  3 20                           EXPLANATION
  3 21    A property rehabilitation tax credit was enacted in the
  3 22 2000 Session that provided individual and corporate income tax
  3 23 credits to persons rehabilitating historical property.  This
  3 24 bill makes a number of changes in that tax credit.
  3 25    Current law limits the amount of credits that may be
  3 26 granted to $2.4 million per fiscal year.  The bill eliminates
  3 27 this cap.  The bill expands the availability of the credit to
  3 28 financial institutions that pay the franchise tax and
  3 29 insurance companies that pay the gross premiums tax.  The bill
  3 30 makes the tax credit transferable to another person or allows
  3 31 for any excess credit to be carried backward for one tax year
  3 32 or carried forward for 20 tax years.  The bill eliminates the
  3 33 refund provisions of the current law.
  3 34    The bill takes effect July 1, 2001, and applies to
  3 35 qualified rehabilitation costs incurred on or after that date.
