The Raleigh Report
From the Office of Cullie Tarleton
July 26, 2010
In recent years, North Carolina lawmakers have started to think more about our state’s energy policies. I am a member of the House Energy Committee and was one of the Co-Chairs of the House Environment and Natural Resources Committee for this session so I can attest to this. These efforts not only help us save money, but also help us conserve our resources and reduce our dependence on foreign oil and other energy sources from outside of our nation.
We made a number of important steps forward in this effort in this past session and I am pleased to share the highlights of our work with you.
Thank you as always for your interest in state government. If you have any questions about this information or anything else that I can help with, please contact me. I can be reached at culliet@ncleg.net or 828-295-3353. I am always glad to be of service.
Energy
Legislation that will promote the use of renewable energy by extending the credit for constructing renewable fuel facilities and the credit for biodiesel producers has been ratified by the General Assembly and sent to Gov. Perdue to be signed into law (HB 1829). Among other things, the bill will also revise the tax credit for investing in renewable energy property and reinstate and expand the tax credit for a renewable energy property facility.
The sunset on some economic incentives would be extended under a bill that has been ratified by the General Assembly and sent to Gov. Perdue to be signed into law (HB 1973). These economic incentives include a credit for constructing renewable fuel facilities, a credit for small business employee health benefits, and a credit for biodiesel producers, among others. Once enacted, the legislation will also provide an enhanced incentive for jobs in high unemployment counties.
