Senate amendment #1 makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Amends proposed GS 115C-268.5 (Powers and duties of the Commission), adding to the Professional Educator Preparation and Standards Commission's duties set out in subdivision (a)(1). Requires the Commission to include appropriate courses to be used for the calculation of individual and cohort GPAs for admission to educator preparation programs (EPPs), which can account for prior degrees attained, type of license, and areas of licensure, in the rules the Commission is required to develop and recommend to the State Board of Education pertaining to EPPs. Makes organizational changes.

Adds new subsection (c) to proposed GS 115C-269.15 (Minimum admissions requirements for educator preparation programs).

Makes conforming changes to subsection (b), making the admissions requirements in subsection (b) applicable to admissions into an EPP in a program leading to licensure in any area other than career and technical education.

S 628 (2017-2018) VARIOUS CHANGES TO THE REVENUE LAWS. Filed Apr 4 2017, AN ACT TO MAKE VARIOUS CHANGES TO THE REVENUE LAWS.

Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Amends GS 105-228.5(d)(3), setting forth an additional tax on property coverage contracts, to clarify that the additional tax imposed on property coverage contracts is a special purpose assessment based on gross premiums and not a gross premiums tax.

Provides the following clarifications: the gross premiums tax is a tax imposed on the gross premiums of insurers, Article 65 corporations, health maintenance organizations, and selfäóïinsurers; entities subject to the gross premiums tax are not subject to franchise or income taxes; and in SL 2009äóï548, the General Assembly broadened the taxes against which the business and energy tax credits could be taken from income and franchise taxes to income, franchise, and gross premiums taxes.

Further provides: that the gross premiums tax rate is set in GS 105äóï228.5(d)(1) and (2); separate and apart from the gross premiums taxes, GS 105äóï228.5(d)(3) imposes an additional tax that is calculated using a person's gross premiums but is not considered part of the gross premiums tax imposition; the Department of Revenue has historically administered the gross premiums tax and the additional tax imposed under GS 105äóï228.5 as two separate and distinct taxes and, satisfied with this administration, the General Assembly did not address the separate treatment of the two taxes in SL 2009äóï548; and it is the intent of this provision to further clarify for taxpayers the accuracy and to endorse the Department's interpretation of the current and continuing state of the law by expressly codifying the longäóïstanding interpretation of the additional tax imposed by GS 105äóï228.5(d)(3) as a separate and distinct tax that is based upon gross premiums but is not a gross premiums tax.
