SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Joint Memorial 47 requests that the Taxation and Revenue Department and the Historic
Preservation Division of the Cultural Affairs Department study the possibility of expanding eli-
gibility for the state income and corporate income tax credit for historic properties to persons
making donations to rehabilitate historic properties to not-for-profit organizations or to state and
local governments that own eligible properties. The study would examine feasibility, legal
status, practical application and fiscal impact of expanding the tax credit. The two departments
would be required to report to the appropriate interim committee of the legislature the findings
and recommendations no later than November 2005.
