Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to 1st edition.
Amends GS 105-164.14B(a) to define owner as a term including a lessee under a capital lease (rather than under a lease-purchase contract). Also deletes the term and definition for strategic partner.
Amends GS 105-164.14B(b)(2) to allow an owner to invest funds required as a minimum investment either directly or indirectly through a related entity (previous version allowed the owner to invest funds directly or indirectly through a related entity or strategic partner, only in the case of a computer manufacturing facility).

Makes these provisions effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
