What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit in an amount equal to 10

percent of the amount that a taxpayer pays in a taxable year for equipment used

exclusively to harvest or process woody biomass that is used as fuel or as a component

of fuel. If the credit amount exceeds the amount of the taxpayer's tax liability, the

taxpayer will receive a refund.
