State on the last day of the taxable year, and every other
individual who, for more than six months of the taxable
year, maintained a place of abode within this State,
whether domiciled in this State or not; but any individual
who, on or before the last day of the taxable year, changes
his place of abode to a place without this State, with the
bona fide intention of continuing to abide permanently
without this State, shall be taxable as a resident of
this State for that portion of the taxable year in which he
was a resident of this State, as the term "resident" is
herein defined, and as a non-resident of the State for the
remainder of the taxable year. The fact that a person who
has changed his place of abode, within six months from so
doing, again resides within this State, shall be prima facie
evidence that he did not intend to have his place of abode
permanently without this State. Every individual other
than a resident shall be deemed a non-resident.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect June 1, 1949.

Approved April 29, 1949.
