    Sec. 216. Alternative fueled vehicle credit.
8
    (a) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004 
9
and ending on or before December 30, 2009, each taxpayer that 
10
purchases in this State an alternative fueled vehicle during 
11
the taxable year is entitled to a credit against the tax 
12
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in the amount 
13
of $1,000 per alternative fueled vehicle purchased.  The tax 
14
credit may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to less than 
15
zero.
16
    (b) If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability 
17
for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to 
18
the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess 
19
credit year.  The credit shall be applied to the earliest year 
20
for which there is a tax liability.  If there are credits from 
21
more than one tax year that are available to offset a 
22
liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first.
