2007 House Bill 4258

Authorize “green energy” tax credits

Introduced in the House

Feb. 13, 2007

Introduced by Rep. John Moolenaar (R-98)

To authorize a $100 income tax credit against the difference between what a person pays for choosing electric power generated from a “renewable energy resource” that meets certain “environmental standards,” and what the person would pay for electricity generated from conventional sources. (Although termed “renewable,” the “green energy programs” specified in the bill generally do not include nuclear power.) Utilities would be required to provide the cost differential on a customer’s statement.

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology
