I wasn't serious when I said I supported this and I do not intend to sign it in its current form. I would advise that we either alter this to be more focused on supporting trans rights or table this.
