4     Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by adding
5 Section 216 as follows:
 
6     (35 ILCS 5/216 new)
7     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.
23     (c) As used in this Section, "alternative fueled vehicle"

25 42, Chapter 134, Section 13211.
