Bill > HR3017

This bill, the Renewable Energy Construction and Investment Parity Act of 2013, amends the Internal Revenue Code to extend tax credits for the construction of certain renewable energy properties, including solar energy, fuel cell, microturbine, combined heat and power systems, small wind energy, and thermal energy properties, provided their construction begins before January 1, 2017. To offset the potential revenue loss from these extended tax credits, the bill mandates that any money received from the sale of crude helium under the Helium Act will be deposited into the U.S. Treasury's general fund, which will then be used to reduce the federal budget deficit or the national debt.
