BILL NUMBER:S4758

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public housing law, in relation to federal low-income
housing credits

PURPOSE:
This bill would provide for the allocation of federal low income
housing tax credits among owners pursuant to an executed agreement.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill would amend section 25 of the public housing law, relating
to the co-ordination of federal low income housing tax credits with
the state low income housing tax credit program to allow a pass
through of the credit to persons designated, members, or owners
pursuant to a written agreement among the persons designated as
partners, members or owners, which agreement documents an alternative
distribution method without regard to sharing of other tax or
economic attributes of the entity, including how the federal low
income housing tax credit is allocated to the partners, members, or
owners.

JUSTIFICATION:
Tax credit programs are widely seen as the primary mechanism for
successfully producing and preserving affordable rental housing. As a

result of the recent financial crisis, state and federal tax credit
programs have been disrupted, as is the case in New York. The problem
has been further exacerbated in New York where the state tax credit
is not bifurcated, unlike the case in many other states.

New York's low income housing credit tax program was established in
2000 pursuant to Article 2-A of the Public Housing Law and was
designed to encourage the development of low income housing. This
bill would allow the bifurcation of state tax credits from federal
tax credits and permit separate investors and permit separate
investors to purchase the state and federal tax credits. It would not
preclude any single investor from purchasing both the state and
federal tax credits.

The proposed change would open up the existing market to a new class
of investors including banks, corporations, and insurance companies
and would, based upon research conducted in other states which allow
bifurcation, create additional demand on the market for state tax
credits. This demand would drive up pricing among investors as
pricing as competition is increased. This would translate into
greater private investment in affordable housing without any material
cost to the state.

As an example, under the current program, a project awarded a $7.5
million allocation of state low income housing tax credit over a 10
year period would translate into a private equity investment of $3.75
million. It. is estimated that if enacted, this change would allow
the same $3.75 million to be sold to private equity investors for
$4.125 million, or 10% more. The additional investment will help


finance more units, increase affordability, and create more jobs in
New York.

This change will increase demand for and leveraging ability of a
program that has been in existence in New York since 2000, while not
requiring any increase in funding. The proposed changes are
anticipated to generate a substantial (estimated 10%) increase in
equity raised from the state tax credit program and will greatly
enhance its effectiveness in creating and fostering investment in
affordable housing throughout the state.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

BILL NUMBER:S4758C             REVISED 2/14/12

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing
that the low income housing credit shall be treated as an overpayment
of taxes

PURPOSE:  This bill would convert the state low income housing tax,
credit to a refundable tax credit to help stimulate low income housing
investment in the state.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:  This bill would amend subdivision 30 of
section 210 of the tax law to provide that for allocations of housing
tax credit made pursuant to law after January 1, 2012, the corporate
franchise low income housing tax credit shall be treated as a
refundable tax credit. Paragraph 3 of subsection(x) of section 606 of
the tax law is amended to convert the existing low income housing tax
credit to a refundable low income housing tax credit for allocations
of housing tax credit made after taxable years beginning after January
1, 2012. Paragraph 3 of subsection (1) of section 1456 of the tax law
is amended to convert the existing low income housing tax credit to a
refundable low income housing tax credit for allocations of credit
made subsequent to January 1, 2012. Paragraph 3 of subdivision (n) of
section 1511 of the tax law is amended to convert the low income
housing tax credit to a refundable tax credit for purposes of the
Insurance Franchise Tax for allocations of tax credit made after
January 1, 2012.  Furthermore, in order to obtain treatment as a

refundable credit for these taxes, a project must have received an
eligibility statement from the commissioner of housing and community
renewal pursuant to article two-A of the public housing law.

JUSTIFICATION:  Tax credit programs are widely seen as the primary
mechanism for successfully producing and preserving affordable rental
housing. As a result of the recent financial crisis, state and federal
tax credit programs have been disrupted, as is the case in New York.
The problem has been further exacerbated in New York where the state
tax credit is less marketable, unlike the case in many other states.

New York's low income housing credit tax program was established in
2000 pursuant to Article 2-A of the Public Housing Law and was

Refundable housing tax credits are more desirable than non refundable
credits and would work to create a greater demand in the marketplace.
This bill would permit investors to obtain a broader class of
investors including banks, corporations, and insurance companies and
would create additional demand on the market for state tax credits.
This demand would drive up pricing among investors as pricing as
competition is increased. This would translate into greater private
investment in affordable housing which will help drive housing
development within the state.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S. 4758B-2011/Senate 3rd reading calendar.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: This bill authorizes no additional tax credit
authority and would result in no further reduction in tax receipts.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect immediately.
