(b) The director may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations9
establishing an alternative method in circumstances in which subdivision10
(2)(a) of this section does not accurately reflect the out-of-state sales11
taking place at locations within Nebraska for a particular industry.12
(3) The determination of the majority of the business activities13
shall be made based on the number of employees working in the respective14
business activities. The director may adopt and promulgate rules and15
regulations establishing an alternative method in circumstances in which16
other factors provide a better reflection of business activities.17
(4) The delineation of the types of business activities which enable18
a location to constitute a qualified location is based on the state's19
intention to attract certain types of business activities and to20
responsibly accomplish the purposes of the ImagiNE Nebraska Act by21
directing the state's incentive capabilities towards business activities22
which, due to their national nature, could locate outside of Nebraska and23
which therefore would, through the use of incentives, be motivated to24
locate in Nebraska. By listing specific types of business activities in25
subsection (1) of this section, the state has determined such business26
activities by their nature meet these objectives. By specifying the27
national nature of a taxpayer's revenue in subsection (2) of this28
section, the state has determined that certain other types of business29
activities can meet these objectives. 30
