  Section  1.  Paragraph  (d)  of subdivision 2-a of section 2808 of the

the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
  (d)  For  facilities  granted operating certificates on or after March

in such regulations shall be based upon historical costs to the owner of
the facility, provided that payment for real property costs shall not be
in excess of the actual debt service, including principal and  interest,

subject to federal financial participation, and subject to the  approval

by revaluation of assets and shall not include  amounts  resulting  from
mortgage  amortization  where  the payment therefor has been provided by
real property cost reimbursement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  AS  USED  IN  THIS
SUBDIVISION  THE  TERMS  "HISTORICAL  COSTS"  AND "OWNER'S EQUITY" SHALL
INCLUDE THE FULL REVALUATION OF THE ASSETS OF A FACILITY  PURCHASED  AND
TRANSFERRED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE OPERATION OF SUCH FACILITY UNDER A
COURT-ORDERED RECEIVERSHIP, BUT ONLY IF:
