What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Rehabilitation of Historic Schools Act of 2026," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to allow rehabilitation expenditures for public school buildings to qualify for rehabilitation credit. To qualify, the building must have been used as a qualified public educational facility during the 5-year period before rehabilitation begins and must be used as such immediately after. The Act also requires the Secretary of the Treasury to report on the effects of this change to Congress after five years. This report must include data on the number of facilities and students, specifically noting low income communities.
