Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
The bill amends Internal Revenue Code section 103 to disallow tax-exempt status for any bond whose proceeds finance or refinance capital expenditures for facilities used at least five days per year for professional sports exhibitions, games, or training.
The prohibition applies to bonds issued after the Act's enactment.
Legislatively narrow and implementable, but local opposition and need for broad Senate support reduce prospects unless attached to larger package.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise, focused statutory amendment that clearly identifies its objective and provides the core legal language (amendments and definition) and an effective date to accomplish the change.
