                                    H.R. 4220
               Water and Agriculture Tax Reform Act of 2016

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on September 21, 2016


 H.R. 4220 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow tax-exempt ditch or irrigation
 entities, which provide water storage and delivery services, to earn income from certain
property without affecting their tax-exempt status. Under current law, in order to maintain
tax-exempt status, at least 85 percent of the income of such entities must be in the form of
collections from members for the purpose of meeting losses and expenses. Under H.R.
4220, income from the sale of certain property to nonmembers would not count towards the
85 percent test as long as it is used for certain operational costs, maintenance, or capital
improvements.

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that the legislation would
reduce revenues by about $40 million over the 2016-2026 period.

The Statutory Pay-As-You Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting revenues and direct spending. The net changes in
revenues that are subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the following
table. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending.
