HR 9921: American Shipyard Investment Act of 2026

The American Shipyard Investment Act of 2026 creates a new tax credit to encourage investment in U.S. shipyards that build or repair commercial and military vessels. This credit allows taxpayers to deduct 25 percent of their qualified investments in these facilities from their taxes, increasing to 35 percent for projects located in designated economic zones. The law defines eligible investments as property used for constructing, repairing, or manufacturing parts for ships and sets a deadline of December 31, 2033, for when the property must be put into service. Additionally, the bill permits businesses to transfer unused tax credits to other entities and provides an exemption from a specific alternative tax on shipping activities.

This Pennsylvania bill creates a new tax incentive to encourage the installation of green infrastructure, such as rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable pavement, on properties within the state. It defines "green infrastructure" as stormwater management practices that reduce or reuse runoff and sets rules for claiming a tax credit based on qualified costs like design, materials, and installation. To receive the credit, taxpayers must complete a certified project and submit detailed documentation to the Department of Revenue, while excluding costs covered by grants or routine maintenance. The legislation also updates the legal definition of "tax credit" to include this new program alongside existing state tax benefits.
