Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act
This bill modifies tax code to help businesses in disaster-affected areas use unused tax credits. It allows businesses operating in qualified disaster zones (federally declared after 2023 or state-recognized under specific criteria) to treat certain carried-over tax credits as transferrable credits for eligible expenses. Eligible expenses include costs for business operations in these areas within two years of the disaster declaration. The change applies to tax years ending after the bill's enactment, making it easier for affected businesses to access credit benefits they previously couldn't utilize.
