2 29 EXPLANATION
2 30 This bill relates to certain tax incentives by requiring
2 31 data collection modifying requirements for city and county
2 32 budgets, and creating a reporting committee.
2 33 Currently, a research activities tax credit is allowed
2 34 under the high quality job creation program. The bill
2 35 requires the department of revenue to develop a system for
3 1 collecting data related to tax credits of $5,000 or more
3 2 claimed under the program.
3 3 The bill requires cities and counties to include as part of
3 4 their annual budgeting procedure a tax increment financing
3 5 budget. The bill provides that the tax increment financing
3 6 budget, wherever practicable, shall include estimated and
3 7 actual tax increment financing revenues and all estimated and
3 8 actual expenditures of the revenues, proceeds from debt and
3 9 all of the expenditure of debt proceeds, and identification of
3 10 any entity receiving a direct tax increment financing rebate
3 11 of taxes. The bill requires the tax increment financing
3 12 budget, wherever practicable to show comparisons between the
3 13 levels of service provided by each program as estimated for
3 14 the following year, and actual levels of service provided by
3 15 each program during the two preceding years.
3 16 The bill requires an industrial new jobs training tax
3 17 incentives reporting committee to be formed consisting of two
3 18 representatives of the department of economic development, two
3 19 representatives of community colleges, and two representatives
3 20 of the department of revenue. The bill requires the committee
3 21 to study the reporting of information related to tax
3 22 incentives received pursuant to Code chapter 260E. By
3 23 December 31, 2007, the bill requires the committee to submit a
3 24 written report to the general assembly which shall include but
3 25 not be limited to a proposed system for collecting data for
3 26 tax incentives received pursuant to Code chapter 260E.
