Bill Summary · HB 2710

Summary — HB 2710 (materials provided contain two distinct bills; summaries for both follow)

Note: The materials supplied appear to conflate two different HB 2710 bills from two jurisdictions. One is an Arizona appropriations bill for tribal long‑term care facilities; the other is an Illinois income‑tax credit for residential fire sprinkler installations. Below are clear, separate summaries of each so readers can understand the purpose, provisions, affected parties, and procedural posture for both.

A. Arizona — HB 2710 (Department of Health Services appropriation for tribal assisted living facilities and tribal nursing homes)

Purpose / intent

Provide one‑time state funding to support opening or reopening tribal assisted living facilities and tribal nursing homes located in Arizona.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $15,000,000 from the Arizona state general fund for fiscal year 2025–2026 to the Department of Health Services (ADHS).
  • ADHS must distribute these monies to tribal governments to open or reopen tribal assisted living facilities and tribal nursing homes in Arizona.
  • Allocation must be proportional across the northern, central, and southern portions of the state, with specific minimum allocations:
    • At least $1,500,000 to the Hopi Tribe.
    • At least $1,500,000 to the Navajo Nation.

Who is affected

  • Tribal governments and tribal health providers operating or seeking to open/reopen assisted living facilities and nursing homes in Arizona.
  • ADHS (responsible for distribution and oversight).
  • Potentially residents and families in tribal communities who will gain access to local long‑term care services.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • Introduced in the Arizona House (Fifty‑seventh Legislature, First Regular Session 2025).
  • Listed as introduced Feb 12, 2025 (per provided text). Further procedural status in materials: “Rule 19(a) / Re‑referred to Rules Committee” (3/21/2025).

B. Illinois — HB 2710 (residential fire sprinkler installation income‑tax credit)

Purpose / intent

Encourage installation of residential fire sprinkler systems by offering a state income‑tax credit to homeowners, thereby improving fire safety in one‑ and two‑family dwellings.

Key provisions

  • Adds Section 246 to the Illinois Income Tax Act creating a “Residential fire sprinkler installation credit.”
  • Eligible taxpayers: those who have an approved NFPA 13D residential fire sprinkler system installed in a new or existing one‑ or two‑family dwelling by a licensed fire sprinkler contractor.
  • Credit amount: 50% of the total installation cost, not to exceed $10,000 per taxpayer per taxable year.
  • Annual limits: credit awards capped at the lesser of 2,000 awards per year or $8,000,000 in total credits per year. The Department (state agency) is to adopt rules for processing and awarding credits when demand exceeds caps.
  • Documentation: taxpayer must submit a final invoice showing total installation costs (including water main tap fees, combined sprinkler/domestic water service fees, piping/valve upgrades, testing, etc.).
  • Credit cannot reduce tax liability below zero.
  • “Approved NFPA 13D residential fire sprinkler system” is defined as meeting NFPA 13D standards for one‑ and two‑family dwellings.
  • Exempt from the Act’s automatic sunset provisions (i.e., does not automatically expire under that law).
  • Effective: provisions state the Act takes effect upon becoming law; credit available for taxable years ending on or after Dec 31, 2027 (per text).

Who is affected

  • Illinois homeowners who install NFPA 13D‑compliant residential sprinkler systems.
  • Licensed fire sprinkler contractors (increased demand).
  • State Department administering credits and tracking annual caps.
  • State revenue: the credit will reduce income tax receipts up to the $8,000,000 cap annually.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • Several procedural entries in the supplied materials appear to reflect Illinois legislative activity:
    • Filed/introduced Feb 6, 2025 (Rep. Michael J. Kelly); added co‑sponsor Rep. Martin McLaughlin.
    • Referred to Revenue & Finance Committee; to Tax Policy: Income Tax Subcommittee.
    • Read/assigned in February–March 2025; status shown as “Rule 19(a) / Re‑referred to Rules Committee” (3/21/2025).
  • Bill text specifies credit applies for taxable years beginning after Dec 31, 2027 and that the Act takes effect upon becoming law.

If you want, I can:
- Verify the authoritative version (Arizona vs. Illinois) by checking the legislature website for each state and produce a finalized summary for the correct jurisdiction.
- Produce a one‑page fact sheet focused only on the Illinois tax credit or only on the Arizona appropriation.
