Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to add a new tax credit category for "natural carbon sink" expenditures on a taxpayer’s principal residence, defined as certain U.S.-grown deciduous hardwood products, and extends the related home improvement credit period to 2035. It also terminates the application of an increased tax credit (section 45Q(1)) for carbon capture equipment whose construction begins after enactment.
Progressives stress sustainability and opposes ending 45Q increases
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a targeted tax-law amendment that clearly states its purpose and integrates into the Internal Revenue Code by adding definitions and conforming edits.

Amendments apply to property placed in service or construction begun after enactment.
Narrow industry-focused carve-out plus terminating a separate clean-technology credit creates competing constituency pressures and uncertain fiscal posture.

Progressives stress sustainability and opposes ending 45Q increases
Mixed reaction.
Supports incentives for storing carbon in building materials and domestic manufacturing, but worried about sustainability standards and the bill’s removal of increased 45Q credit for carbon capture.
Concerned the bill lacks forestry sustainability safeguards and may unintentionally encourage harmful logging practices.
Cautiously supportive if structured and fiscally constrained.
Values domestic job support and carbon-storage co-benefits, but wants safeguards, cost estimates, and continuity for other decarbonization tools like 45Q.
Sees room for compromise on sustainability verification and budget limits.
Generally favorable.
Likes supporting U.S. timber industry, domestic sourcing, and homeowner tax incentives.
Views termination of increased 45Q credit as removing a corporate subsidy.
