laws from the federal Opportunity Zone program, which will save the
state hundreds of millions of.dollars. However, it is imperative that
the Exclusion (10 year) Benefit also be decoupled. Although this benefit
has no fiscal to the State for several years, it is imperative that we
fully decouple the program from our state's tax laws now.

2021-22: A.8081-A - Ways and Means / S.6800-A - Passed Senate
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The bill will prevent a loss in tax revenue to the state.
