Advocacy Update: BioME supports LR4022 An Act To Restore the Super Credit for Substantially Increased Research and Development
BioME would like to voice our support towards LR0422, An Act To Restore the Super Credit for Substantially Increased Research and Development proposed by Representative Allison Hepler. This legislation would reinstate the Super tax credit that was available to innovative Maine institutions prior to 2015 and allowed for substantial business savings.
R&D is especially important in the economic development life cycle, as it’s the seed for future growth and opportunities.
