An Act relative to a green vendor tax credit

HD 1595 creates tax credits for restaurants meeting specific environmental standards. Restaurants certified as "Green" by the Department of Environmental Protection can earn a $5,000 tax credit upon certification, plus up to $5,000 annually for three years if they use reusable dishes, utensils, and bulk condiments while providing dine-in or take-out service (with items like napkins only provided upon request). Counties with enough certified restaurants can become "Green Dining Destinations" for promotional use, and state agencies must prefer certified restaurants when booking meals. Only 250 restaurants can claim the credit each year, with existing certified restaurants getting priority over new applicants.
