## Summary

**Doubles the orphan drug tax credit to 50%** so eligible taxpayers would get a larger tax offset for qualifying orphan drug costs. The bill would amend Section 45C(a) of the Internal Revenue Code by replacing the current 25% credit rate with a 50% rate. This change would apply to taxable years beginning after enactment. The text does not alter eligibility rules, definitions, administration, or enforcement for the credit. The direct effect is to increase the tax credit available for qualified orphan drug expenditures.
