If the donation is not received by the intended recipient within sixty days after the date of approval, the intended recipient shall so notify the department, and the department shall deduct the amount of the authorized credit from the department's applicable total of credits the department has authorized for the purpose of determining whether the applicable annual credit limit has been reached. If the donation is received within sixty days after the date of approval, the recipient shall issue a receipt to the taxpayer.

(iv) The entity will not limit the availability of its qualified scholarships to students of only one school.
(v) The entity will award at least fifty per cent of its new qualified scholarships to students who did not attend chartered nonpublic schools in this state in the preceding school year.

The department shall approve or deny the application and shall issue written notice of the department's decision to the applying entity within twenty days after receiving the application.

The parent or guardian shall endorse the check making it payable only to the school. Before delivering a check to the school, the educational scholarship organization shall obtain a written statement from the school in which the school affirms that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
