Homeownership Tax Credit Bill Expected Shortly
Article Date - April.15.2005
Rep. Rob Portman (R-OH) is expected to reintroduce his homeownership tax credit legislation this week. The bill attracted more than 300 cosponsors in the 108th Congress. Additionally, Sens. Rick Santorum (R-PA), Gordon Smith (R-OH) and John Kerry (D-MA) plan to unveil a Senate version of the homeownership tax credit proposal in the near future. In the previous Congress, the senators introduced competing versions of the measure that collectively garnered the support of more than half the Senate members. The legislation to be introduced shortly is a compromise measure that will allow the Senate to unite behind one bill. Gaining cosponsors for both bills will be an agenda item for NAHB's Legislative Conference next month.
