3 who has placed into service a qualified investment after July 1, 2007, shall,
4 in lieu of the investment tax credit provided in section 63-3029B, Idaho Code,
5 be allowed a nonrefundable credit against taxes imposed by sections 63-3024,
6 63-3025 and 63-3025A, Idaho Code, in the amount of six percent (6%) of the
