Caption

A bill for an act relating to the Hoover presidential library tax credit available against the individual and corporate income taxes, the franchise tax, the insurance premiums tax, and the moneys and credits tax.(See HF 703.)

Impact

The bill will extend the eligibility for claiming this tax credit by one additional tax year, allowing taxpayers to benefit through tax year 2024, with an extended repeal date set for December 31, 2030. This extension is deemed significant as it aligns with current tax provisions that allow for carryforward of unused tax credits for up to five years. The measure is expected to encourage more philanthropy towards the Hoover foundation, boosting funds for essential renovations and maintenance of the library.

Summary

House Study Bill 123 is designed to amend existing tax law relating to the Hoover presidential library by extending the tax credit available for donations to the library's renovation project. Specifically, the bill allows individuals and corporations to claim a tax credit equal to 25% of their donations made to the Hoover presidential foundation. This credit applies against various state taxes, including individual and corporate income taxes, franchise taxes, and insurance premiums taxes. The bill aims to continue supporting the preservation and renovation of the library and museum, thus acknowledging the historical significance of Herbert Hoover's presidency.

Contention

There may be some contention regarding the fiscal implications of extending this tax credit. While proponents argue that the credit incentivizes donations to a culturally and historically important institution, critics may question the effectiveness of tax credits in driving charitable donations, suggesting that such initiatives might come at a cost to the state's overall tax base. The discussion surrounding the bill could explore these fiscal ramifications further, as well as the equity of offering tax benefits to certain sectors while potentially overlooking critical funding for other community needs.
