                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3083

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the qualified emerging
technology company capital tax credit, to repeal certain provisions of
such law relating thereto; and providing for the repeal of such
provisions upon expiration thereof


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
This legislation would increase the tax credit for equity investments
in small companies engaged in high-technology fields and would extend
the credit to investments in venture capital funds that invest in such
companies.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
The existing credit for equity investments in qualified emerging
technology companies (subdivision 12-F of Section 210 and subsection
(r) of section 606) is amended to:

* Increase the existing credit from ten percent for investments held
for five years and twenty percent for investments held for ten years
to twenty percent for investments held for three years, with half of
the credit allowed during the taxable year the investment was made and
one quarter of the credit allowed during each of the next two years;
* Allow a twenty percent credit over three years for investments in

venture capital funds that make equity investments in qualified
emerging technology companies;
* Allow a forty percent credit over three years for "seed" equity
investments, with seed investments defined as investments "in a
start-up company or a company that may not yet have fully established
commercial operations to enable such company to conduct research to
prove a concept;
* Increase the total amount of credits available to a taxpayer from
$150,000 (for five-year investments) and $300,000 (for ten-year
investments) to $300,000 (regular investments) and $600,000 (seed
investments).

 JUSTIFICATION :
The accelerated growth of companies in emerging technology fields is
critical to ensuring future economic prosperity in New York State. The
State has recently invested millions of dollars in university/industry
research and development with the intent that this R&D would lead to
new products being commercialized in the State and, thus, be a
significant source of quality jobs.

However, entrepreneurs and start-up companies that are key players in
translating R&D into commercial products require large amounts of
outside equity and seed capital to prove a new concept and to fuel
their growth. Testimony received over the past few years from venture
firms, companies, and economic developers in emerging technology
fields has identified a gap in seed funding for entrepreneurs and new
companies. Seed funds account for less than two percent of all venture
capital investments. The largest source of seed funds is from angel
investors, wealthy individuals willing to invest in new companies and
new ideas, yet there has been a recent decline in the percentage of
angel investments going to seed and start-up deals. The tax credit
enhancement provided by this legislation would encourage such
investments and lead to the commercialization of new products by
entrepreneurs and small companies.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2005-06: A.10460
2007-08: A.2400 - Passed Assembly

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
Estimated tax expenditures for this program are $1.6 million in fiscal
year 2009-10 and $3.2 million when fully implemented.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The act would take effect immediately and would apply to taxable years
beginning on and after January 1, 2009. The act would sunset on
December 31, 2015.

Introduced  by  Sen. VALESKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
  printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern-
  ment Operations

AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to the qualified emerging tech-
  nology company capital tax credit, to  repeal  certain  provisions  of
  such  law  relating  thereto;  and  providing  for  the repeal of such
  provisions upon expiration thereof

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

  Section  1.  Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds and
declares that New York state's future economic prosperity is  linked  to
the  accelerated  growth  of  companies  in  emerging technology fields.
Entrepreneurs and companies just starting  out  dominate  these  rapidly
growing  segments  of  the  economy. They are key players in translating
scientific and technological  research  into  commercial  products  with
significant  market  and  job-creation potential. However, entrepreneurs
and start-up companies require large amounts of outside seed capital  to
prove a new concept and to fuel their growth.
  The  legislature further finds that there is not an adequate supply of
seed funding for these entrepreneurial firms.  Seed  funds  account  for
less  than  two  percent of all venture capital investments. The largest
source of seed funds is from angel investors, wealthy individuals  will-
ing  to  invest  in  new  companies  and new ideas, yet there has been a
recent decline in the percentage of angel investments going to seed  and
start-up  deals.  Therefore,  in order to enable entrepreneurs and young
companies to flourish in New York it is necessary to increase the incen-
tives available to angel investors and venture capitalists  who  provide
seed and early-stage capital.
  S  2. Subdivision 12-F of section 210 of the tax law is REPEALED and a
new subdivision 12-F is added to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
