This bill authorizes state tax credits to taxpayers equal to 50%
of any contribution to a qualified unplanned pregnancy resource
center.  The taxpayer is allowed a tax credit against any
individual income, corporate income, corporate franchise,
financial institutions, or express company tax liability.  The
credit may be carried over for 4 years, but may not exceed tax
liability in any one year.  The maximum tax credit per year per
taxpayer cannot exceed $50,000 and the total statewide tax
credits authorized cannot exceed $2 million per year.

The bill requires the Department of Social Services to determine
eligibility of facilities and to apportion the tax credit among
all qualified facilities.

The bill will become effective January 1, 2001.
