The bill "revises and makes permanent after 2014 the research tax credit" and also modifies the credit for small businesses.

Congress considered and passed a bill in Crawford's first House term that permanently extended the federal research tax credit, matching the R&D part of the promise.

The report states the bill would extend the credit through December 31, 2016, for second-generation biofuel production and extend/modify incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel; it explains that biodiesel fuel mixture credits and related payments were not available after December 31, 2014.

Official committee report shows Congress moved to extend biofuel tax incentives, including biodiesel/renewable diesel and alcohol-fuel provisions tied to ethanol in federal tax law.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Crawford’s promise was to support long-term extension and expansion of the federal R&D tax credit and tax credits for ethanol, biodiesel, and other bio-based fuel production. While he was serving in the House after winning the 2010 federal campaign, Congress enacted major tax-extender legislation in 2015 that made the research tax credit permanent and extended or modified several biofuel-related tax incentives, including biodiesel, renewable diesel, and second-generation biofuel provisions. Because the promised policy outcomes were substantially enacted during his House service, this counts as delivered in the same federal office context.
