Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new article, designated §11-13MM-1, §11-13MM-2, §11-13MM-3, §11-13MM-4, and §11-13MM-5, all relating to providing an income tax credit for lessors of real property leased to the state or other subdivision for recreational purposes. Eligible landowners in this state will receive a nonrefundable annual credit against taxes imposed on property leased to state agencies for recreational purposes. The amount of the tax credit is equal to the amount paid annually by the eligible Landowner. The Division of Natural Resources has entered into leases as a lessee, for recreational purposes as defined in §19-25-5 of the WV Code. However, the tax credit will be associated with the eligible landowner lessor and not the Division of Natural Resources. Therefore, this legislation will have no fiscal impact upon the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
