Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill creates the Federal Infrastructure Bank, a new privately-owned but federally-chartered bank specifically designed to finance infrastructure projects in the United States. The bank would provide loans, loan guarantees, and equity investments for projects like highways, ports, airports, energy transmission, water treatment, and public transit.
Who Benefits and How
Infrastructure developers and construction companies benefit by gaining access to long-term financing for revenue-producing projects. Investors who purchase equity in the Federal Infrastructure Bank Holding Company receive a 10% annual tax credit for 5 years on their investment. Rural areas are specifically targeted to receive at least 10% of the bank's financing. The bank and its holding company are exempt from all federal, state, and local taxes.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Taxpayers indirectly bear costs through tax credits given to investors (10% per year for 5 years) and the tax exemption granted to the bank. Chinese entities and State Sponsors of Terrorism are explicitly prohibited from investing in the bank. The Federal Reserve and Treasury gain new oversight responsibilities.
Key Provisions
- Creates a federally-chartered national bank wholly owned by a private holding company to finance infrastructure
