' New law proposed to ease bankruptcy The dramatic increase of 131 percent in the number of estates filing for bankruptcy in Utah (for the 1980 fiscal year may be eased by a new law to be proposed to the 1981 General Session of the Utah Legislature. This was pointed out by Utah Foundation in a study of bankruptcy procedures in Utah. The private research organization noted that the Interim Judicial Study Committee of the Legislb ture will propose a revision to the law on exemptions from execution from legal proceedings. This proposed law would affect bankruptcy in Utah in two ways: 1. the proposal would preempt most of the federal bankruptcy exemption provisions, so that only Utah law would affect Utahns, and 2. the modernization of the current provisions would provide a debtor with exemptions concurrent with existing values. Bankruptcy procedure is based on federal law' and administered by federal courts. Exemptions from execution are the only area of state jurisdiction and are currently open to a choice by the debtor of either the federal or the state exemptions. These exemptions are the money and property which legally cannot be taken away from - a person during a bankruptcy or other legal procedure. Utah Foundation analysts report that a new federal bankruptcy law, which took effect at the beginning of the 1979-8- 0 fiscal year, greatly increased the exemption provisions. For example, under the federal law, a husband and wife filing jointly may keep well over $15,000 and pay their creditors nothing, Utah residents may choose from either the Utah exemptions or the more liberal federal exemptions. Many obser- vers claim that the federal exemptions have contributed to the great of filinss. In addition to the general 131 percent increase in filings in Utah since the new federal law took im-ren- effect, there have been even greater increases in certain types of filings. Business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the federal law are up 288 percent and personal rehabilitation plans under Chapter 13 are up 662 percent, according to Utah's Bankruptcy Court, Utah Founda- tion reported. The report compares the provisions under the current state and federal laws and the proposed revised Utah law. Foundation analysts point out that if the proposed state law on exemptions from execution were passed, most of the federal provisions would be preempted and replaced by more realistic state provisions. This change could lessen the number of bankruptcy filings. The proposal of the Interim Judicial Study Committee is designed to help Utah Foundation analysts say that there are many reasons given for the tremendous rise in bankruptcy in Utah during the past year. Divorce, credit changes, the recession, lawyer advertising, and the new federal law are all mentioned as reasons. The report points out that the two major reasons given for this rise in bankruptcy probably are: 1. the l current recession, and 2. the law. There is not much Utah can do about the nation's economic status. However, the Legislature of Utah can help halt the escalating effect of the new federal law in the state by forbidding the use of most federal exemptions and replacing them with realistic state exemption provisions. new-federa- Utah income lower - Utah taxes higher Per capita personal income in Utah is lower than all but five .states while the percent of income taken in state and local taxes is higher than 36 states, according to the Utah Taxpayers Association. In a study of census bureau figures just released, the tax watchdog organization revealed that in 1979, the average Utahns income ranked 45th of the 50 states while the percent of that relatively small amount of income left after state and local taxes ranked . 14th. In other words, Utah's tax burden is relatively high while our earnings are the UTA said. relatively low, Utah state and local taxes took 11.19 percent of personal income in 1979 while the national average was 10.64 percent. Alaska was high, taking 22.69 percent of personal income in state and local taxes. while lexas was low, extracting only ,10.64 percent of earnings. Mississippi, Only five states Arkansas, Alabama, Maine and South Carolina have lower per capita personal income than Utah yet four of these states (the southern ones) have tax burdens when compared with the rest of the nation. Their small tax burdens help compensate for low earnings. Not so in Utah, the rock-botto- m Taxpayers Association reported. In 1978, Utah ranked 19th nationally in the amount of state and local tax collections per $1,000 of personal income. The Beehive state has jumped to 13th place in the 1979 figures. Governments in Utah collected $126.65 in taxes for every $1,000 of income in 1978. That figure increased to $128.18 in 1979. Nationally, the figure dropped from $127.53 in 1978 to $120.29 in 1979. . Utah's state and local taxes have been increasing faster than our ability to pay while nationally, state and local taxes have dropped in relation to income. The picture is not favorable, the UTA said. t Between fiscal years 1978 and Utah's per capita taxes have increased more than twice the rate of the nation while our growth in per capita personal income has iagged behind the national average. Utah's state and local taxes per person increased 10.6 percent while the U.S. average increased only 5'.2 percent. At the same time, per capita personal income grew 9.0 percent in the Beehive state and 11.7 percent in the nation. Based on personal income, Utah's state income taxes are 1 1th highest of the fifty states, property taxes are 25th highest and sales taxes are 8th highest. 1979 Summit County election results no surprizes -- There were few surprises in the Summit County elections?
