                case of a trade or business, such use is conducted in 
                the ordinary course of the type of trade or business of

    (a) In General.--Paragraph (3) of section 162(m) is amended to read 
as follows:
            ``(3) Covered employee.--For purposes of this subsection, 
        the term `covered employee' means, with respect to any taxpayer 
        for any taxable year, an individual who--
                    ``(A) was the chief executive officer of the 
                taxpayer, or an individual acting in such a capacity, 
                at any time during the taxable year,
                    ``(B) is 1 of the 4 highest compensated officers of 
                the taxpayer for the taxable year (other than the 
                individual described in subparagraph (A)), or
                    ``(C) was a covered employee of the taxpayer (or 
                any predecessor) for any preceding taxable year 
                beginning after December 31, 2006.
        In the case of an individual who was a covered employee for any 
        taxable year beginning after December 31, 2006, the term 
        `covered employee' shall include a beneficiary of such employee 
        with respect to any remuneration for services performed by such 
        employee as a covered employee (whether or not such services 
        are performed during the taxable year in which the remuneration 
        is paid).''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply 
to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006.
