What changed between versions

HB1143 HB1143_HD1 · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a draft version (HB1143) to a House of Representatives version (HB1143_HD1) with significant structural changes. The most substantive addition is a new Section 3 establishing a sunset date of December 31, 2030, and an effective date of July 1, 3000 (likely a placeholder error). The House version also added blank dollar cap fields for tax years 2025-2030 that were previously filled with $1,000,000 amounts, and added a new subsection (h) requiring the director to prepare forms for claiming the credit.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on creating a state historic preservation income tax credit, but the House version introduces a sunset provision and modifies the implementation timeline.
