A. Full evaluation for tax expenditures that are intended to provide an incentive for specific behaviors, that provide a benefit to a specific group of beneficiaries or for which measurable goals can be identified;   [PL 2015, c. 344, §4 (NEW).]

B. Expedited review for tax expenditures that are intended to implement broad tax policy goals that cannot be reasonably measured; and   [PL 2015, c. 344, §4 (NEW).]

C. No review for tax expenditures with an impact on state revenue of less than $50,000 or that otherwise do not warrant either a full evaluation or expedited review.   [PL 2015, c. 344, §4 (NEW).]

To the extent practicable, the committee shall group the review of tax expenditures with similar goals together.

[PL 2017, c. 266, §1 (AMD).]
