MINOR
This bill defines 'qualified high technology business' to include agricultural businesses conducting qualified research, expanding eligibility for research tax credits. The effective date was changed from after December 31, 2024 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be an error or placeholder date. The bill also updates the summary description to reflect this expanded eligibility.
Scope change
The bill now includes agricultural businesses as eligible for research tax credits, whereas the previous version only covered qualified high technology businesses.
