The Drop Legislative Bill
Tennessee bill would drop legislative approval for housing tax credits
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 13-23-134 and Chapter 971 of the Public Acts of 2024, relative to tax credits.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would let the state give rural and workforce housing tax credits without a joint resolution, making it easier for developers to get money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see more housing projects if developers get quicker tax breaks, but the state may lose revenue and lose a check on how credits are awarded.
