TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to the tax credits for the
rehabilitation of historic properties

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To exempt the tax credit for rehabilitation of historic properties
from the temporary deferral of tax credits found in the 2010-2011
Revenue Bill, S.6610C/A.9710D.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 removes the tax credit for rehabilitation of historic
properties from the list of tax credits subject to deferral pursuant
to part Y of S.6610C/A.9710D.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

This bill ensures that the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (HRTC),
specifically the credit for the rehabilitation of historic

properties, remains a vital tool for economic development in New York
state by exempting it from the current proposal to defer certain tax
credits. The current deferral plan found in Part Y of the 2010-2011
Revenue bill would defer historic rehabilitation tax credits above $2
million in value until 2013. While this $2 million cap presumably
eliminates a number of credits from the impact.
of the deferral plan, as applied to the HRTC, the deferral will impede
financing for the largest, most catalytic projects capable of
spurning economic development. Such projects generate the largest and
most sustained construction employment and post-construction jobs and
have the most trans formative value, both economically and in terms
of community renewal.

The current HRTC program was created in such a way to promote economic
growth and development even in the midst of difficult economic times.
Thus, the current deferment proposal would significantly . weaken the
program as an economic development tool. By carving out the HRTC
from the tax credit deferment package, we protect the vitality of a
program that catalyzes economic activity and promotes environmental
sustainability within communities across the state of New York.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

08/11/10 - Referred to Ways and Means

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:


Immediately.

2011-S1797B (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1797B

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to the tax credits for the
rehabilitation of historic properties

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To exempt the tax credit for
rehabilitation of historic properties from the temporary deferral of
tax credits found in the 2010-2011 Revenue Bill, S.6610C/A.9710D.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 removes the tax credit for
rehabilitation of historic properties from the list of tax credits
subject to deferral pursuant to part Y of S.6610C/A.9710D.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date for the first of January of
the next succeeding year after it has become a law.

JUSTIFICATION:
This bill makes whole the Historic Rehabilitation Tax
Credit (HRTC), specifically the credit for the rehabilitation of
commercial properties, to assure it is restored in 2012 to serve as a
vital tool for economic development in New York State by exempting it
from the final year of the deferral imposed in 2010 on certain state

tax credits.

The HRTC has been significantly affected by the deferral program,
resulting in delayed or abandoned rehabilitation projects in
communities across New York State, and the loss of out-of-state
investment to fully-functioning rehabilitation tax credit programs in
other states.
Developer and investor confidence in the recently established HRTC has
been severely eroded, further impeding its use.

The deferral threshold of $2 million has effectively exempted many of
the thirty credits subject to deferral from significant impacts;
however, this threshold impacts the HRTC in unique ways. It prevents
large rehabilitation projects from fully utilizing the HRTC program.
Such projects generate the largest and most sustained construction
employment and post-construction jobs and have the most
transformative economic and community renewal value for urban areas.
Furthermore, it prevents national investors from capitalizing
multiple rehabilitation projects in New York. This has prevented
numerous small and medium scale projects in communities throughout
the state from securing financing necessary to start reconstruction.

The HRTC program was drafted to promote economic growth and community
redevelopment in a fiscally responsible manner. The imposition of a
deferral upon the commercial program has significantly weakened the

program as an economic tool. With a program sunset in 2014, restoring
program integrity in 2012 will provide developers and municipal offices
across New York State with the opportunity to resume project
development efforts, which will catalyze economic activity and
promote environmental sustainability in communities across the state
well in advance of credit issuance by New York State.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
08/11/2010 - Referred to Ways and Means (Hoyt)

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Because the deferral has severely impeded use of
the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program, the original fiscal
impacts calculated for this program have not been realized. Projects
completed in 2011 will still be subject to the deferral. Only
projects placed in service after January 1, 2013 with credit value in
excess of $2 million will generate a fiscal impact from this change.
Estimated fiscal savings from this program due to the deferral
program in 2010 were calculated by the Preservation League of New
York State to be no more than $1.8 million in savings across New York
State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of January
next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
