Sec. 10. (a) The amount of tax credits allowed under this chapter may not exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) in any state fiscal year.
(b) The department shall:
(1) record the time of filing of each application for allowance of a credit required under section 9 of this chapter; and
(2) approve the applications, if they otherwise qualify for a tax credit under this chapter, in the chronological order in which the applications are filed in the state fiscal year.
(c) When the total credits approved under this section equal the maximum amount allowable in any state fiscal year, an application filed after that time for the same fiscal year may not be approved. However, if an applicant for whom a credit has been approved fails to file the statement of proof of payment required under section 9 of this chapter, an amount equal to the credit previously allowed or set aside for the applicant may be allowed to any subsequent applicant in the year. In addition, the department may, if the applicant so requests, approve a credit application, in whole or in part, with respect to the next succeeding state fiscal year.
