SCS/SB 545 - A tax credit for a portion of qualified research expenses, as defined in federal law, expired on December 31, 2004. This act reauthorizes such tax credit. Tax credits issued under the act shall not exceed ten million dollars in any year, provided that five million dollars of such tax credits shall be reserved for minority business enterprises, women's business enterprises, and small businesses, as defined in the act. This act shall sunset on December 31, 2030, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly. This act is identical to a provision contained in SS/SCS/SB 354 (2021) and is substantially similar to HCS/HB 690 (2021). JOSH NORBERG
