Description
SB 13 (and its companion HB 26) would have extended the existing tax credit for the installation of commercial, residential and agricultural solar systems that is set to expire December 31, 2016. It provided for gradually phasing out of the tax credit over 8 years. This tax credit has helped many New Mexicans invest in solar energy for their homes, businesses and farms, improving the environment and public health by reducing the demand for coal-fired electricity.
Outcome
SB 13 died in the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee. HB 26 died in the House Ways and Means Committee.
