Explanation
(This amendment modifies language contained in House Bill 1400 as introduced relating to the Land Preservation Tax Credit. The changes are intended to reflect the impact of House Bill 1828, which limits the rate at which tax credits can be redeemed and reduces the aggregate cap on credits. Like the proposal contained in House Bill 1400, for tax years 2015 and 2016 the amount of the tax credit claimed by any individual may not exceed $20,000 in a given year and 13 years is provided to utilize the credits. Beginning in tax year 2017, the individual usage cap would increase to $50,000. Today it is capped at $100,000. Also included is a reduction in the aggregate annual credits issued, from $100 million to $85 million.)
