H 943: TAXATION – Adds to existing law to provide certain tax and other incentives to entities that build new pipelines in Idaho.

This bill creates a new tax incentive program to encourage companies to build new oil and gas pipelines into Idaho, aiming to improve the state's energy supply security. It defines "strategic pipeline infrastructure projects" as new pipelines crossing from another state or nation into Idaho with at least $50 million in investment, excluding replacements of existing lines. Developers qualifying for the program would receive a 35% income tax credit on revenue generated by the pipeline, along with exemptions from property taxes and sales taxes on equipment used in construction. The bill also provides regulatory relief by exempting these projects from additional state permitting requirements and requiring state agencies to expedite federal review processes where applicable. These incentives are set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and apply only to projects that deliver crude oil or refined petroleum products to Idaho customers.
