| 10 | | shelter and (ii) retains ownership of the animal for a period |
| 11 | | of 6 consecutive months during the taxable year is entitled to |
| 12 | | a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of |
| 13 | | Section 201 in the amount of $250. As used in this Section, a |
| 14 | | "no kill animal shelter" means an animal shelter where fewer |
| 15 | | than 10% of the animals received were euthanized in the |
| 16 | | previous calendar year. |

| 18 | | for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to |
| 19 | | the tax liability of the 5 tax years following the excess |
| 20 | | credit year. The tax credit award shall be applied to the |
| 21 | | earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there are |
| 22 | | credits from more than one tax year that are available to |
| 23 | | offset liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. In |
