AI Summary

This bill, the Local Infrastructure Financing Tools (LIFT) Act, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide a credit to issuers of "American infrastructure bonds" - bonds used to finance capital expenditures or operations and maintenance for infrastructure projects. The bill sets the credit percentage at 42-30% of the interest payable, depending on the year of issuance. It also allows for the advance refunding of certain bonds and permanently increases the small issuer exception for tax-exempt interest expense allocation rules for financial institutions from $10 million to $30 million. Overall, the bill seeks to incentivize infrastructure investment through tax credits and financing mechanisms.
