 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for
the purchase of voltage regulation technology


 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill amends the Tax Law.

Section 1 amends Section 210 of the Tax Law, by adding a new
subdivision 41 creating a credit for the purchase of voltage
regulation technology. The section defines eligibility and other
restrictions and requirements, and provides for a tax credit equal to
fifty percent of the cost of voltage regulation technology, up to one
thousand dollars, for all purchases made by such taxpayer.

Section 2 amends subparagraph (B) of subdivision 1 of subsection (i)
of Section 606 of the Tax Law, relating to S corporations, adds the
voltage regulation technology tax credit under subsection (qq).

Section 3 amends section 606 by adding a new subsection (qq). This
subsection provides for a credit for the purchase of voltage
regulation technology. The section defines eligibility and other
restrictions and requirements, and provides for a tax credit equal to

fifty percent of the purchase price of such technology up to a one
thousand dollar limit for all purchases made by such taxpayer.

Section 4 provides that this act shall take effect on the first of
January next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law,
and shall apply to taxable years commencing after such date, further
providing that the empire state film production credit under
subsection (gg), the empire state commercial production credit under
subsection (jj) and the credit for companies who provide
transportation to individuals with disabilities under subsection (oo)
of section 606 of the Tax Law contained in section 3 of this act shall
expire on the same date as provided in section 9 of part P of Chapter
60 of the Laws of 2004, as amended, section 10 of part v of Chapter 62
of the Laws of 2006, as amended and section 5 of Chapter 522 of the
Laws of 2006, as amended, respectively.

 PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION :

Demand for electricity continues to increase in New York. Supplying
such increased demand must eventually lead to construction of new
power plants, increased carbon emissions and increased demand for
foreign oil. It makes more sense to increase efficiency, when
possible, both to reduce energy costs for homeowners and businesses
and to reduce the need for more electricity. This bill gives added
incentive to taxpayers to invest in voltage regulation technology that
will allow them to use electricity more efficiently, reducing their
costs while at the same time helping our environment.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on the first of January after becoming law,
with provisions.
