Under current law, a person may claim an income tax credit equal to 25 percent
of the qualified expenses to preserve or rehabilitate historic property that is used as
an owner-occupied personal residence. The SHS certifies those expenses.
Under this bill, for taxable years beginning in 2010, a person who is eligible to
claim the state income tax credit for preserving or rehabilitating historic property
may claim the state income tax credit in an amount equal to 30 percent of qualified
expenses, if the preserved or rehabilitated property is located in this state and the
SHS approves the preservation or rehabilitation. The SHS may charge and collect
a fee of $150 for certifying such expenses.
Under current law, if a person who claims the income tax credit for qualified
expenses to preserve or rehabilitate an owner-occupied personal residence sells the
property within five years from the date on which the preservation or rehabilitation
is completed, or if the SHS determines that the preservation or rehabilitation does
not comply with the standards established by the SHS, the person who claimed the
tax credit must pay to the state all, or a portion, of the amount of the credit that the
person received, depending on the date on which the person sold the property or on
the date on which the preservation or rehabilitation does not comply with SHS
standards.
Under this bill, if a person who claims the supplemental state income or
franchise tax credit for qualified expenses related to preserving or rehabilitating
historic property in this state sells the property within five years from the date on
which the preservation or rehabilitation is completed, or if the SHS determines that
the preservation or rehabilitation does not comply with the standards established by
the SHS, the person who claimed the tax credit must pay to the state all, or a portion,
of the amount of the credit that the person received, depending on the date on which
the person sold the property or the date on which the preservation or rehabilitation
does not comply with SHS standards.
Downtown development
Certification and promotion of downtowns
This bill requires Commerce to develop and publish guidelines to aid
communities in reconstructing central business districts that are destroyed or
severely damaged in major disasters. The bill also requires Commerce to promulgate
rules pursuant to which Commerce will certify downtowns. In addition, under the
bill, the Department of Tourism must promote travel to these certified downtowns
and to business areas that are or have been the subject of revitalization efforts under
the State Main Street Program.
Currently, the Building Commission (commission) submits biennial
recommendations to the legislature for revisions to the long-range state building
program. No state agency or authority may engage any person to undertake
construction of a building for the agency costing more than $100,000 without prior

approval of the commission. In addition, the commission has authority to lease land
and buildings to be used for state purposes unless that authority is granted by law
to another state agency.
This bill provides that the commission shall not authorize construction of any
state office building to be located outside of a downtown area certified by Commerce,
as required under the bill, unless the cost of locating the building inside such a
downtown area is more than 10 percent greater than the average cost of locating the
building outside the downtown areas of the territory that is served by the functions
to be performed in the building on the date of initial occupancy outside of such a
downtown area, as determined by the Department of Administration (DOA). The bill
also provides that the commission, in preparing its recommendations for the
long-range state building program, shall not recommend construction of a state
office building to be located outside of such a downtown area, unless the commission
would be authorized to permit construction of that building in the recommended
location. In addition, the bill prohibits the commission from approving the lease of
any building for state office facilities to be located outside of such a downtown area
unless the cost of locating the facilities inside such a downtown area is more than 10
percent greater than the average cost of locating the facilities outside the downtown
areas of the territory that is served by the functions to be performed in the facilities
on the date of initial occupancy under the lease outside of such a downtown area, as
determined by DOA.
This bill imposes additional requirements relating to highway projects that are
funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and that involve a highway in
a business area included in the State Main Street Program or in a downtown certified
by Commerce. First, DOT must consult, during preliminary stages of a proposed
highway project, on issues concerning the proposed project and its effect on the
business or certified downtown area with Commerce and, unless none exists, with
a local board or downtown planning organization of that municipality. Second, DOT
must, during the concept definition phase of the project, recognize the high visual
and aesthetic significance of, and impact related to, these types of highway projects
in evaluating the aesthetic and visual impact of the project.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
