To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove private or commercial golf courses and country clubs from the list of uses for which certain proceeds cannot be used.
HR 3124 removes a prohibition in the tax code that previously prevented certain tax-exempt bond proceeds from being used for private or commercial golf courses and country clubs. The bill amends Section 144 of the Internal Revenue Code by deleting the specific language barring these facilities from using such funds. This change directly affects private golf courses and country clubs by allowing them to access tax-exempt bond financing they were previously excluded from. The key mechanism is the straightforward deletion of the restriction from the tax code, with effective dates applying to new bond issuances and specific tax credit provisions after enactment.
