1 | AN ACT concerning revenue.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by adding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Section 229 as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (35 ILCS 5/229 new) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 229. Pet adoption credit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 2019, a taxpayer who (i) adopts an animal from a no kill animal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | shelter and (ii) retains ownership of the animal for a period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | of 6 consecutive months during the taxable year is entitled to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Section 201 in the amount of $250. As used in this Section, a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | "no kill animal shelter" means an animal shelter where fewer | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | than 10% of the animals received were euthanized in the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | previous calendar year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | (b) If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | the tax liability of the 5 tax years following the excess | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | credit year. The tax credit award shall be applied to the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there are | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | credits from more than one tax year that are available to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | offset liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. In |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | no event may a credit under this Section reduce the taxpayer's | ||||||
2 | liability to less than zero. | ||||||
3 | (c) This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section | ||||||
4 | 250.
| ||||||
5 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
6 | becoming law.
