The amended version still <br />clarifies and expands the business energy tax credit (BETC) in positive ways and now <br />includes industrial process energy efficiency improvements and plug-in hybrid electric <br />vehicles and related equipment. <br />The clarifications include: a definition for "hydroelectric generating system"; <br />clarifications related to biofuel, biomass, and alternative fuel vehicles; and minor <br />modifications to the rule procedures and criteria related to the BETC program. <br />The only potential negative that I see is a new requirement that the tax credit must be <br />transferred within the “tax year” in which it originated. That may reduce our flexibility <br />and timing for finding pass-through partners. Overall, this bill makes some positive <br />changes to a very successful tax credit program and the City should support it in my <br />opinion. <br />HB 2401 A <br />Relating Clause: Relating to assault <br />Expands crime of assault in the third degree to include assault with dangerous substance <br />Title: <br />on public safety officer. <br />2 <br />
