Tax-Free Rebates for Water Conservation and Stormwater Management Measures.

This law expands tax exclusions, ensuring that rebates received from utilities or local governments for installing water-saving devices or stormwater management systems are not counted as taxable income. Citizens who invest in conservation measures for their homes will keep the full value of the subsidy without paying federal taxes on it. This change applies retroactively to rebates received since January 1, 2022.
