Read the full explanation
The bill amends the repeal date of the renewable chemical production tax credit from January 1, 2039, to January 1, 2032, and of the sustainable aviation fuel tax credit from January 1, 2037, to January 1, 2031. The bill provides that the repeal of a tax credit shall not affect tax credits issued, awarded, or allowed prior to January 1, 2032, or affect a taxpayer’s ability to claim or redeem such tax credits, including but not limited to any tax credit carryforward amount, and further provides that the bill shall not constitute grounds for rescission or modification of agreements entered into for a tax credit, and that such agreements shall remain in effect until they expire under their own terms and shall be governed by the applicable provisions of law as they existed immediately prior to January 1, 2032.16 for submission to the legislative services agency to implement the repeal of the tax credits. DIVISION II —— FUTURE REPEAL OF FUTURE TAX CREDIT PROGRAMS. Division II provides that any tax credit program available against the individual or corporate income tax, the franchise tax, the insurance premiums tax, or the moneys and credits tax, enacted by the general assembly on or after January 1, 2027, is repealed after five years, unless another provision of law provides for an earlier repeal date. The bill provides that the repeal of a tax credit program pursuant to this provision shall not affect the tax credits or tax credit agreements entered into prior to the repeal of the tax credit program in the same manner as described above for the repeal of the existing tax credits.
