AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to rates  of  payment
  to residential health care facilities based on the historical costs to
  the owner

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 2-a of  section  2808  of  the
public  health  law, as amended by section 52 of part B of chapter 57 of
the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
  (d) For facilities granted operating certificates on  or  after  March
tenth, nineteen hundred seventy-five, recognition of real property costs
in such regulations shall be based upon historical costs to the owner of
the facility, provided that payment for real property costs shall not be
in  excess of the actual debt service, including principal and interest,
and payment with respect to owner's equity, and further  provided  that,
subject  to federal financial participation, and subject to the approval
of the commissioner, effective April first, two  thousand  fifteen,  the
commissioner  may  modify  such  payments  for  real  property costs for
purposes of effectuating a shared savings  program,  whereby  facilities
share  a  minimum of fifty percent of savings, for facilities that elect
to refinance their mortgage loans. For  purposes  of  this  subdivision,
owner's equity shall be calculated without regard to any surplus created
by  revaluation  of  assets and shall not include amounts resulting from
mortgage amortization where the payment therefor has  been  provided  by
real  property  cost  reimbursement;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, AS USED IN THIS
SUBDIVISION THE TERMS "HISTORICAL  COSTS"  AND  "OWNER'S  EQUITY"  SHALL
INCLUDE  THE  FULL REVALUATION OF THE ASSETS OF A FACILITY PURCHASED AND
TRANSFERRED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE OPERATION OF SUCH FACILITY UNDER A
COURT-ORDERED RECEIVERSHIP, BUT ONLY IF:
