What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority administers a low-income housing tax credit program. Under that program, a person may claim as a credit against the person's income or franchise tax liability, or against the person's liability for fees imposed on an insurer, the amount allocated by WHEDA in an “allocation certificate” for a qualified low-income housing project. The annual amount of tax credits WHEDA certifies under the program may not exceed $42,000,000. The bill increases that annual cap to $100,000,000.
The bill also requires that WHEDA, if possible, ensure that at least 35 percent of the tax credits it allocates each year under the program are for qualified low-income housing projects in rural areas in Wisconsin and removes the requirement that a qualified low-income housing project be financed with tax-exempt bonds.

Finally, the bill makes a technical change to the credit for insurers so that an insurer who is a shareholder of a tax-option corporation, a partner of a partnership, or a member of a limited liability company may claim the credit.
