Page 22, strike lines 26 through 42, insert:
"K. If the taxpayer fails to make the required investment in renewable energy facilities within the time period required by subsection B, paragraph 1 or subsection C, paragraph 1 of this section or if the certification of an international operations center has been revoked under section 41-1520 due to a failure to make a one billion two hundred fifty million dollar investment in the center within ten years after certification or if the taxpayer fails to receive final certification of the credit under subsection J of this section, the taxpayer shall not be eligible and must cease claiming any further credits under this section and shall reimburse the amount of all credits previously received under this section. The reimbursement must be made on the taxpayer's income tax return for the taxable year in which it is first known that the required investment would not be made within the required time or the taxable year in which the certification was revoked. The department may give special consideration or allow a temporary exemption from reimbursement if there is extraordinary hardship due to factors beyond the taxpayer's control. If the reimbursement is due to revocation of the certification of an international operations center due to a failure to invest one billion two hundred fifty million dollars in the center within ten years after certification, the credits shall be reimbursed in inverse proportion to the total capital investment made in the international operations center divided by one billion two hundred fifty million dollars. The department may require reimbursement before the tenth anniversary of certification of an international operations center if the facility has been closed or relocated or the taxpayer has otherwise demonstrated that the one billion two hundred fifty million dollar investment will not be timely made."
