SECTION 1. Chapter 235, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§235- Credits against income; claim limitation. (a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary providing for a credit that may be claimed against a taxpayer's net income tax liability under this chapter or chapters 239, 241, or 431, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and ending before January 1, 2011, no claim for business credit, including carryover business credit from prior taxable years, shall exceed seventy-five per cent of the taxpayer's tax liability for the taxable year in which the credit is claimed.
(b) Any business credit generated between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010, shall be subject to the credit claim limitation provided in subsection (a) and shall not result in a credit carryover in subsequent taxable years.
(c) Any business credit generated and applicable to a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009, that resulted in a credit carryover shall be subject to the credit claim limitation provided in subsection (a); provided that notwithstanding any provision creating a waiver of a tax credit by failing to make a claim within a specified period of time for any business credit, any business credit carryover generated and applicable to a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009, may be used against a tax liability in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, until exhausted.
(d) Business credits generated during taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and ending before January 1, 2011, shall be claimed first, and business credits generated in taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2009, shall be claimed thereafter; provided that, with regard to any business credit properly claimed for a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009, the specified period of time established to exhaust that business credit shall be tolled until such time that business credits accrued for the period beginning January 1, 2009, and ending January 1, 2011, have been exhausted.
