10:26 AM -- HB17-1091



The committee was called to order. A quorum was present. Representative Wilson, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 17-1091. As amended in the House Business and Labor Committee, this bill creates an income tax credit for taxpayers who provide donations to non-profit sponsors of employer-assisted housing projects in rural areas of the state for tax years 2018 through 2021. The credit is calculated as 50 percent of the amount donated to a sponsor to be used for costs associated with employer-assisted housing projects for employees with adjusted incomes of less than 120 percent of area median household income. The credit is nonrefundable, meaning it is limited to the taxpayer's income tax liability. Any remaining credits may be carried forward for up to five years.



Committee members received a memorandum assessing the fiscal impact of proposed amendment L.002 (Attachment A). Representative Wilson explained amendment L.002 (included in Attachment A). He responded to questions from the committee.
