HB 3673

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Creates a credit, for taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2007, for taxpayers who operate a clean-coal-energy project in the State. Provides that the amount of the credit is an amount equal to the costs of that operation, but not to exceed $50,000. Defines "clean-coal-energy project" to include any project that employs the use of clean-coal technology, any coal-gasification project, and any project to provide pollution-control technology for existing coal plants. Provides that the credit may be carried forward for 5 years. Exempts the credit from the Act's sunset provisions. Effective immediately.
