Board of Commerce approves renewal of ITEP emergency rule | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry extended the Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP) emergency rule for another 180 days, preventing its expiration on Oct. 21. Initially implemented due to Governor Jeff Landry’s executive order, ITEP offers tax incentives for industries that invest in Louisiana. The extension allows for continued negotiations on permanent regulations, with a draft of the long-term rules anticipated in mid-November. Landry’s executive order also set stricter approval criteria for exemptions, requiring community investment and local government approval, while excluding routine maintenance from eligibility, promoting community involvement in the exemption process.
