TERC hears LBO reports on small-brewer credits, lawful gambling and residential utility tax expenditures
Summary
On Dec. 10 the Tax Expenditure Review Commission heard three Legislative Budget Office evaluation reports: credits for small brewers/wineries/microdistilleries, lawful gambling tax expenditures, and residential heating fuels/water/sewer services; Commission members questioned analysts and will consider these items in January votes.
The Tax Expenditure Review Commission received three evaluation presentations from the Legislative Budget Office at its Dec. 10 meeting, covering tax credits and exemptions that the Commission will consider during January 2026 votes.
Jordan Peoples, Program Evaluator with the Legislative Budget Office, and Vlad Fleurimond, Economist with the LBO, presented the LBO evaluation of the Credit for Small Brewers, Small Wineries, and Microdistilleries. The presentation summarized the LBO's analysis and findings; Commission members followed with questions and discussion about the implications for program continuation, repeal or modification.
Thomas Raney and Annie Lemieux, both Program Evaluators with the LBO, presented the evaluation of Lawful Gambling tax expenditures. Commissioners questioned the analysts and discussed the material during the meeting.
Jordan Peoples (Program Evaluator) and Carlos GFCereca (Lead Analyst) presented the LBO evaluation of Residential Heating Fuels and residential Water and Sewer Services tax expenditures; Commission members again engaged with the analysts about evaluation results and implementation considerations.
None of the three presentations included a formal Commission vote at the Dec. 10 meeting; the Commission recorded that members would use the LBO evaluations as the basis for votes to continue, repeal, or modify the tax expenditures at the scheduled Jan. 15, 2026 meeting.
