What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Parity for Athletic Recreation Act" or the "PAR Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to remove private or commercial golf courses and country clubs from the list of uses for which certain proceeds cannot be used. This change would impact how obligations are handled under the current code. The amendment includes specific rules for empowerment zone employment credits and various business and opportunity zones. It applies to obligations issued after the Act is enacted.
