Text

1.  The division of finance shall conduct an annual review of each Missouri certified capital company and any qualified investing entities designated by it to determine if the Missouri certified capital company is abiding by the requirements of certifications, to advise the Missouri certified capital company as to the certification status of its qualified investments and to ensure that no investment has been made in violation of sections 135.500 to 135.529 .  The cost of the annual review shall be paid by each Missouri certified capital company according to a reasonable fee schedule adopted by the department.  The division of finance shall report its findings to the department as soon as practicable following completion of the audit.

2.  Any material violation of sections 135.500 to 135.529 shall be grounds for decertification under this section.  If the department determines that a company is not in compliance with any requirements for continuing in certification, it shall, by written notice, inform the officers of the company and the board of directors, managers, trustees or general partners that they may be decertified in one hundred twenty days from the date of mailing of the notice, unless they correct the deficiencies and are again in compliance with the requirements for certification.

3.  At the end of the one hundred twenty-day grace period, if the Missouri certified capital company is still not in compliance, the department may send a notice of decertification to the company and to the directors of the department of revenue and department of commerce and insurance.  Decertification of a Missouri certified capital company prior to the certified capital company meeting all requirements of subdivisions (1) to (3) of subsection 1 of section 135.516 shall cause the recapture of all premium tax credits previously claimed by an investor and the forfeiture of all future credits to be claimed by an investor with respect to its investment in the certified capital company.  Decertification of a Missouri certified capital company after it has met all requirements of subdivisions (1) to (3) of subsection 1 of section 135.516 shall cause the forfeiture of premium tax credits for the taxable year of the investor in which the decertification arose and for future taxable years with no recapture of tax credits obtained by an investor with respect to the investor's tax years which ended before the decertification occurred.  Once a certified capital company has made cumulative qualified investments, including those made through a qualified investing entity and deemed to have been made by the certified capital company, in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent of its certified capital, all future premium tax credits to be claimed by investors with respect to said certified capital company pursuant to sections 135.500 to 135.529 shall be nonforfeitable.  Once a certified capital company has made cumulative qualified investments, including those made through a qualified investing entity and deemed to have been made by the certified capital company, in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent of its certified capital and has met all other requirements under sections 135.500 to 135.529 , it shall no longer be subject to regulation by the department except with respect to the payment of distributions to the Missouri development finance board.
