Subject to subparagraph (II) of this paragraph (b) and pursuant to rules promulgated by the office, one or more certified investors may claim up to ten million dollars of state premium tax credits annually for ten years beginning in tax year 2005 for investments occurring on or after April 1, 2004, of certified capital in one or more certified capital companies to be used for qualified investments. With regard to such investments: (b) (I) Subject to subparagraph (II) of this paragraph (b) and pursuant to rules promulgated by the office, one or more certified investors may claim up to ten million dollars of state premium tax credits annually for ten years beginning in tax year 2005 for investments occurring on or after April 1, 2004, of certified capital in one or more certified capital companies to be used for qualified investments. With regard to such investments:   Twenty-five percent of certified capital for which premium tax credits are allowed shall be allocated to certified investors in certified capital companies for investments in qualified rural businesses in the order in which premium tax credit allocation claims that request an allocation of premium tax credits under this sub-subparagraph (A) are filed with the office by certified capital companies on behalf of their certified investors; and    After the certified capital has been allocated pursuant to sub-subparagraph (A) of this subparagraph (I), seventy-five percent of certified capital for which premium tax credits are allowed shall be allocated to certified investors in certified capital companies in the order in which premium tax credit allocation claims that request an allocation of premium tax credits under this sub-subparagraph (B) are filed with the office by certified capital companies on behalf of their certified investors.       (A) Notwithstanding any other requirement of this article, of the ten million dollars of tax credits that would otherwise be claimed annually for ten years beginning in tax year 2005 pursuant to this subsection (1), five million dollars shall not be claimed pursuant to this subsection (1) and an equivalent amount of credits may instead be claimed annually pursuant to part 2 of article 46 of title 24, C.R.S.; except that, if H.B. 04-1206 is enacted at the second regular session of the sixty-fourth general assembly, becomes law, and is subsequently declared to be unconstitutional by a final judgment that invalidates the tax credits enacted by such bill, the remaining five million dollars of tax credits that would otherwise be claimed pursuant to this subsection (1) annually for each of the remaining calendar years through 2014 shall not be claimed pursuant to this subsection (1), and a total of ten million dollars of tax credits may instead be claimed annually for each of the remaining calendar years through 2014 pursuant to part 2 of article 46 of title 24, C.R.S.            With regard to investments to be made in certified capital companies no earlier than January 31, 2002, but prior to January 31, 2004:   Twenty-five million dollars of certified capital for which premium tax credits are allowed shall be allocated to certified investors in certified capital companies in the order in which premium tax credit allocation claims that request an allocation of premium tax credits under this subparagraph (I) are filed with the office by certified capital companies on behalf of their certified investors; and    After all twenty-five million dollars have been allocated pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (a), seventy-five million dollars of certified capital for which premium tax credits are allowed shall be allocated to certified investors in certified capital companies in the order in which premium tax credit allocation claims that request an allocation of premium tax credits under this subparagraph (II) are filed with the office by certified capital companies on behalf of their certified investors.       (Deleted by amendment, L. 2004, pp. 26, 46, §§ 5, 5, effective March 4, 2004.)       If two or more certified capital companies file premium tax credit allocation claims seeking an allocation of premium tax credits pursuant to the same subparagraph of paragraph   of subsection (2) of this section filed on behalf of all certified investors on the same day.       Within five business days after the office receives a premium tax credit allocation claim filed by a certified capital company on behalf of one or more of its certified investors, the office shall notify the certified capital company of the amount of tax credits allocated to each of the certified investors in such certified capital company.    If a certified capital company does not receive an investment of certified capital equaling the amount of premium tax credits allocated to a certified investor for which it filed a premium tax credit allocation claim within five business days after its receipt of notice of allocation, that portion of the premium tax credits allocated to such certified investor in the certified capital company shall be forfeited and the office shall reallocate the certified capital among the other certified investors in all certified capital companies that filed premium tax credit allocation claims under the same subparagraph under which the forfeited credits were allocated on a pro rata basis in accordance with subsection (3) of this section. The office is authorized to levy a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars on any certified investor that does not invest the full amount of certified capital allocated by the office to such investor in accordance with the premium tax credit allocation claim filed on its behalf.    The maximum amount of premium tax credit allocation claims that any one certified investor and its affiliates may file in one or more certified capital companies shall not exceed fifteen percent of the maximum aggregate amount available under subsection (1) of this section at the time of such filing; except that a certified investor that files a premium tax credit allocation claim for an investment in a certified capital company whose certification is applicable only to credits to be allocated pursuant to subparagraph (I) of paragraph   of subsection (2) of this section shall not file, on an aggregate basis with its affiliates, premium tax credit allocation claims in excess of the maximum amount of certified capital for which premium tax credits may be allowed pursuant to such subparagraph (I) at the time of filing.       Unless its certification indicates otherwise, a certified capital company may file premium tax credit allocation claims on behalf of its certified investors pursuant to either or both of the subparagraphs of paragraph   of subsection (2) of this section, the requirements of this act shall apply to the certified capital invested pursuant to each such allocation on a separate and independent basis.
