HR 3322 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Solid American Hardwood Tax Credit Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the energy efficient home improvement credit to include a credit for natural carbon sinks, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill amends the tax code to add a new credit for homeowners who purchase and install certain wood products made from American deciduous trees. The credit covers flooring, paneling, millwork, cabinetry doors and facing, windows, and skylights that are comprised of domestically grown and processed deciduous wood. To qualify, the products must be newly installed in the taxpayer's principal residence and reasonably expected to last at least five years. The bill also extends the expiration date of the broader energy efficient home improvement credit from 2032 to 2035. The credit applies to property placed in service after the date of enactment.
