Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Longer tourism incentive window with annual cap

Beginning November 1, 2025, approved tourism companies have more time to qualify for tax credits or incentive payments. The deadline for granting new incentive rights moves from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2032. Companies with Commerce project agreements signed before that deadline can keep claiming authorized benefits until their agreements expire. Total incentives statewide cannot exceed $30 million each year. This is a program-wide cap, not a set payment to any company or household.
