  9        SECTION  1.  That  Chapter  30,  Title 63, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
 10    hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and  des-
 11    ignated as Section 63-3024C, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
                                                                        
 12        63-3024C.  INCOME  TAX  CREDIT  FOR  REAL PROPERTY TAXES. (1)  For taxable
 13    year 2001 only, there shall be allowed as a credit  against  taxes  due  under
 14    this chapter one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of taxes due in December
 15    2001  on  class  1  property as defined in section 63-204, Idaho Code, that is
 16    real property used in mining, and used solely in mining during tax year  2001.
 17    For  purposes of this section, "mining" shall mean the activities performed in
 18    the extraction of minerals from the ground including, but not limited to,  the
 19    excavation  of pits, removal of minerals, crushing, milling, disposal of over-
 20    burden, the construction of haulage roads, beneficiation,  transportation  and
 21    stockpiling.
 22        (2)  The maximum amount of the credit established by this section shall be
 23    that  enumerated in subsection (1) of this section. If taxes due are less than
 24    the total credit allowed, the taxpayer shall be paid a refund. If  the  credit
 25    or  refund  is  not  claimed  for  the year for which the income tax return is
 26    filed, the right thereafter to claim such credit or refund shall be forfeited.
 27    The state tax commission shall prescribe the method by which  the  refund,  if
 28    any, is to be made to the taxpayer.
 29        (3)  The  refunds  authorized by this section shall be paid from the state
 30    refund fund in the same manner as the refunds authorized by  section  63-3067,
 31    Idaho  Code.  An application for any refund which is due and payable under the
 32    provisions of this section must be filed with the state tax commission by  the
 33    due  date, including extensions, of the return required under section 63-3030,
 34    Idaho Code, if the applicant is required to file a return, or by the fifteenth
 35    day of April of the year following the year to which the  application  relates
 36    if the applicant is not required to file a return.
 37        (4)  The state tax commission may promulgate rules to implement the provi-
 38    sions of this section. The commission may require such receipts and documenta-
 39    tion  from  taxpayers  and  county assessors as are necessary to implement the
 40    provisions of this section. If sufficient moneys  are  not  available  in  the
 41    state  refund fund to pay in full credits or refunds, the state tax commission
 42    may grant a pro rata share to all taxpayers based on the amount of the  credit
 43    for  real property taxes paid pursuant to the formula provided in this section
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1    to ensure soundness of the fund.
                                                                        
  2        SECTION 2.  An emergency existing  therefor,  which  emergency  is  hereby
  3    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
  4    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2001.
