What this bill does

Creates the Taxpayer and Investment Protection Act. Provides that a developer that undertakes a qualifying project may apply to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for certain benefits authorized under the Act, including, but not limited to, a negotiated property tax agreement and infrastructure support if the project satisfies certain job creation, investment, and location requirements. Provides that one or more taxing bodies may enter into a negotiated property tax agreement with the developer of a qualifying project. Provides that the agreement shall provide for a single annual payment in full satisfaction of all ad valorem property taxes that would otherwise be levied on the improvements constructed on the project site as part of the qualifying project. Provides that the State may provide infrastructure support for public infrastructure improvements that directly benefit a qualifying project and provide broader public benefit to the region in which the project is located. Amends the Property Tax Code to make conforming changes. Effective immediately.
