The Oyster Shell Bill
Alabama proposes tax credit for oyster shell recycling
Taxation; to establish an income tax credit for oyster shell recycling
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would let people or businesses get a tax credit for recycling oyster shells, lowering the amount of state tax they owe.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the credit could encourage more shell recycling, helping the environment and the oyster industry, but it also reduces tax revenue that could fund other services.
