DISPOSITION

FAILED

JUL 1, 2025

“Amendment SA 2719 not agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 48 - 52. Record Vote Number: 365.”

what this changes

This amendment tried to change how and when the tax credit for home clean energy projects—like solar panels or battery storage—would end. Because the amendment failed, the timeline for ending these tax credits remained exactly as written in the main bill.

WHY IT MATTERS

Tax credits make expensive home upgrades like solar panels more affordable for families; changing the expiration date of these credits affects how long Americans have to take advantage of those savings.

WHO IS AFFECTED

Homeowners planning to install renewable energy systems and the green energy construction industry are most directly affected by changes to these tax credits.
