What it does

The Investing in Our Communities Act would amend the Internal Revenue Code to reinstate the use of advance refunding bonds, allowing state and local governments to refinance existing debt under specific conditions. The bill affects issuers of municipal bonds by setting rules for when advance refunding is permitted, including limits on the number of refundings, redemption timing, and restrictions on arbitrage profits. It prohibits abusive transactions designed to gain financial advantage through arbitrage beyond interest rate savings and includes conforming changes to related tax provisions, with the amendments applying to bonds issued after the bill’s enactment.
