M. Preapproval under this section lapses, the application is void and the amount of the preapproved income tax credits does not apply against the dollar limit prescribed by subsection J of this section if, within twelve months after preapproval, the renewable energy business fails to provide to the authority documentation of its expenditure of two hundred fifty thousand dollars in qualifying investment or, if the period over which the qualifying investment will be made exceeds twelve months, documentation of additional expenditures as required in this subsection for each twelve month period.

The chief executive officer shall accept or reject the findings of the managed review.� If the chief executive officer rejects all or part of the managed review, the chief executive officer shall provide written reasons for the rejection.

P. When the renewable energy operation begins operations, a renewable energy business that was preapproved for income tax credits under this section shall apply to the authority in writing for postapproval of the credits and submit documentation certifying the total amount and dates of the qualifying investments and identifying the fixed capital assets associated with the renewable energy operation incurred from and after September 30, 2009 through the date of application for postapproval. From and after December 31, 2009, the authority shall provide postapproval to a renewable energy business that it has met the eligibility requirements of this section and shall notify the department of revenue that the renewable energy business may claim the tax credits pursuant to section 43‑1083.01 or 43‑1164.01.� If the amount of qualifying investment actually spent is less than the amount preapproved for income tax credits, the preapproved amount not incurred lapses and does not apply against the dollar limit prescribed by subsection J of this section for that year. The authority shall not allow a credit under section 43‑1083.01 or 43‑1164.01 that exceeds the amount of the postapproval for the project under this subsection.� For the purposes of this subsection, "begins operations" means:

1. A headquarters facility opens for public business.

2. A manufacturing facility begins producing commercial quantities of usable products.

Q. The authority may rescind the business' postapproval if the business no longer meets the terms and conditions required for qualifying for the tax incentives.

T. For five years after postapproval for tax incentives under this section, in any action involving the liquidation of the business assets or relocation out of state, this state claims the position of a secured creditor of the business in the amount of income tax credits and property tax incentives the business received pursuant to section 42‑12006, 43‑1083.01 or 43‑1164.01.

U.

Sec. 13. Section 43-1164.04, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

START_STATUTE43-1164.04. Credit for qualified facilities

B. The amount of the credit is computed as follows:

1. Ten per cent of the lesser of:

(a) The taxpayer's total capital investment in the qualified facility.

(b) Two hundred thousand dollars for each net new full-time employment position at the qualified facility.

2. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the postapproval amount determined by the Arizona commerce authority under section 41-1512, subsection P.

3. The credit amount computed under paragraph 1 of this subsection is apportioned, and the taxpayer shall claim the credit in five equal annual installments in each of five consecutive taxable years.

C. To claim the credit the taxpayer must:

1. Conduct a business that qualifies under section 41‑1512.

2. Receive preapproval and postapproval from the Arizona commerce authority pursuant to section 41‑1512.

3. Submit to the department a copy of a current and valid certification of qualification issued to the taxpayer by the Arizona commerce authority.

D. To be counted for the purposes of the credit, an employee must have been employed at the qualified facility for at least ninety days during the taxable year in a permanent full-time employment position of at least one thousand seven hundred fifty hours per year.� An employee who is hired during the last ninety days of the taxable year shall be considered a new employee during the next taxable year. To be counted for the purposes of the credit during the first taxable year of employment, the employee must not have been previously employed by the taxpayer within twelve months before the current date of hire.

H. A taxpayer who claims a credit under section 43‑1074 or 43‑1079 �43‑1161, 43‑1164.01 or 43‑1167 may not claim a credit under this section with respect to the same full‑time employment positions.
