  1  3    1.  a.  The taxes imposed under this division, less the

  1  5 state tax credit for livestock production operations located
  1  6 in the state.  The amount of the credit equals ten cents for
  1  7 each bushel of corn or corn equivalents consumed by the
  1  8 livestock in the production operation as specified under this

  1 17 the product of ten cents times the number of corn equivalents
  1 18 consumed by that head of livestock.  The amount of credit per
  1 19 operation shall not exceed five thousand dollars.

  2  6 state.
  2  7    4.  An individual may claim the livestock production tax
  2  8 credit allowed a partnership, subchapter S corporation, or
  2  9 estate or trust electing to have the income taxed directly to
  2 10 the individual.  The amount claimed by the individual shall be
  2 11 based upon the pro rata share of the individual's earning of
  2 12 the partnership, subchapter S corporation, or estate or trust.

  3 31    Sec. 5.  RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY.  Sections 1 and 2 of

  3 34                           EXPLANATION
  3 35    This bill provides a livestock production tax credit not to
  4  1 exceed $5,000 per livestock operation.  The credit is based
  4  2 upon the amount of corn or corn equivalents used by hog
  4  3 operations, beef (including dairy) operations, and poultry
  4  4 operations.  The amount of the credit is computed by
  4  5 multiplying 10 cents times the amount of corn or corn
  4  6 equivalents consumed by the livestock in the production
  4  7 operation.  In addition, a taxpayer may only receive for a tax
  4  8 year $5,000 in total credits under the bill.
  4  9    The bill also repeals the agricultural land tax credit and
  4 10 the family farm tax credit applicable to property taxes due
  4 11 and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1,
  4 12 1996.
  4 13    The sections of the bill relating to the livestock
  4 14 production tax credit apply retroactively to January 1, 1996,
  4 15 for income tax years beginning on or after that date.
