What changed between versions

Senate Committee Substitute → Perfected · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill was refined from a committee substitute to its perfected version, with minor formatting adjustments and one substantive addition to the definition of 'qualified converted building.' The change expands eligibility by allowing buildings used by owner-occupants for office purposes to qualify for tax credits, in addition to buildings leased to office tenants. This broadens the range of properties that can benefit from downtown revitalization tax incentives.
Scope change
The bill's scope was slightly expanded to include owner-occupied office buildings in the definition of qualified converted buildings, making more properties eligible for tax credits.
ELIGIBILITY

Added 'or utilized for office purposes by the owner-occupant' to the definition of qualified converted buildings, allowing owner-occupied office buildings to qualify for tax credits in addition to those leased to office tenants.
