   44  2016 2015. However, if subsection (3) is implemented, the
   45  meaning of a term shall be taken at the time the term is applied
   46  under this code.
   47         Section 2. Paragraph (e) of subsection (1) of section
   48  220.13, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

   63  Prevention Act of 2014, and the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
   64  2016.
   65         1. There shall be added to such taxable income an amount

   67  tax purposes as bonus depreciation for the taxable year pursuant
   68  to ss. 167 and 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

   77  amount by which taxable income was increased pursuant to this
   78  subparagraph, notwithstanding any sale or other disposition of
   79  the property that is the subject of the adjustments and
   80  regardless of whether such property remains in service in the
   81  hands of the taxpayer.

   94  subparagraph, notwithstanding any sale or other disposition of
   95  the property that is the subject of the adjustments and
   96  regardless of whether such property remains in service in the
   97  hands of the taxpayer.
   98         3. There shall be added to such taxable income an amount
   99  equal to the amount of deferred income not included in such

  111  paragraph are intended to adjust taxable income for Florida tax
  112  purposes, and, notwithstanding any other provision of this code,

  155  receiving a prior request therefor if good cause for an
  156  extension is shown. However, the aggregate extensions of time
  157  under paragraphs (a) and (b) shall not exceed 6 months. No
