 4 (1) A resident taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided herein
 5 equal to the greater of one hundred dollars times the number of qualify-
 6 ing children of the taxpayer or the applicable percentage of the child
 7 tax credit allowed the taxpayer under section twenty-four of the inter-
 8 nal revenue code for the same taxable year for each qualifying child.

 15 child shall be a child who meets the definition of qualified child under
 16 section 24(c) of the internal revenue code. The applicable percentage
 17 shall be [thirty-three] forty-five percent. For purposes of this
 18 subsection, any reference to section [24] twenty-four of the Internal

 20 diately prior to the enactment of Public Law 115-97.
