Sec. 7. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-32,160a is hereby amended to read as
follows: 79-32,160a. (a) For taxable years commencing after December
31, 1999, and before January 1, 2012, any taxpayer who shall invest in a
qualified business facility, as defined in K.S.A. 79-32,154(b), and
amendments thereto, and effective for tax years commencing after

50,211, and amendments thereto, and also meets the definition of a
business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(b), and amendments thereto, shall be
allowed a credit for such investment, in an amount determined under
subsection (b) or (c), as the case requires, against the tax imposed by the
Kansas income tax act or where the qualified business facility is the
principal place from which the trade or business of the taxpayer is directed
or managed and the facility has facilitated the creation of at least 20 new
full-time positions, against the premium tax or privilege fees imposed
pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto, or as measured by the
net income of financial institutions imposed pursuant to article 11 of
chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, for
the taxable year during which commencement of commercial operations,
as defined in K.S.A. 79-32,154(f), and amendments thereto, occurs at such
qualified business facility. In the case of a taxpayer who meets the
definition of a manufacturing business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(d), and
amendments thereto, no credit shall be allowed under this section unless
the number of qualified business facility employees, as determined under
K.S.A. 79-32,154(d), and amendments thereto, engaged or maintained in
employment at the qualified business facility as a direct result of the
investment by the taxpayer for the taxable year for which the credit is
claimed equals or exceeds two. In the case of a taxpayer who meets the
definition of a nonmanufacturing business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(f), and
amendments thereto, no credit shall be allowed under this section unless
the number of qualified business facility employees, as determined under
K.S.A. 79-32,154(d), and amendments thereto, engaged or maintained in
employment at the qualified business facility as a direct result of the
investment by the taxpayer for the taxable year for which the credit is
claimed equals or exceeds five. Where an employee performs services for
the taxpayer outside the qualified business facility, the employee shall be
considered engaged or maintained in employment at the qualified business
facility if: (1) The employee's service performed outside the qualified
business facility is incidental to the employee's service inside the qualified
business facility; or (2) the base of operations or, the place from which the
service is directed or controlled, is at the qualified business facility.

pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto, or the privilege tax as
measured by the net income of financial institutions imposed pursuant to
article 11 of chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments
thereto, for the taxable year, or in the case where the qualified business
facility investment was made prior to January 1, 1996, 50% of such tax
imposed upon the amount which exceeds such tax liability or such portion
thereof may be carried over for credit in the same manner in the

Except that, before the credit is allowed, a taxpayer, who meets the
definition of a manufacturing business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(d), and
amendments thereto, shall recertify annually that the net increase of a
minimum of two qualified business facility employees has continued to be
maintained and a taxpayer, who meets the definition of a
nonmanufacturing business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(f), and amendments
thereto, shall recertify annually that the net increase of a minimum of five
qualified business employees has continued to be maintained.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, and
except as otherwise provided in this subsection, any taxpayer qualified and
certified under the provisions of K.S.A. 74-50,131, and amendments
thereto, that prior to making a commitment to invest in a qualified Kansas

facility in a form satisfactory to the secretary of commerce, shall be
entitled to a credit in an amount equal to 10% of that portion of the
qualified business facility investment that exceeds $50,000 in lieu of the
credit provided in subsection (b)(2) or (c)(2) without regard to the number
of qualified business facility employees engaged or maintained in

Douglas, Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee or Wyandotte county, such credit
shall be in an amount equal to 10% of that portion of the qualified business
facility investment that exceeds $1,000,000. Any taxpayer who has filed a

Kansas income tax act on the taxpayer's Kansas taxable income or the
premium tax or privilege fees imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and
amendments thereto, or the privilege tax as measured by net income of
financial institutions imposed pursuant to article 11 of chapter 79 of the
Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, for the taxable year,
the amount thereof that exceeds such tax liability may be carried forward

the tax credit is used, except that no such tax credit shall be carried
forward for deduction after the 16 th taxable year succeeding the taxable
year in which such credit initially was claimed, and no carryforward shall
be allowed for deduction in any succeeding taxable year unless the
taxpayer certifies under oath that the taxpayer continues to meet the

any taxable year prior to the taxable year commencing January 1, 2011, be
revived under the provisions of this act. No tax credit shall be allowed
pursuant to this subsection for tax years commencing after December 31,
2025, except that for taxpayers who have excess unused credit pursuant to
a credit initially claimed under this subsection for a tax year commencing

subsection still apply.
(f) For projects placed into service on and after January 1, 2021, a
taxpayer may transfer up to 50% of the tax credit allowed under subsection
(e), as provided in this subsection. The taxpayer may make a transfer to
one or more transferees, but the total of all transfers shall not exceed 50%
of the taxpayer's tax credit. The taxpayer shall make the transfer or
transfers within a single tax year. The credit may be transferred to any
individual or entity and shall be claimed in the year the credit was
transferred against the transferee's tax liability for the income tax under the
Kansas income tax act or the premium tax or privilege fees imposed
pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto, or the privilege tax as
measured by the net income of financial institutions imposed pursuant to

thereto. The amount of the credit that exceeds the transferee's tax liability
for such year may be carried forward for credit in the succeeding taxable
year or years until the total amount of the tax credit is used, except that no
such credit shall be carried forward for deduction after the 16 th taxable
year succeeding the taxable year in which such credit was initially
claimed. The taxpayer or transferee shall provide such documentation of
the tax credit transfer to the secretary of revenue as may be required by the
secretary. No transfer of credits shall be allowed pursuant to this
subsection after December 31, 2025. The credit carryforward provisions

to a transferee is later disallowed in whole or in part by the secretary of
revenue, the taxpayer that originally earned the tax credit shall be liable for
repayment to the state in the amount disallowed.
(h) For tax years commencing after December 31, 2005, Any
taxpayer claiming credits pursuant to this section, as a condition for
claiming and qualifying for such credits, shall provide information
pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,243, and amendments thereto, as part of the tax
return in which such credits are claimed. Such credits shall not be denied
solely on the basis of the contents of the information provided by the
taxpayer pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,243, and amendments thereto.

credit act of 1976, and amendments thereto.
Sec. 8. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-32,306 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 79-32,306. (a) For all taxable years commencing after December
31, 2022, and ending as provided in subsection (i), there shall be allowed a
credit against the income tax liability imposed pursuant to the Kansas
income tax act, the privilege tax liability imposed upon any national
banking association, state bank, trust company or savings and loan
association pursuant to article 11 of chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes
Annotated, and amendments thereto, or the premium tax liability imposed
upon an insurance company pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments
thereto, for each qualified development for each year of the credit period,
in an amount equal to the federal tax credit allocated or allowed by the
KHRC to such qualified development, except that there shall be no
reduction in the credit allowable in the first year of the credit period due to
the calculation in section 42(f)(2) of the federal internal revenue code.
(b) The KHRC shall issue an allocation certificate to an owner of a
qualified development to which a credit has been allocated. The KHRC
shall issue an allocation certificate to the qualified development
simultaneously with issuance of federal form 8609 with respect to the
federal tax credits.
(c) All allocations shall be made pursuant to the qualified allocation
plan.
(d) If an owner of a qualified development receiving an allocation of
a credit is a pass-through entity, the owner may allocate the credit among
its partners or members in any manner agreed to by such persons
regardless of whether: (1) Any such person is allocated or allowed any
portion of any federal tax credit with respect to the qualified project; (2)
the allocation of the credit under the terms of the agreement has substantial

internal revenue code; or (3) any such person is deemed a partner for
federal income tax purposes, if the partner or member would be considered
a partner or member under applicable state law governing such entity and
has been admitted as a partner or member on or prior to the date for filing
the qualified taxpayer's tax return, including any amendments to such tax
return, with respect to the year of the credit. In the case of multiple tiers of
pass-through entities, the credit may be so allocated through any number
of pass-through entities in any manner agreed by the owners of such pass-
through entities, none of which shall be considered a transfer. Any pass-
through entity allocating a credit to its partners or members shall attach a
pass-through certification to its tax return annually. Each partner or
member shall be allowed to claim or further allocate such amount subject
to any restrictions set forth in this act.
(e) An owner of a qualified development to which a credit has been
allocated and each qualified taxpayer to which such owner has allocated a
portion of such credit, if any, shall file with their state income, privilege or
premium tax return a copy of the allocation certificate issued by the
KHRC with respect to such qualified development and a copy of any pass-
through certification, as prescribed by the director.
(f) No credit shall be allocated pursuant to this act unless the qualified
development is the subject of a recorded restrictive covenant requiring the
development to be maintained and operated as a qualified development
and is in accordance with the accessibility and adaptability requirements of
the federal tax credits and title VIII of the civil rights act of 1968, as
amended by the fair housing amendments act of 1988, for a period of 15
taxable years, or such longer period as may be agreed to between the
KHRC and the owner of the qualified development, beginning with the
first taxable year of the credit period.
(g) The allocated credit amount may be taken against the income,
privilege or premium taxes imposed for each taxable year of the credit
period. Any amount of credit that exceeds the income, privilege or
premium tax liability of a qualified taxpayer for a taxable year may be
carried forward as a credit against subsequent years' tax liability up to 11
tax years following the tax year in which the allocation was made and shall
be applied first to the earliest years possible. Any amount of the credit that
is not used shall not be refunded to the taxpayer.
(h) Unless otherwise provided in this act or the context or law
requires otherwise, the KHRC shall determine eligibility for a credit and
allocate credits in accordance with the standards and requirements set forth
in section 42 of the federal internal revenue code. Any combination of
federal tax credits and credits allowed pursuant to this act shall be the least
amount necessary to ensure the financial feasibility of a qualified

forward period, of a Kansas affordable housing tax credit allocation
awarded to the owner of a qualified development by the KHRC before
