This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit for supermarkets that

60 percent of the statewide median household income and where the number of

supermarkets is less than the average number of supermarkets in other areas of the

state. A taxpayer may claim a credit equal to 10 percent of the taxpayer's tax liability
