The total amount of employment incentive payments authorized by this article shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in any fiscal year. To insure that credits are not claimed in excess of this amount, a taxpayer may claim the incentive payments only upon presentation of an authorizing certificate. Certificates will be issued to the taxpayer by the Department of Labor and Industry upon presentation to the Department of Labor and Industry of evidence of a qualifying offer of employment. If necessary to avoid certificate issuances in excess of the maximum authorized amount for any fiscal year, the department shall advise the Department of Labor and Industry of the total number of certificates which may be issued in each calendar quarter.
