Sec. 5. (a) The amount of tax credits allowed under this chapter may not exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000) in the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2025.
(b) The department shall record the time of filing of each application for allowance of a tax credit required under section 4 of this chapter and shall approve the applications, if they otherwise qualify for a tax credit under this chapter, in the chronological order in which the applications are filed in the state fiscal year.
(c) When the total tax credits approved under this section equal the maximum amount allowable in any state fiscal year, no application thereafter filed for that same fiscal year shall be approved. However, if any applicant for whom a credit has been approved fails to file the statement of proof of payment required under section 4 of this chapter, an amount equal to the credit previously allowed or set aside for the applicant may be allowed to any subsequent applicant in the year. In addition, the department may, if the applicant so requests, approve a credit application, in whole or in part, with respect to the next succeeding state fiscal year.
