Critical Businesses Preparedness Act
- taxes
What this bill does
- This bill creates a tax credit covering 30% of costs for critical businesses to buy and install electric generators.
- Hospitals, nursing homes, grocery stores, gas stations, and other essential businesses in flood or hurricane zones benefit.
- The credit reduces the generator's tax basis and cannot be combined with other federal tax benefits for the same expense.

How would limiting the tax credit to only flood and hurricane zones affect preparedness in areas vulnerable to other types of disasters like wildfires or ice storms?
- 02
What evidence suggests that a 30% tax credit is the right incentive level to meaningfully increase generator adoption among critical businesses?
- 03
Since the credit reduces the generator's tax basis for future deductions, how might this interaction affect the actual cost savings for businesses compared to the stated 30% credit?
