Investment tax credit

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code of Laws is amended by adding:

1. conservation tillage equipment.

2. drip/trickle irrigation systems to include all necessary measures and equipment including, but not limited to, dams, pipe, pumps, wells, installation charges and other related expenses.

3. dual purpose combination truck and crane equipment.

The credit for each of the measures may be claimed in only one tax year. If the amount of such credit exceeds the taxpayers tax liability for such taxable year, the amount which exceeds such tax liability may be carried over for credit against income taxes in the next five succeeding taxable years until the total amount of the tax credit has been taken."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.
