Congress has officially unveiled its draft legislation for Opportunity Zones 2.0—what’s in it, and what’s missing? In this episode, Jimmy Atkinson is joined by Jason Watkins of Novogradac to break down the brand new OZ provisions released by the House Ways and Means Committee as part of a larger tax package. They discuss how the proposal would reshape Opportunity Zone designations, introduce rural incentives, and impact timelines for investors and developers. They also highlight key omissions—like interim gains relief and fund-of-funds eligibility—and raise concerns about a potential 2026 “capital freeze” unless major changes are made.
