House Bill 1555 (HB1555) has been filed which would increase the cap for the Arkansas Historic Tax Credit from $4 million to $10 million per fiscal year. HB1555 would also: Walter Wright, Jr. extend the historic tax credit sunset provision from 2027 to 2037 [email protected] allow the Division of Arkansas Heritage to utilize fees that it collects under the Arkansas Historic (501) 688.8839 Rehabilitation Income Tax Credit Act to support personnel who administer the program.

Co-Sponsors of the Bill include: Representative Sonia Eubanks Barker Representative Andrew Collins Representative Les Eaves Representative Denise Jones Ennett Representative Jimmy Gazaway Representative Lee Johnson Representative Tippi McCullough Representative Aaron Pilkington Representative Les Warren Senator Missy Irvin Senator Bill Sample Senator Clarke Tucker In 2009 legislation was enacted by the Arkansas General Assembly allowing Arkansans to claim a portion of their investment in historic properties as a credit on their state income taxes. See Ark. Code Ann. § 26- 51-2204. The program is administered by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. The objective is to encourage the rehabilitation of historic properties and foster revitalization efforts in Arkansas’s historic downtowns and neighborhoods.

Twenty-five percent of the approved rehabilitation expenses on a historic building may be claimed as a tax credit.

    2011 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS 2011 Lilly Political Contributions 2 Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at both the state and federal levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees. Corporate Political Contribution Elected officials, no matter what level, have an impact on public policy issues affecting Lilly. We are committed to backing candidates who support public policies that contribute to pharmaceutical innovation and healthy patients. A number of factors are considered when reviewing candidates for support. The following evaluation criteria are used to allocate political contributions: • Has the candidate historically voted or announced positions on issues of importance to Lilly, such as pharmaceutical innovation and health care? • Has the candidate demonstrated leadership on key committees of importance to our business? • Does the candidate demonstrate potential for legislative leadership?
