Current Bill Summary

SB 257 - Under current law, low-income housing tax credits are allowed over a ten-year period. Beginning January 1, 2012, this act reduces the period of time in which low-income housing tax credits are allowed to a five-year period and limits the total amount of low-income tax credits issued annually to no more than sixteen million dollars. After January 1, 2012, priority will be given, in the issuance of low-income housing tax credits, to taxpayers that have not received such credits within five years. The issuance of four percent low-income housing tax credits will be prohibited after January 1, 2012. The act also prohibits stacking low-income housing tax credits with historic preservation tax credits.
