H.R. 3584 · 115th Congress
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend certain credits against tax related to empowerment zones.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to empowerment zones, to: (1) extend the termination date for empowerment zone designations to December 31, 2020, and (2) allow nominations for existing zones to be amended to provide for the new termination date.
(Empowerment zones are federally designated geographic areas where certain federal tax incentives and grants are allowed to increase investment and employment.)
The bill also extends the $400 million annual limitation for qualified zone academy bonds to 2018, 2019, and 2020. (Under current law, the limit is zero after 2016 unless provisions permitting the carryover of unused limitation apply.)
