HB 2150: RELATING TO TAXATION.

HB 2150 removes a specific tax deduction for real estate investment trusts (REITs). It disallows REITs from deducting dividends they pay to shareholders when calculating their taxable income. This change directly affects REITs by increasing their taxable income and potentially raising their tax burden. The bill creates a concrete policy shift in how REITs are taxed under state law.
