What’s in it

This bill reduces the solar energy system tax credit wait list by reducing authorized aggregate tax credits for certain economic development programs. Currently, the cumulative value of solar energy system tax credits claimed is annually capped at $5 million. The bill allows the cumulative value of tax credits claimed annually to exceed the $5 million cap amount until such time the wait list for the tax credit is eliminated. The amount of tax credits that may be claimed in excess of the $5 million cap shall equal the amount of tax credits placed on the wait list, but shall not exceed $7 million over the cap.
