2. On or before October first of each year each state department authorized by law to offer deductions, exemptions, credits or other tax preferences shall submit to the budget director the estimated amount of such tax expenditures for the fiscal year beginning July first of the following year and a cost/benefit analysis of such tax expenditures for the preceding fiscal year. Such estimates and analysis shall be in the manner and form prescribed by the budget director and shall be submitted by the budget director to the chairman of the senate appropriations committee and the chairman of the house budget committee by January first of each year.
3. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the amount of tax credits allowed to be redeemed in any fiscal year of the state shall be limited by and subject to that amount appropriated for each specific tax credit program for the respective fiscal year. No new tax credits, except the senior citizens property tax credit as referenced in chapter 135, RSMo, shall be issued or certified for any tax year beginning after July first of the following year unless the estimate of such credits have been reviewed and approved by a majority of the senate appropriations committee and the house budget committee.
