AI Summary

  • Amends the Commercial Redevelopment Act to add tax incentives for LEED-certified facilities, which are exempt from standard application requirements under the act.

  • Commercial facilities exemption certificates remain in force for 1-12 years as determined by local legislative bodies, with possible extensions not exceeding 12 years total after facility completion.

  • LEED-certified facilities are taxed based on a tiered percentage system: 80% for basic certification, 70% for silver, 60% for gold, and 50% for platinum LEED certification.

  • For restored facilities, the commercial facilities tax is calculated on the pre-improvement property value; for new or replacement facilities, it is calculated on 50% of current mill rates plus full state education tax.

  • Facilities located in renaissance zones are exempt from commercial facilities taxes, and commercial facilities taxes paid to school districts are redirected to the state school aid fund.
