2020 Senate Bill 723

Restrict certain tax increment financing extensions

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 15, 2020

Introduced by Sen. Rick Outman (R-33)

To require every unit of government that has property tax collections “captured” by a tax increment financing authority (TIFA) to approve any extension of the duration of these “captures” if the scheme funds a project that generates revenue, and less than half of that revenue is used to retire the debt incurred to create it. A TIFA "captures" the “increment” of extra local property tax revenue that supposedly will result from spending borrowed money on various subsidies and projects.

Referred to the Committee on Economic and Small Business Development
