When will the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 be effective most likely David Arnold 10-02-2008

If the House passes the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
on 10/3/08, when will it likely be effective?

Specifically, I want to install a solar photovoltaic system on my
business this year (2008) and claim the 30% tax credit.
Unfortunately, since I am subject to AMT I cannot take the solar
investment tax credit against AMT. One of the tax incentives built
into the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 is ability to
take the tax credit even when subject to AMT. I'm trying to figure
out if this will likely become effective in 2008 so that I could
actually install the system this year and get the tax credit even with
AMT in 2008.

Thanks for your thoughts.
