   Section  1.  Paragraph 1 of subsection (c-1) of section 606 of the tax
 law, as amended by section 1 of part L-1 of chapter 109 of the  laws  of

 nal revenue code for the same taxable year for  each  qualifying  child.
 Provided,  however,  in  the  case  of a taxpayer whose federal adjusted

 section  24(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, the credit shall only be
 equal to the applicable percentage of the child tax credit  allowed  the
 taxpayer under section 24 of the Internal Revenue Code for each qualify-
 ing child. For the purposes of this subsection, a qualifying child shall
 be  a  child  who  meets the definition of qualified child under section
 24(c) of the internal revenue code [and is at least four years of  age].
 The applicable percentage shall be thirty-three percent.
   §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 have become a law and shall apply to taxable years beginning on or after
