3. The definitions and special rules specified in section 2032A(e) of the Internal Revenue Code shall apply with respect to qualified real property for which an election was made under this section except that rules shall be prescribed by the director of revenue in lieu of the regulations promulgated by the secretary of the treasury.
4. The director shall prescribe regulations setting forth the application of this chapter in the case of an interest in a partnership, corporation, or trust which, with respect to the decedent, is an interest in a closely held business within the meaning of section 6166(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
