 AN  ACT to amend the public housing law, in relation to low income hous-
   ing tax credit eligibility
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 5 and subdivision 6 of section
 21  of the public housing law, as added by section 1 of part CC of chap-
 ter 63 of the laws of 2000, are amended to read as follows:
   (b) would be a qualified low-income building under such section if the
 20-50 test specified in subsection (g)(1) of such  section  were  disre-
 garded  and  the 40-60 test specified in such subsection (requiring that
 at least forty percent of residential units be both rent-restricted  and
 occupied  by  individuals  whose income is sixty percent or less of area
 median gross income) were a [40-90] 60-125 test.
   6. "Qualified basis" of an  eligible  low-income  building  means  the
 qualified  basis  of such building determined under section 42(c) of the
 internal revenue code, or which would be determined under  such  section
 if  the  [40-90]  60-125  test specified in paragraph (b) of subdivision
 five of this section applied under such section 42 to determine if  such
 building were part of a qualified low-income housing project.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
