                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6417

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing an empire
state digital media production credit


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To provide tax credits to digital media companies located in New York
State.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section 1 adds a new section 31 to the tax law to provide for $7
million in tax credits for digital media companies located in New
York. Four million dollars would be allocated annually two and
one-half million upstate on one and one-half million dollars in the
Metropolitan commuter District. A qualified digital media company
would be eligible for a 20% credit of its eligible production costs in
excess of $50,000 for upstate companies and $100,000 in the
Metropolitan commuter District.  Sections 2 and 3 would make
conforming amendments by adding a new section 41 to the tax law and a
new subsection (b) of paragraph I of subsection (i) of section 606 of
the tax law, respectively. Section 4 is the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :
Several states, including New York, have recognized that tax credits

for certain industries have resulted in economic benefits for the
state both in terms of jobs and increased tax revenues from
businesses. To ensure that New York remains competitive, it is
important that it keep pace with other states in attracting and
maintaining industries like the digital media industry. This industry
is a fast growing industry that New York should continue to maintain.
To do so, the state needs to make sure such industries are cultivated
and encouraged to create their products here. New York has enacted and
enhanced (in 2008) its film tax credit which has had a positive
economic benefit to the state.

Digital media tax credits will attract businesses to New York to
develop software and games for national distribution. Given the
strength of New York's system of higher education, companies will be
looking to New York's colleges and universities for the research and
development of their products. The "licensing rights" for projects in
software development were started back in the 1980's under the
Bayh-Dohl Act which allows tax exempt colleges and universities to
retain ownership of intellectual property developed with federal
research dollars. In doing this, a college or university can license,
on a tax exempt basis, any Intellectual property ("IP") resulting from
federally sponsored projects to a commercial entity through a license
tied to future royalties from a successful product venture, which
allows that business to commercially utilize the resulting IP on
attractive financial terms.

Since enacting Bayh-Dohl, many states, including New Jersey and
Connecticut, have provided business tax credits to companies that
create such intellectual property. This has resulted in higher paying
jobs in many areas of these states, centered around their universities
and colleges.  New York should follow this trend to ensure it remains
competitive.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2008: A.11188 Referred to Ways and Means

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
To be determined

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately and shall apply to taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2010.
