Requires a qualified community development entity to pay a nonrefundable application fee of $5,000 to the IEDC. Provides that the credit is subject to recapture. Allows the IEDC to issue letter rulings requested by taxpayers, similar to private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service at the federal level, and adopt rules regarding the credit.
