Neighborhood and individual development incentives. Defines a "community based organization" as a private, nonprofit corporation whose board of directors is comprised of business, civic, and community leaders, and whose principal purpose includes the provision of low income housing. (Current law limits administration, through a financial institution, of an account to community development corporations.) Provides that: (1) the first $1,500 (rather than $800) is eligible for a state deposit in an individual's account; (2) the allocation, for each account that has been established, for not more than five years, is $3 for each $1 of the first $1,500 (rather than the first $400) an individual deposited into the individual's account; and (3) the amount of the allocation may not exceed $4,500 (rather than $2,400) for each account. Makes various changes to the administration of and procedure for claiming the neighborhood assistance tax credit and the individual development account tax credit. Removes a reference to an obsolete tax.
