Committee clears repeal of obsolete wind-turbine tax credit created in 2012
Summary
House Bill 1205 removes statutory language authorizing a now-expired wind-turbine tax credit enacted in 2012; sponsors described the move as statutory cleanup and the committee passed it unanimously.
House Bill 1205, a statutory cleanup measure to repeal an unused wind-turbine tax credit created in 2012, passed the Revenue and Taxation Committee on a 10-0 vote.
Sponsor Senator Bullock told the committee the wind-turbine credit included a 10-year carryover when enacted in 2012, meaning the last year it could have been used was 2022. No taxpayers have sought to use the credit recently, the sponsor said, so the bill removes the obsolete language from state law.
Committee members asked whether repeal would affect anyone currently receiving the credit. Senator Mann noted the bill does not remove any currently valid credits and would not retroactively cut benefits for taxpayers who remain within an active carryover period; the sponsor confirmed that no one is currently using the credit.
The committee recorded a unanimous do-pass recommendation (10 ayes, 0 nays). The bill’s text does not cite a specific statute number in the committee discussion; the measure was described as cleanup of 2012 tax-credit language.
