Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §11-21-10a of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 21. PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
§11-21-10a. Credit for nonfamily adoption.
A one time credit against the tax imposed by the provisions of this article shall be allowed as follows:
Nonfamily adoptions. -- For nonfamily adoptions, the credit is equal to $4,000 which may be taken in the year of the adoption of each nonfamily child, whose age at adoption is under eighteen years. This credit may, at the option of the taxpayer, be taken over a period of three years.
