Bill overview
This bill aims to grant the District of Columbia the same tax benefits currently available to designated Empowerment Zones. Specifically, it amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat a portion of the District of Columbia as an Empowerment Zone, based on the area that best meets the criteria for designation. This extension would allow the District to utilize these tax incentives, potentially boosting economic development within the city. The changes would take effect starting in 2026.
