If the taxpayer or a successor in the business of the taxpayer ceases operations at a facility in New Mexico for at least one hundred eighty consecutive days within a two- year period after the taxpayer has claimed an alternative energy product manufacturers tax credit, the department shall not grant additional alternative energy product manufacturers tax credits with respect to that facility. Any amount of the approved credit with respect to that facility that is not claimed against the taxpayer’s modified combined tax liability shall be extinguished, and within thirty days after the one hundred eightieth day of cessation of operations, the taxpayer shall pay the modified income tax liability against which an approved credit was taken. For the purposes of this section, a taxpayer shall not be deemed to have ceased operations during reasonable periods for maintenance or retooling, for the repair or replacement of facilities damaged or destroyed or during labor disputes.
