A.     Except as otherwise provided in Subsection C of this section, any individual whose state income tax liability after application of allowable credits and tax rebates in any year is lower than the amount of money held by the department to the credit of such individual for that tax year may designate any portion of the income tax refund due him to be paid into the conservation planting revolving fund.  In the case of a joint return, both individuals must make such designation.   

B.     The department shall revise the state income tax form to allow the designation of such contributions in substantially the following form:   

"Conservation Planting Revolving Fund - Check if you wish to        [ ]

contribute a part or all of your tax refund to the Conservation Planting Revolving Fund to pay for the planting of trees in New Mexico. Enter here $   

__________ the amount of your contribution."   

C.     The provisions of this section do not apply to income tax refunds subject to interception under the provisions of the Tax Refund Intercept Program Act [Chapter 7, Article 2C NMSA 1978] and any designation made under the provisions of this section to such refunds is void.
