|
| 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 |
| 5 | | adding Section 234 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (35 ILCS 5/234 new) |
| 7 | | Sec. 234. Pet adoption credit. |
| 8 | | (a) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, |
| 9 | | 2023, 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, "no |
| 14 | | kill animal shelter" means an animal shelter where fewer than |
| 15 | | 10% of the animals received were euthanized in the previous |
| 16 | | 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. |
