HB 424 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Taxes - As introduced, urges the department of revenue to study the potential economic impact of making all franchise and excise tax credits transferable to any person or entity other than the entity to whom or to which the credits are initially made available pursuant to the statute creating the credit; requires the department to report to the finance, ways and means committee of the senate and the committee in the house of representatives having jurisdiction over tax-related matters on or before January 1, 2026 if such study is conducted. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 4, Part 20 and Title 67, Chapter 4, Part 21.

HB 424 requests the Tennessee Department of Revenue to study whether making franchise and excise tax credits transferable to entities other than the original recipient would affect the state's economy. If the study is conducted, the department must report its findings to tax committees by January 1, 2026. The bill does not change current tax law but asks for research before any potential policy shift. It applies directly to how tax credits are administered, without altering existing credit rules.
