(b) No taxpayer claiming a credit under this section for cash investment in stock issued by Kansas Venture Capital, Inc. shall be eligible to claim a credit for the same investment under the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 74-8301 to 74-8311, inclusive, and amendments thereto.

(c) The provisions of this section, and amendments thereto, shall be applicable to all taxable years commencing after December 31, 1997, until all allowed credits are exhausted.

Stat. Ann. § 79-32,110, and amendments thereto, and shall be applied only against such taxpayer’s corporate income tax liability.
