(2) for benefit years beginning on or after October 7, l990, four and sixty-two hundredths percent (4.62%) of the wages paid to the individual in that calendar quarter of the base period in which the individual's wages were highest; provided, however, that the benefit rate shall not exceed seventy percent (70%), effective July 1, 1990 seventy-five percent (75%), and effective July 1, 1991 eighty percent (80%), and effective July 1, 1992 eighty-five percent (85%) of the average weekly wage paid to individuals covered by the Employment Security Act of the state of Rhode Island for the preceding calendar year ending December 31. If the said maximum weekly benefit rate is not an exact multiple of one dollar ($1.00) then the said rate shall be raised to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1.00). Those weekly benefit rates shall be effective throughout the benefit years beginning on or after July 1 of the year prior to July of the succeeding calendar year.

The benefit rate of any individual, if not an exact multiple of one dollar ($1.00) shall be raised to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1.00).

(b) Dependents' allowances.

The weekly total of dependents' allowances payable to any individual, if not an exact multiple of one dollar ($1.00), shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1.00). The number of an individual's dependents, and the fact of their dependency, shall be determined as of the beginning of that individual's benefit year; provided, however, that only one individual shall be entitled to a dependent's allowance for the same dependent with respect to any week. Each individual who claims a dependent's allowance shall establish his or her claim thereto to the satisfaction of the director under procedures established by the director.

However, if the amount of credit allowable under this section for any taxable year reduces the tax to the minimum fixed by section 44-11-2 (e), any amount of credit not credited in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years, up to a maximum of seven (7) years, and may be credited against the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. For purposes of chapter 44-30, if the credit allowed under this section for any taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such year, the amount of credit not credited in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years, up to a maximum of seven (7) years, and may be credited against the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.

(f)(1) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section 167 of the Internal Revenue Code and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this section which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve (12) consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subparagraph, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.

(2) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph three (3) of this paragraph applies, with respect to three (3) year property, as defined in paragraph two (2) of section (c) of section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this section which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six (36).

(3) With respect to any recovery property to which section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this section which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve (12) consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(g) No deduction for research and development facilities under section 44-32-1 shall be allowed for research and development property for which the credit is allowed under this section.

(h) No investment tax credit under section 44-32-1 {ADD 44-31-1 ADD} shall be allowed for research and development property for which the credit is allowed under this section.

(i) The investment tax credit allowed by section 44-31-1 shall be taken into account before the credit allowed under this section.

(j) The credit allowed under this section shall only be allowed against the tax of that corporation included in a consolidated return that qualifies for the credit and not against the tax of other corporations that may join in the filing of a consolidated return.

(k) In the event that the taxpayer is a partnership, joint venture or small business corporation, the credit shall be divided in the same manner as income.

(a) "Renewable energy system" means a system, including any of the systems defined below, and specifically excluding nuclear, wood, and coal systems, which are designed solely to provide heating, to provide cooling, to produce electrical power, to produce mechanical power, to heat water, or any combination thereof, by means of collecting and transferring solar, hydro, or wind-generated energy into those uses and which system also may have the capability of storing the energy for future utilization.

(b)(1) "Solar energy system" is equipment which uses solar energy to heat, cool, or produce electricity.

(A) An "active solar system" is an assembly of collectors, thermal storage device(s) and transfer liquid which converts solar energy into thermal energy and in which energy in addition to solar is used to accomplish the transfer of thermal energy.

(B) "passive solar system" is an assembly of natural and architectural components including collectors, thermal storage device(s) and transfer fluid which converts solar energy into thermal energy in a controlled manner and in which no fans or pumps are used to accomplish the transfer of thermal energy. The prime elements in a passive solar system are usually some form of thermal capacitance and solar energy control.

(2) A "wind energy system" includes any machine or device which converts available wind energy into electrical or mechanical output form. A wind energy system has four subsystems:

(A) A rotor

(B) Power processing components

(C) Frame

(D) Controlled components.
