Municipal Finance Journal, 2005, vol. 26, issue 3, 73 - 78

Abstract: Congress has enacted four new categories of bonds for municipal financing over the past year: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Energy Act) establishes a new category of “tax credit bonds” for renewable energy projects; the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 establishes new categories of tax-exempt bonds for green building and sustainable design projects; and the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, A Legacy for Users (the Transportation Act) establishes new categories of tax-exempt bonds for highway projects and rail-truck transfer facilities. In addition, Congress is also on the verge of enacting new tax-exempt bond provisions to finance disaster relief for areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
