It also modifies sales tax refund limits for businesses in enterprise zones, removing individual caps and establishing a cumulative annual limit of $15 million for certain refunds. The bill revises the Rural Job Tax Credit Program, the Rural Infrastructure Fund, and the tax refund program for qualified target industry businesses, aiming to conform these provisions and provide continued support for economic development, particularly in rural areas.
