 PURPOSE :

This bill contains provisions needed to implement the Revenue portion
of the FY 2018 Executive Budget.


This memorandum describes Parts A through RR of the bill which are
described wholly within the parts listed below.

Part A - Establish a Taste-NY alcohol permit

 PURPOSE :

This bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law (ABC) to
allow a Taste-NY operator to apply for a special license to sell
alcoholic beverages at retail for off premise consumption, along with
food and souvenir items.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :

Under current law, for a Taste-NY store to sell alcoholic beverages,
the operator must be a licensed farm brewery, cidery, winery, or
distillery. This limits the number of potential operators and the list
of items sold at a Taste-NY store.

This bill would amend ABC law by adding a new § 63-b to authorize the
issuance of a special license for the sale of alcoholic beverages at
retail for consumption off the licensed premises, to those individuals
or organizations with a written agreement with the NYS Department of
Agriculture & Markets to operate a Taste-NY store. The license would
also allow the operator to offer customers limited samples of such
alcoholic beverages, sell food intended for off premise consumption,
and sell souvenir items. All of these activities, and the types of
alcoholic beverages available for sale, would be governed by the new
section of law as well as the written agreement. No alcoholic
beverages would be sold, or tastings allowed, at a Taste-NY store
along the NYS Thruway, and all licenses would be issued consistent
with federal law and regulations.

This bill would also amend the ABC law by setting the annual license
fee to $500 for this special license, and add it to applicable lists
of licenses pertaining to other various fees, penalties, and the
requirement to post notice of a pending application.

 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :

Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by a minimal
amount annually, beginning in 2018, as well as continue the effort to
promote and expand Taste-NY markets.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect 30 days after it shall become law,
provided that the amendments made by section 3 of the bill would only
take effect under the expiration of the current version of subdivision
3 of section 17 of the ABC law.
Part B - Establish a motion picture theater alcohol permit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law (ABC) to
allow the operator of a motion picture theater to apply for a special
license to sell alcoholic beverages at retail for on premises
consumption.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Under current law, only motion picture theaters that operate and meet
the definition of a restaurant, where all seating is at tables, are
able to obtain a retail on-premises alcoholic beverage license. This
prohibits the ability of a traditional motion picture theater to
obtain a retail on-premises license, and therefore effectively
prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages by traditional motion
picture theaters.
This bill would amend the ABC Law by adding a new § 106(16) to allow
for on premise alcoholic beverage sales in licensed motion picture
theaters under specific conditions. Holders of the license would be
required to ensure the purchaser of alcoholic beverages provides
evidence of their age by identification documentation as described in
§ 65(b), would only allow the purchase of one alcoholic beverage per
transaction, would only allow alcoholic beverages to be sold or
delivered to ticket holders for "PG-13," "R," or "NC-17" rated movies,
and would allow alcoholic beverage sales from one hour prior to the
start of the first motion picture, until the conclusion of the final
motion picture.
This bill would also amend the ABC Law § 64-a(6) to clarify that the
Authority may issue these special on-premises alcohol licenses only to
motion picture theatres meeting certain operational requirements.
This bill would also amend the ABC Law § 64-a(8) to ensure that foods
typically found in a motion picture theater, such as popcorn, candy,
and light snacks, are sufficient to satisfy the food requirements of a
special on-premises license under this chapter.
This bill would also amend the ABC Law by ensuring that motion picture
theaters applying for this license are required to follow the
municipality notification requirements under § 110-b, allowing for
those same municipalities to express an opinion with respect to
whether the application should be approved or denied.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $125,000 in FY
2018, from the collection of licensing fees.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and sunset three years after
enactment. Part C - Convert the NYC PIT STAR Rate Reduction Benefit
into a credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would convert the STAR-related New York City Personal Income
Tax (PIT) rate reduction benefit into a New York State PIT Credit for
New York City (NYC) taxpayers.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Since property taxes are comparatively lower in NYC than other parts
of the state, the STAR exemption is worth less to property owners in
NYC than elsewhere. Yet NYC taxpayers - both homeowners and renters
-support NYC education spending through their personal income taxes.
To offset this disparity, residents of NYC receive two benefits:
1. NYC residents with incomes of $250,000 or less receive a School Tax
Relief Credit against their New York State personal income taxes in
the amount of $125 for spouses filing jointly, and $62.50 for all
others. Note that prior to 2016, the credit applied to their NYC
personal income taxes; it was changed to a New York State PIT credit
as part of the FY 2017 Enacted Budget.
2. NYC residents with incomes below $500,000 are subject to lower NYC
personal income tax rates. The State reimburses NYC for the reduced
income tax collections resulting from this PIT rate reduction.
This bill would convert the NYC PIT rate reduction benefit into a New
York State PIT credit. Like last year's change to the NYC School Tax
Relief Credit, this change would bring about administrative
efficiencies to both NYC and the State by enabling the State to
provide the benefit directly to NYC residents, rather than using NYC's
taxation structure as a pass-through.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. Converting the rate reduction benefit into a credit would
reduce spending by $277 million in FY 2018 and $360 million annually
thereafter, though only about $12 million of the out-year savings is a
true Financial Plan benefit.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
Part D - Cap STAR benefit growth
 PURPOSE :
This bill would impose a zero percent cap upon the growth in Basic and
Enhanced STAR benefits, beginning with the 2017-18 school year.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend Real Prop. Tax L. § 1306-a to lower the cap on
the growth of tax savings under the STAR Program, beginning with the
2017-18 school year. Basic and Enhanced STAR savings would be capped
at the FY 2017 savings amounts in subsequent years for these programs.
Enacted as part of the 2012 Executive Budget, Real Prop.  Tax. L §
1306-a caps the growth of STAR savings at a rate not to exceed 2
percent annually.
STAR was enacted in 1997 to offset rising property taxes for
homeowners, and to provide additional targeted property tax relief to
senior citizens. Since then, enhancements have been made that
contributed to increases in the current and projected cost of the STAR
program. The costs of the STAR program increased approximately 36
percent between FY 2002 and FY 2017. The direct costs of the STAR
program in FY 2016, including reimbursements made under Real Prop.
Tax. L. § 1306-a and St. Fin. L. § 54-f, were over $3.3 billion.
Capping growth of the direct costs to the State of the program at
current levels would limit spending at the State level, and would be a
critical tool in ensuring a balanced State budget.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. Capping the exemption benefits would reduce General Fund
spending by $50 million in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part E - Make participation in the Income Verification Program (IVP)
mandatory for enhanced STAR recipients
 PURPOSE :
This bill would make participation in the STAR Income Verification
Program (IVP) mandatory for senior citizens wishing to receive
Enhanced STAR.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
In order to be eligible for Enhanced STAR, the applicant's income must
not exceed $86,000 for 2017. Under current law, applicants are
required to demonstrate their income eligibility in one of two ways:
1. They may bring income documentation (generally, an income tax
return) to the assessor's office each year, as part of an annual
renewal application process. The assessor would then determine their
eligibility based on the documentation provided.
2. Alternatively, they may enroll in the STAR IVP, which would
authorize the Department of Taxation and Finance (Department) to
annually determine their income eligibility based upon their personal
income tax records. The Department would then notify the assessor of
the Department's findings. Applicants who have enrolled in the IVP
need not reapply for the exemption so long as they file a personal
income tax return each year.
This bill would eliminate the first option and requires all Enhanced
STAR recipients to be enrolled in the IVP, effective with applications
for the exemption on FY 2018 assessment rolls. This would include
recipients of the Senior Citizens Exemption, who previously received
Enhanced STAR automatically. The bill would also extend the IVP to
applicants for the Enhanced STAR Personal Income Tax (PIT) credit.
In addition, to ensure that the Department can accurately verify the
incomes of low-income persons who are not legally required to file
income tax returns, the bill would provide that to receive the
exemption, such persons must report the sources and amounts of their
income to the Department, in a manner prescribed by the Department.
Further, to maximize administrative efficiency, this bill would
provide that when an eligibility question is resolved by the
Department after school taxes have been levied, the Department may pay
the refund to the taxpayer directly, or collect the deficiency from
the taxpayer directly, as appropriate.
Verifying eligibility requirements ensures that the appropriate amount
of benefit is given to the appropriate taxpayer. For example, prior to
the implementation of the STAR Registration Program, numerous
properties received Basic STAR exemptions to which they were not
entitled. This is because the Department did not have a direct role in
the verification of eligibility for Basic STAR (which is subject to a
fixed income limit of $500,000 and restricted to the taxpayer's
primary residence). Once the STAR Registration Program was in place
and taxpayer identification numbers of all Basic STAR recipients
became available to the Department, a more thorough eligibility
verification process could be conducted.
As the STAR Registration Program does not extend to the Enhanced STAR
exemption, the Department does not have the ability to verify that all
Enhanced STAR recipients meet the income (and other) eligibility
requirements. This bill would enable it to do so. This would ensure
that Enhanced STAR would be granted only in appropriate cases; thus,
reducing the cost of the program to the State in the case of
undeserved benefits.
Additionally, by making participation in IVP mandatory, the bill would
make it easier for qualified senior citizens who file tax returns to
keep their Enhanced STAR exemptions-they would no longer need to
reapply for the exemption annually by the locally applicable deadline.
For qualified senior citizens who do not file tax returns, the
Department would develop an uncomplicated application process,
comparable to the filing of a simple tax return, ensuring that these
taxpayers receive the maximum benefit for which they are eligible.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would relieve local assessors from most of the
Enhanced STAR income verification burden and creates consistency with
the changes to the STAR exemption program implemented with the FY 2017
Enacted Budget.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would apply to applications for the Enhanced STAR exemption
beginning with FY 2018 assessment rolls.
Part F - Allow taxpayers to make partial tax payments
 PURPOSE :
This bill would enable property owners to make partial payments
against their property tax bills, subject to local option.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Under current law, taxpayers cannot make partial payments of their
property taxes, except where there is a statute specifically
authorizing partial payments to be made. Although this general
prohibition may have been necessary in a past era when accounting for
tax receivables was done manually, but in today's digital world, it is
no longer sound policy for the following reasons:
1. It creates hardship for taxpayers who may not always have the funds
available to pay their property tax bills in full when due.
2. It creates hardship for taxpayers who mistakenly write checks that
are slightly below the amount due. In such cases, the checks are
returned to the taxpayer, who would be charged interest on the full
amount owed if the mistake isn't corrected by the due date (which is
often the case).
3. It creates hardship for municipalities since partial payments must
be returned, even though municipalities would benefit from having
those funds available.
To benefit both taxpayers and municipalities, this bill would now
allow for partial payments unless the municipality passes a resolution
stating otherwise. The municipality would be authorized to establish
conditions under which the partial payment option is permitted (e.g.,
the imposition of a service charge not to exceed $10 per payment), or
it may eliminate the option altogether if it so chooses.
The amounts that remain due after a partial payment is made would be
subject to interest and penalties at the rates that are applicable to
late payments. As a result, the amount of interest and penalties due
would now be less than if the entire payment had been late.
To ensure that municipalities would have sufficient lead time to
adjust their accounting systems, this bill would not impact tax
collections until January of 2019.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget since it creates consistency with the changes to the STAR
exemption program implemented with the FY 2017 Enacted Budget and
provides relief for both taxpayers and municipalities.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to the collection of
property taxes, special ad valorem levies and special assessments for
fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
Part G - Relax the tax secrecy rules for STAR credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would make the names and addresses of taxpayers applying for
or receiving the STAR credit public information.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
In 2016, New York State converted the STAR exemption to the STAR
credit. For taxpayers receiving the STAR exemption, their names and
addresses are publicly available thru the assessment rolls. This bill
would apply the existing tax secrecy rules used for the STAR exemption
to the STAR credit.
This bill would amend Tax Law § 606(eee)(7) to make publicly available
the names and addresses of applicants, and those who are receiving,
the STAR credit to the same extent as the names and addresses of
individuals who have applied for, or are receiving, the STAR exemption
authorized by Real Property Tax Law § 425.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. Allowing the Department of Taxation and Finance to share STAR
credit information with local assessors would supplement the
Department's efforts to identify primary residency changes, duplicate
exemptions/credits, and other modifications.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part H - Technical fix for the Co-op's STAR Credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would adjust the STAR credit amount received by
tenant-stockholders of cooperative apartment corporations to match the
amount that tenant-stockholders would receive if they were separately
assessed.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Under existing law, cooperative apartment corporations have their real
property valuation assessed for the building as a whole;
tenant-stockholders do not receive separate assessments. This makes it
difficult for the Department of Taxation and Finance (Department) to
properly calculate the STAR credit amount that each tenant-stockholder
should receive.
This bill would amend Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) § 425(2)(k)(ii) to
require local assessors to provide the Department with a statement
setting forth the taxable assessed value attributable to each
tenant-stockholder, without regard to the STAR exemption, as well as
other information as the commissioner deems necessary to properly
calculate the STAR credit. It would also amend Tax Law §
606(eee)(1)(E) to provide that a tenant-stockholder's STAR credit
amount would be based upon the taxable assessed value as determined by
the assessor. Finally, the bill would repeal Tax law § 606(eee)(6)(A)
because this provision dealing with the calculation of the credit for
tenant-stockholders would no longer be necessary.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would ensure that a co-op STAR PIT credit does not
exceed what the co-op owner would have been charged in school taxes if
it were separately assessed.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, provided that it would first
be applied beginning with the 2017-2018 school year.
Part I - Extend Oil and Gas Fee Expiration Date
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the existing provisions of Real Property Tax
Law § 593 to March 31, 2021.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Real Property Tax Law § 593 sets forth a schedule of fees to recover
the cost of setting unit of production values for the gas and oil
industry. The law is currently set to expire on March 31, 2018. This
legislation would extend this section to March 31, 2021.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget to ensure gas and oil producers' assessments would be
determined on a uniform, rational basis throughout the State. The
implementation of this bill in the FY 2018 Executive Budget would also
ensure that the provisions do not lapse before their March 31, 2018
expiration date.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part J - Authorize SUNY Chancellor to certify and approve the
disbursement of funds for veterans' homes operated by the SUNY
 PURPOSE :
This bill would authorize State University of New York ("SUNY")
Chancellor, instead of State Education Department (SED), to certify
and approve the disbursement of funds for veterans' homes operated by
SUNY.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Chapter 432 of the Laws of 2016 stipulates that the Commissioner of
Health must certify and approve the disbursement of funds for
veterans' homes operated by the Department of Health, and that the
Commissioner of Education must certify and approve the disbursement of
funds for veterans' homes operated by SUNY.
There is currently one veterans' home operated by SUNY, the Long
Island State Veterans' Home, which is affiliated with Stony Brook
University. As SED has no involvement in the care and maintenance of
this home, the SUNY Chancellor is better suited to certify and approve
the disbursement of funds used for those purposes. This bill would
accomplish that goal.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget to ensure that funds for the veterans' home operated by SUNY
are appropriately distributed.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect on the same date and in the same manner as
Chapter 432 of the Laws of 2016.
Part K - Establish Life Sciences Tax Credits
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the benefits of the Excelsior Jobs Program Act
to life sciences companies, and amend the Tax Law to add two new
refundable tax credits applicable specifically to life sciences
companies that are new businesses: a research and development tax
credit for life sciences companies, and an angel investor tax credit
for taxpayers that invest in life sciences companies.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Life sciences companies are companies in the fields of biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals, biomedical technologies, life systems technologies,
health informatics, health robotics, or biomedical devices, and
organizations and institutions that devote the majority of their
efforts in the various stages of research, development, technology
transfer and commercialization related to any such fields. New York
does not currently offer capital subsidies and tax incentives for such
companies. The tax incentives provided by this bill are a concerted
effort to increase New York's share of industry-funded bioscience
research and development.
This bill would amend the Excelsior Jobs Program Act to extend the
program to life sciences companies. In doing so, these companies would
become eligible for the existing refundable Excelsior investment tax
credit, research and development tax credit, jobs tax credit and real
property tax credit. This bill would also amend the Economic
Development Law to enable the program to issue credits for an
additional three years, through the 2029 tax year.
In addition, this bill would amend the Tax Law to add a refundable
credit for life sciences companies that are new businesses, equal to
15 percent of their research and development expenditures, with the
rate increasing to 20 percent for small new businesses with less than
10 employees. This tax credit would be available to new life sciences
companies for a period of up to ten years, with each new life sciences
company eligible to receive the credit for up to five years.  The
lifetime maximum amount of credits allowed to a particular life
sciences company would be $500,000. The Department of Economic
Development would be authorized each year to award $10 million of
credits to life sciences companies, funded with an annual allocation
from the Excelsior Jobs Program.
Further, the Tax Law also would be amended to establish a refundable
angel investor tax credit available to taxpayers that invest in life
sciences companies that are new businesses with twenty or fewer
employees and gross receipts not greater than $500,000 during the
immediately preceding year. The tax credit would equal 25 percent of
each angel investment in a life sciences company made during the
taxable year and would be available to investors for a period of up to
ten years. Each investor would be allowed up to $250,000 in credits
over the course of the ten-year period. The Department of Economic
Development would be authorized each year to award $5 million of
credits to angel investors.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would reduce All Funds revenue by $5 million
annually for FY 2020 through FY 2029.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, and would apply to taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Part L - Expand the workforce training credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Employee Training Incentive Credit Program
to incentivize companies to include incumbent worker training as part
of their expansion and retention projects, and expand the credit to
include training for employees working in life sciences.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
A skilled and adaptable workforce is vital to a company's
competitiveness in New York. Given the speed at which business
processes evolve, enhancing employee skills becomes a crucial
component of meeting market demands. To help employers invest in New
York's workforce, this bill would amend the Employee Training
Incentive Program (ETIP). This revised ETIP program would incentivize
companies to include incumbent worker training as part of their
expansion and retention projects, without a requirement to create new
jobs, and also expand this incentive to the life sciences sector.
Section 1 of the bill would eliminate the requirement that eligible
training be provided to employees filling net new jobs and allows such
training to cover internship programs in life sciences as well as
advanced technology. It would amend the definition of significant
capital investment needed for eligibility into the program to require
a company to make a capital investment in new business processes or
equipment, the cost of which is equal to or exceeds ten dollars for
every one dollar of tax credit allowed pursuant to Tax Law §§
210-B(50) or 606(ddd). Previously, the capital investment was at least
$1 million.
Section 2 of the bill eliminates the requirement that a company must
create ten net new jobs to be eligible for the program.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. It has no impact on the State's Financial Plan.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part M - Extend the Empire State Film Production Tax Credit and
Post-Production Tax Credit for three years
 PURPOSE :
To extend the Empire State film production tax credit and Empire State
film post-production tax credit for three years through 2022.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to extend the Empire State film
production tax credit for three additional tax years (2020-2022), and
also provide $420 million annually in allocable tax credits for each
of these additional tax years. Additionally, the increase in the
annual allocation from $7 million to $25 million for the Empire State
film post-production credit, which constitutes a subset of the $420
million total annual allocation, would be extended for tax years 2020
through 2022. Currently, the funding and increase in the annual
allocation for post-production are scheduled to expire for tax years
beginning after 2019.
This bill would also extend, for three years (2020-2022), the
additional credit available (10 percent) for both film production
projects and post-production projects, in certain New York counties,
for wages or salaries paid to individuals directly employed by a
qualified film production company or qualified post production
facility. This additional credit is scheduled to expire for tax years
beginning after 2019.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would decrease All Funds revenue by $31 million in
FY 2022.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part N - Create the New York Youth Jobs Program Tax Credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the Urban Youth Jobs Program tax credit for
five years to 2022 and rename the program as the New York Youth Jobs
Program tax credit.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend subdivisions (a),(d) and (e) of Labor Law § 25-a
to authorize additional allocations of $50 million per year in tax
credits to be awarded in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 for employers
participating in the program. The bill would also rename the program
as the "New York Youth Jobs Program tax credit" to reflect that the
program is now offered statewide.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
This bill would decrease All Funds revenue by $50 million annually in
each of FY 2020 through FY 2024.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part 0 - Extend the Alternative Fuels Property and Electric Vehicle
Recharging Property Credit for Five Years
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the Alternative Fuels and Electric Vehicle
Recharging Property Credit for five years, through tax years beginning
in 2022.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend Tax Law §§ 187-b, 210-B and 606 to change the
termination date of the Alternative Fuels and Electric Vehicle
Recharging Property Credit from December 31, 2017 to December 31,
2022.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would decrease All Funds revenue by $3 million
annually in each of FY 2020 through FY 2024.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part P - Reform the Investment Tax Credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would reform the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) statute by
identifying certain uses of property for which the ITC would not be
allowed.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend Tax Law §§ 210-B and 606 to provide that the ITC
is not allowed with respect to tangible personal property and other
tangible property principally used by the taxpayer (i) in the
production or distribution of electricity, natural gas, steam, or
water delivered through pipes and mains, or (ii) in the creation,
production or reproduction, in any medium, of a film, visual or audio
recording, or commercial, or in the duplication, for purposes of
broadcast in any medium, of a master of a film, visual or audio
recording, or commercial. The limitation relating to films, recordings
and commercials applies to costs incurred outside of New York State.
When originally enacted, the ITC was targeted specifically at
manufacturers considering locations outside New York and provided an
incentive to modernize, upgrade, or build new manufacturing facilities
in-state. It was never aimed at "captive" industries like retail or
utilities, which depend on proximity to their customers.  This was
codified by prohibiting an ITC for property used in the production of
electricity after a Tax Appeals Tribunal decision that would have
allowed an electric utility to earn an ITC.
It has always been the Department of Taxation and Finance's position
that the intent of the ITC, and the subsequent electricity
prohibition, prohibited property used in the production and
distribution of electricity, natural gas, steam, and water delivered
through pipes and mains from qualifying for the ITC. While the
Department has successfully litigated cases involving property used in
the production and distribution of electricity, natural gas, and
steam, taxpayers continue to claim ITC for similar property. This bill
would clarify that property used in the production or distribution of
electricity, natural gas, steam, and water delivered through pipes and
mains is not eligible for the ITC. In doing so, the statute would be
amend to be consistent with its original intent, provide certainty to
taxpayers, and avoid costly litigation.
The exclusion of property used to produce program masters similarly
reflects the original intent of the ITC and was a specific
recommendation of the New York State Tax Reform and Fairness
Commission. The accounting treatment of program masters assigns a cost
basis, which is the basis of the ITC, equal to all the costs incurred
to produce the content on the master. Thus, it includes all the costs
of filming and producing the content, which can be millions of
dollars. Moreover, none of that activity has to occur in New York to
generate credit; it is sufficient that the completed master merely be
located in New York. Absent this statutory fix, a credit meant to
encourage investment in producing tangible goods in New York could
continue to be used to support activities and jobs outside of the
State.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $20 million
annually beginning in FY 2020.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, and would apply to taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Part Q - Treat disregarded entities as a single taxpayer for tax
credit purposes
 PURPOSE :
This bill would address a decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal that
reversed the longstanding policy of the Department of Taxation and
Finance that single member limited liability companies that are
treated as disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes shall
be similarly disregarded for purposes of determining their owners'
eligibility to claim state tax credits allowed under Article 9, 9-A,
22, 32 (prior to its repeal) or 33 of the Tax Law.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would add a new section 43 to the Tax Law to clarify that a
single member limited liability company ("SMLLC") that is disregarded
as an entity separate from its single member/owner ("a disregarded
SMLLC") for federal income tax purposes shall be treated as a
disregarded SMLLC for purposes of determining whether its owner is
eligible to claim any state tax credit allowed under Article 9, 9-A,
22, 32 (prior to its repeal) or 33 of the Tax Law.
It has been the longstanding policy of the Department of Taxation and
Finance to treat a disregarded SMLLC as a division of its owner for
purposes of determining tax credit eligibility. Thus, for example, for
the last 15 years in administering the tax credits under the Empire
Zones program, the certification of a disregarded SMLLC as an Empire
Zones business under Article 18-B of the General Municipal Law has
been deemed to be the certification of its owner, the taxpayer
actually claiming the Empire Zones tax credits. This established one
fixed date of certification and precluded the extension of benefit
periods through the mere formation of additional SMLLCs. Also, for
purposes of the QEZE real property tax credit, property taxes paid by
a disregarded SMLLC have been treated as property taxes paid by its
single member, the taxpayer claiming the credit.
However, a recent decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal in Matter of
Lisa A. Weber (August 25, 2016) reversed the Department's longstanding
policy. In this decision, the Tax Appeals Tribunal held that two
disregarded SMLLCs owned by the taxpayer, Lisa Weber, should be
treated as distinct entities, separate from each other and separate
from Ms. Weber, for purposes of determining her eligibility for the
Empire Zone wage tax credit derived from the activities of the
disregarded SMLLCs.
While this decision was decided in favor of the particular taxpayer,
the ramifications of this decision are not as favorable to other
taxpayers. The ruling now compels the Department to look at each
disregarded SMLLC separately for purposes of determining tax credit
eligibility. Potentially, many taxpayers would lose their eligibility
to claim Empire Zone tax credits because one disregarded SMLLC was
certified but has no employees to satisfy the required employment test
while another disregarded entity has the requisite employees but no
certification.
This ruling could also affect the QEZE real property tax credit, if
the SMLLC is the owner of record of the property, but the owner or
another SMLLC actually pays the property taxes. Other credits would
potentially be implicated as well. For example, under the Brownfield
Redevelopment tax credit program, one disregarded SMLLC of a taxpayer
could be issued the required certificate of completion when a
brownfield cleanup is completed. But, if another disregarded SMLLC of
that same taxpayer constructs tangible property on the same brownfield
site, the taxpayer would be ineligible to claim the brownfield
tangible property credit.
The Tax Department is not allowed to appeal an adverse Tax Appeals
Tribunal decision. Thus, a statutory amendment to the Tax Law is
necessary to overturn the Tribunal's ruling and protect taxpayers who
relied on the Department's longstanding policy to allow taxpayers to
use disregarded SMLLCs to claim tax credits.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it preserves current Financial Plan revenue estimates.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to all taxable years
for which the statute of limitations for seeking a refund or assessing
additional tax is still open.
Part R - Extend the Personal Income Tax top bracket for three years
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the top tax bracket under the personal income
tax law for three years.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to extend, for three years, the top
tax bracket under the personal income tax. Currently the top tax
bracket, with a rate of 8.82%, is scheduled to expire for taxable
years beginning after 2017. This bill would extend the higher bracket
for taxable years 2018, 2019 and 2020.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $683 million in
FY 2018, $3.4 billion in 2019, $4.5 billion in FY 2020, and $4 billion
in 2021.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part S - Permanently extend the high income charitable contribution
deduction limitation
 PURPOSE :
This bill would make permanent the charitable deduction limitations
for individuals with adjusted gross income of more than $10 million.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Under current law, for tax years ending before 2018, the New York
State itemized charitable tax deduction is limited to 50% of the
federal deduction for individuals with adjusted gross income over $1
million and not greater than $10 million, and 25% of the federal
deduction for individuals with adjusted gross income over $10 million.
These limitations are set to expire at the end of 2017.
Following the expiration of the 2017 limitation, all taxpayers with
adjusted gross incomes over $1 million would be subject to a 50%
limitation.  Therefore, taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes greater
than $1 million but not more than $10 million would continue to be
subject to a 50% limitation, while taxpayers with adjusted gross
income over $10 million would also be subject to a 50% limitation,
rather than the 25% limitation.
This bill would make permanent the current 50%/25% limitation
structure and also make conforming amendments to NYC Administrative
Code § 11-1715(g).
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $70 million in
FY 2019 and $140 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part T - Enhance the Child and Dependent Care Credit
 PURPOSE :
This bill would increase the Child and Dependent Care tax credit
(CDCC) under Tax Law § 606(c) for qualified taxpayers with New York
adjusted gross income (NYAGI) between $50,000 and $150,000.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Currently, the CDCC is a minimum of 20% and as much as 110% of the
Federal Child and Dependent Care Credit depending on the amount of a
taxpayer's NYAGI. Eligible families with lower adjusted gross incomes
receive a higher percentage of the federal credit for which they are
eligible on their State tax return and, therefore, a larger State
credit. The percentage of the federal credit allowed ranges from 20%,
for taxpayers whose NYAGI is $65,000 and above, to 110% for taxpayers
whose NYAGI is $25,000 and below. For taxpayers with a NYAGI between
$50,000 and below $65,000, the CDCC ranges from 85% to 32% of the
federal credit, respectively. The maximum New York State credit is
currently $2,310 for two dependents or more, and $1,155 for one
dependent. The CDCC is refundable at the State level.
The federal credit, which is nonrefundable, allows up to $3,000 of
qualifying expenses for one qualifying person, and up to $6,000 of
expenses for two or more qualifying persons. A qualifying person is a
child under age 13 who can be claimed as a dependent, or a disabled
spouse or other disabled person that can be claimed as a dependent.
This bill would amend Tax Law § 606(c) to increase the credit for
certain household and dependent care services necessary for gainful
employment for taxable years after 2017 for taxpayers whose NYAGI is
between $50,000 and $150,000 annually. This proposal would target
middle income working families who are finding it increasingly
difficult to afford quality child care.
Under the proposal, all taxpayers with incomes between $50,000 and
$150,000 would now be eligible for a CDCC ranging from 100% to 60% of
the federal credit. The percentage of the federal credit allowed by
New York State would be increased by the following factors:
If NY adjusted gross income is :                The factor is:
At least $50,000 and less than $55,000          1.1682
At least $55,000 and less than $60,000          1.2733
At least $60,000 and less than $65,000          2.322
At least $65,000 and less than $150,000         3.000
For example, taxpayers with NYAGI of $55,000 would see their credit
increase from approximately 73% of the federal credit to nearly 93% of
the federal credit. Taxpayers with incomes over $65,000 and less than
$150,000 who currently eligible for a credit equal to 20% of the
federal credit would see their credit increase to 60% of the federal
credit. The average additional credit for those benefitting would be
$208.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would reduce All Funds revenue by $42 million
annually starting in FY 2020.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, and would apply to taxable
years after 2017. Part U - Allow warrantless bank account data
matching
 PURPOSE :
This bill would expand the financial institution data match system for
state tax collection purposes to include information regarding
financial accounts for tax debtors with fixed and final tax debts,
whether or not a warrant has been filed.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Enacted as a part of the 2009 Executive Budget, Tax Law § 1701 allows
the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance to develop and operate a
financial institution data match system for state tax collection
purposes. The financial institution data match system facilitates the
identification and seizure of non-exempt financial assets of tax
debtors. Each financial institution doing business in the state must
provide, to the Department on a quarterly basis, information for each
tax debtor identified by the Department that maintains an account at
the institution.
Under current law, in order to obtain information regarding tax
debtors' accounts that may be available to levy, the Department must
file a public warrant in the appropriate county clerk's office and
with the Department of State. This bill would expand the financial
institution data match system to require the financial institutions to
now include any past due liabilities, including unpaid tax, interest,
and penalty, that have become fixed and final such that the taxpayer
no longer has any right to administrative or judicial review. As a
result, the Department would be able to make more informed and better
decisions regarding whether a levy is the best way to resolve a
collection case, while also reducing the number of public warrants
filed solely for information-gathering purposes, and consequently,
eliminating the long-term negative effect the public warrant has on a
tax debtor's credit history, even after the outstanding liability is
paid off.
It is anticipated that the resulting improved efficiency and
effectiveness of the levy program would generate approximately $15
million in additional revenue annually when fully effective.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $5 million in FY
2018 and $15 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.  Part V - Require New State
Employees to be Compliant with State Tax Obligations
 PURPOSE :
This bill would require tax clearances for new state employees and, at
local option, for new local government employees to verify that these
new public employees are in compliance with their tax obligations.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Public employees - who are paid with tax dollars -- are charged with
administration and enforcement of laws, rules and regulations, and
those who are not in compliance with their tax obligations undermine
the credibility of state and local government.
This bill would require tax clearances from the Tax Department to
verify that new state employees do not have past-due state tax
liabilities and are in compliance with applicable tax return filing
requirements. The bill would also authorize local governments to
require such tax clearances for new public employees. If the
applicant's tax clearance is refused, the government employer would
provide notice to the applicant to contact the Tax Department, which
would provide the applicant with details of the tax compliance issues
and how they may be resolved. One such resolution could be the use of
an installment payment agreement between the employee and government
employer.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $1 million in FY
2018 and $2 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect on June 1, 2017.
Part W - Require practitioners to be compliant with State tax
obligations before receiving excess medical malpractice coverage
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend, for one year, the Physician's Excess Medical
Malpractice Program, commonly known as the "Section 18 Program", for
eligible physicians and dentists for the policy year beginning July 1,
2017. The bill would maintain existing eligibility requirements, and
would add a requirement that physicians and dentists applying for
coverage receive a tax clearance from the Department of Taxation and
Finance before receiving such coverage
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would extend the Physician's Excess Medical Malpractice
Program through June 30, 2018, and would extend, for one year, the
methodology for enrolling in the Physician's Excess Medical
Malpractice Program pool, continue to limit enrollment to physicians
and dentists covered in the prior year, and subject openings due to
attrition to a hospital-based formula.
The bill also would require.physicians and dentists to receive a tax
clearance from the Department of Taxation and Finance in order for the
Superintendent of Financial Services and the Commissioner of Health to
purchase for such physicians and dentists a policy for excess medical
malpractice insurance coverage.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $1 million in FY
2018 and $2 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part X - Permanently extend warrantless wage garnishment
 PURPOSE :
This bill would make permanent the authority for the Commissioner of
Taxation and Finance to serve income executions (wage garnishments) on
individual tax debtors and, if necessary, on the employers of such tax
debtors, without the necessity of filing a warrant.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Enacted as a part of the 2014 budget, Tax Law § 174-c allows the
Commissioner of Taxation and Finance to serve income executions (wage
garnishments) on individual tax debtors and, if necessary, on the
employers of such tax debtors, without filing a public warrant in the
appropriate county clerk's office and with the Department of State.
The law authorizing warrantless income executions is set to expire on
April 1, 2017. Thus, the enactment of this bill would make the
Commissioner's authority permanent.
Tax Law § 174-c was enacted, in part, to protect individuals from
developing a negative credit report and compromising an individual's
ability to secure credit. Moreover, insurance companies have begun to
establish premium rates based upon an individual's credit report, and
it is also common for employers to examine an applicant's credit
report when making hiring decisions. The fact that a publicly filed
warrant can negatively affect a taxpayer's credit rating is
exacerbated by the fact that a warrant remains on the taxpayer's
credit rating for seven years, regardless of whether the liability is
paid in full. Accordingly, a publicly filed tax warrant, which was
required for income executions prior to the enactment of § 174-c,
could unnecessarily penalize an individual taxpayer.
Unwarranted income executions have resulted in incremental revenue of
$75 million since § 174-c was enacted. Furthermore, the legislation
has resulted in 210,000 taxpayers being issued income executions
without public warrants, with a total value of outstanding income
executions of approximately $107.5 million. Of the 210,000 unwarranted
income executions served to date, 112,000 have been fully paid.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $15 million
annually beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part Y - Require New York State S corporation conformity with Federal
return
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to require all corporations subject
to tax in New York that are treated as S corporations for federal tax
purposes also be treated as S corporations for New York State tax
purposes.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Currently, a federal S corporation that is subject to tax in New York
under Article 9-A (e.g., the corporation is doing business or owns
property in the State) can elect to be taxed as an S corporation, or
to be taxed as a C corporation for New York State purposes. If a
federal S corporation is taxed as a New York S corporation, the
corporation is responsible only for the fixed dollar minimum tax, and
the income of the entity is passed through to its shareholders and
taxed at that level. Conversely, if the federal S corporation is taxed
as a New York C corporation, it computes its tax and pays a tax on an
apportioned entire net income or capital base.
Federal S corporations generally choose to pay tax under Article 9-A
as New York C corporations when paying tax at the entity level reduces
the corporation's tax liability. They also may choose to pay tax under
Article 9-A in order to shield its non-resident shareholders from
having a New York tax liability.
Further, if a federal S corporation has elected to treat its wholly
owned subsidiary as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary ("QSSS") for
federal purposes, the QSSS is ignored as a separate taxable entity,
and the assets, liabilities, income and deductions of the QSSS are
included on the parent's return. However, for New York purposes, the
tax treatment of the QSSS is not required to be conformed to the
federal treatment and the QSSS under certain circumstances can be a
stand-alone Article 9-A taxpayer.
While the Tax Law was amended in 2007 to mandate that a federal S
corporation be treated as a New York S corporation in any tax year in
which its investment income exceeded 50% of its federal gross income,
this mandate did not cover the entire universe of federal S
corporations that have elected to be taxed as New York C corporations.
This bill would amend Tax Law § 660(a) to require all federal S
corporations that are subject to tax in New York, or that have
qualified subchapter S subsidiaries subject to tax in New York, to be
treated as S corporations for New York State tax purposes. The bill
would also amend §§ 208 and 210-A of Article 9-A and other provisions
in Article 22 to conform to the elimination of the S corporation
election.
Requiring conformity to the federal S corporation status would
simplify the corporation's and shareholders' New York tax filings,
eliminate potential tax avoidance schemes, and align New York's
treatment of S corporations with that of most other states
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $5 million
annually beginning in FY 2019.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Part Z - Close the co-op sale loophole
 PURPOSE :
This bill would close the loophole in the personal income tax, and
characterize the gain from the sale of entities who own shares in
cooperative housing corporations located in New York as New York
source income.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Currently, the sale by non-residents of real property located in New
York and the direct sale of the shares of a cooperative housing
corporation in New York may generate New York source income subject to
the personal income tax. However, the law does not clearly state that
the sale of the ownership interests in an entity, such as a
partnership, where more than 50% of the entity's assets consist of
shares in a cooperative housing corporation, also generate New York
source income, and are therefore subject to the personal income tax.
This ambiguity creates a platform for taxpayers who own shares in
cooperative housing corporations to divest of those shares without
generating a tax liability under the personal income tax. This
ambiguity also creates disparate treatment amongst similarly situated
taxpayers. For example, if a nonresident sells his interest in an
entity that solely holds rental property in the State, then the gain
from the sale would be taxable. However, if the nonresident sells his
interest in an entity that solely holds cooperative rental units in
the State, the gain is not taxable.
This bill would amend the definition of real property located in this
state to include ownership interests in entities that own shares in a
cooperative housing corporation where the cooperative units are
located in New York for purposes of New York source income in Tax Law
§ 631(b)(1)(A), thereby allowing the gain from the sale of ownership
interests in such entities to be included as New York source income.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $10 million
annually beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
Part AA - Close non-resident asset sale loophole
 PURPOSE :
This bill would close the loophole and impose a tax on nonresident
individuals who are partners in partnerships that sell the
partnership's assets, and then classify the transaction as a sale of
an intangible partnership interest.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to include the gains realized from
the sale of an interest in a partnership by nonresident partners as
New York source income when the underlying transaction reflects a sale
of partnership assets subject to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 1060.
IRC § 1060 provides special rules for the sale of a trade or business
treated as an asset acquisition. In such transactions, the buyer of
the asset is eligible for a step up in basis, while the seller can
treat the transaction as the sale of a partnership interest. On the
federal level, both the seller and buyer would be subject to taxation.
On the State level, however, this results in a loophole with respect
to the State's taxation of nonresidents. This is because an IRC § 1060
election allows the seller to consider the transaction to be the sale
of an intangible interest, which is non-taxable, while the buyer
considers the transaction to be the purchase of an asset, which is
taxable. Gains on these sales are subject to New York State tax for
residents, but for non-residents, the gains are exempt from New York
State tax.
This legislation would close this loophole by characterizing the
transaction for the seller and buyer consistently as a sale of assets,
which in turn would subject the nonresident seller to income tax on
the gain generated by the sale of assets.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $10 million
annually beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part BB - Modernize sales tax collection to reflect the Internet
economy
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to require marketplace providers to
collect sales and use tax on taxable sales of tangible personal
property that they facilitate.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would require marketplace providers to collect sales tax on
taxable sales of tangible personal property that they facilitate.
The sales tax is a tax on the customer that is collected by the
seller. It is well-established that the Department of Taxation and
Finance ("Department") is also authorized to impose such tax
collection responsibilities on parties that facilitate sales (e.g.,
auctioneers, consignment shops and stores with lease departments).
This bill improves on that concept by treating large marketplace
providers that facilitate sales of tangible personal property as
"persons required to collect tax" on such sales, thereby requiring
them to perform all the duties of a vendor, including collecting the
tax, filing a tax return, and remitting the tax collected. The bill
defines a "marketplace provider" as a person who collects the purchase
price, as well as provides the forum, physical or virtual, where the
transaction occurs. The bill provides an exception for small
marketplace providers that facilitate sales exclusively online by
excluding such providers that facilitate less than $100 million in
sales in a calendar year.
To minimize the number of persons who have tax collection
responsibilities, the bill relieves sellers using marketplace
providers of any such responsibilities, as long as the seller
receives, in good faith, a certification from the marketplace provider
on a form authorized by the Department that the marketplace provider
is collecting the tax on the seller's transactions. In fact, a seller
of tangible personal property that makes all of its sales through
marketplace providers that certify they would collect the tax would
have no New York sales tax collection and remittance responsibilities,
and need only file annual information returns.
Shifting the tax collection responsibility to the marketplace provider
would have many benefits. It would ease sales tax collection burdens
for many small businesses in the State, streamline the tax collection
process, improve taxpayer compliance by reducing the number of persons
who handle sales tax monies before they are remitted to the
Department, and result in a level playing field for New York's "Main
Street" retailers that compete with out-of-state sellers that do not
collect tax on sales to New York customers made through marketplace
providers.
The bill does not expand the rules concerning sales tax nexus.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $68 million in
FY 2018 and $136 million annually thereafter.
  Effective Date:
This bill would take effect September 1, 2017 and applies to sales
made or uses occurring after that date.
Part CC - Close sales tax related entities loopholes
  Purpose:
This bill would amend the Tax Law to close the existing tax loopholes
for transactions between related entities.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS, AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
With certain exceptions, existing law allows a purchaser to buy
tangible personal property or services intended for resale exempt from
sales tax. However, certain related entities have exploited this
exemption by purchasing high-dollar-value property exempt from sales
tax and then leasing the property to a member or owner using longterm
leases or lease payments that are a small fraction of the fair market
value of the property.
This bill would amend the sales tax definition of "retail sale" to
include any transfer of tangible personal property to certain entities
when the property would be resold to related person or entities,
including; (1) sales to single member LLCs or subsidiaries that are
disregarded for federal income tax purposes, for resale to a member or
owner; (2) sales to a partnership for resale to one or more partners;
and (3) sales to a trustee for resale to a trust beneficiary. This
change would remove the incentive to use or create those entities to
avoid sales tax.
In addition, current law allows a person or entity that is not a
resident of New York State to bring property or services into this
state for use within the State without incurring use tax. However,
this construct has led to situations where a resident person or entity
creates a new entity, such as a single member LLC, to purchase
high-dollar-value property out of state and bring the property into
New York to avoid the use tax.
This bill would close this loophole by providing that the use tax
exemption in Tax Law § 1118(2) would not apply when a person (other
than an individual) brings property or services into this state unless
that person has been doing business outside of New York for at least 6
months prior to the date the property is brought in to New York. This
amendment would still allow families and ongoing businesses to move
into New York without incurring use tax on property or services
brought into the State.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $9 million in
FY 2018 and $11 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part DD - Make technical amendments to the State and local sales tax
statute
 PURPOSE :
This bill would clarify the imposition of sales tax on the sale of gas
service or electric service, of whatever nature.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend Tax Law § 1105-C to clarify the sales tax is
imposed on the transporting, transmitting, or delivering (T&D) charges
for gas or electricity when the transportation, transmission or
distribution is delivered by the provider of the commodity.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would preserve All Funds receipts that could
otherwise be at risk.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part EE - Apply the Public Safety Communications Surcharge to Prepaid
Devices
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Tax Law to impose the Public Safety
Communications Surcharge on the sale of each prepaid wireless
communication service or device. This bill also would amend the County
Law to authorize any county or city that is currently authorized to
impose an Enhanced Emergency Telephone System Surcharge on wireless
communications service to adopt a local law to impose such surcharge
on the sale of each prepaid wireless communications service or device
within that locality.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would require sellers to collect a surcharge on the sale of
each prepaid wireless communications service or device sold within
this state. The market shift from contract plans to prepaid wireless,
which is not currently subject to the surcharge, is leading to a
steady decline of revenue. The surcharge currently imposed on postpaid
wireless communications service is $1.20 on each device per month. The
prepaid surcharge would be imposed on the sale of each prepaid service
or device at the rate of $0.60 per retail sale that is $30 or less,
and $1.20 per retail sale over $30.
The bill also would expand the authority of municipalities that are
currently authorized to impose a surcharge on postpaid wireless
communications service to impose a similar surcharge on the sale of
each prepaid service or device. The surcharge currently imposed on
postpaid wireless communications service in those municipalities is
$0.30 on each device per month. The prepaid surcharge would be imposed
on the sale of each prepaid service or device at the rate of $0.30 per
retail sale.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $7 million in
FY 2018 and $26 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect December 1, 2017. Part FF - Tax and
regulate vapor products
 PURPOSE :
To regulate vapor products in the same manner as tobacco products, and
impose an excise tax on these products.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Electronic cigarettes, vaping pens, hookah pens and similar devices
typically contain nicotine, the highly addictive substance in all
tobacco products. Recent studies have shown that emissions from these
products may contain tobacco-specific nitrosamines, acetone,
formaldehyde, various metal particles and other volatile ultrafine
particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs. Although the levels
of most of these compounds are lower in emissions than in traditional
tobacco cigarettes, these substances still accumulate in indoor air.
Allowing the use of these products indoors sends a contradictory
message to youth and the non-smoking public about the acceptability of
indoor smoking. Permitting use of these products indoors also creates
enforcement difficulties because these products appear very similar to
cigarettes. A single rule should be applied to all tobacco products.
This bill would amend various sections of the Public Health Law to
extend the regulations on tobacco products to vapor products, defined
as the liquid or gel commonly used in e-cigarettes and similar
devices, regardless of whether or not it contains nicotine. For
example, vapor products would be included under the Clean Indoor Air
Act; coupon restrictions would be extended to include vapor products;
vapor product use would be prohibited on school grounds and by school
bus drivers; and the age verification method would be amended.
Additionally, any person who manufactures, sells, or distributes vapor
products must ensure all components, containing nicotine, qualify as
"special packaging for the protection of children," as defined in 15
U.S.C. § 1471.
Further, this bill would amend Article 20 of the Tax Law to impose an
excise tax on the sale (or use, if not previously taxed) of vapor
products at the rate of 10 cents per fluid milliliter. To facilitate
administration and collection of the tax, wholesalers and distributors
would be required to list the amount of vapor product sold, in
milliliters, on any invoices issued to their customers. The bill would
add record keeping requirements and civil and criminal penalties for
unlawful possession of a vapor product that are equivalent to those in
existing law for other tobacco products.
The unregulated marketing of vapor products threatens the gains that
have been made in reducing tobacco use by youth and adults in New
York. This legislation would protect youth and adults by ensuring that
vapor products are appropriately regulated.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds revenue by $3 million in
2018 and $5 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect on the 180th day after it becomes a law
and apply to vapor products that first become subject to taxation
under Article 20 of the Tax Law on or after that date.
Part GG - Clarify the amount of untaxed cigarettes required to seize a
vehicle
 PURPOSE :
This bill would align the vehicle seizure provisions of the Tax Law
with the presumption of sale provisions of the Tax Law, and conform
the Tax Law counterfeit stamp penalty to the Penal Law penalty for
criminal possession of a forged instrument.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Currently, Tax Law § 1847(a) permits the seizure of a motor vehicle
involved in the transportation of more than 10 cartons of untaxed
cigarettes. However, the penalty for possession or transport of
untaxed cigarettes with "intent to sell" in Tax Law § 1814(d) is not
triggered until a person is in possession of more than 25 cartons of
untaxed cigarettes.
This proposal would align the quantity that triggers the presumption
of sale provision in Tax Law § 1814(d) with the quantity that triggers
vehicle seizure in Tax Law § 1847(a) by lowering the presumption of
sale quantity from 25 to 10 cartons. Aligning these two Tax Law
provisions provides a more consistent and powerful mechanism for Tax
Enforcement agents to effectively control cigarette tax evasion.
Additionally, to further control cigarette tax evasion, this bill
would align the penalties for counterfeit tax stamps to the penalties
for criminal possession of a forged instrument. Under Tax Law §
1814(g), the possession or sale of counterfeit tax stamps, or a device
necessary to manufacture counterfeit tax stamps is a class E felony.
However, under Penal Law § 170.30, criminal possession of a forged
instrument in the first degree, a materially similar crime, is a class
C felony. This proposal would increase the felony charge in Tax Law §
1814(g) from a class E felony to a class C felony to mirror the
penalties in Penal Law § 170.30.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $1 million
annually, beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to offenses
committed on and after such effective date.
Part HH - Expand jeopardy assessments to the cigarette and tobacco tax
 PURPOSE :
This bill would authorize the Department of Taxation and Finance to
issue jeopardy assessments for the collection of the cigarette and
tobacco excise tax.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Where collection of the excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco products
would be jeopardized by delay, this bill would provide that tax may be
assessed prior to the filing of a return and prior to the deadline to
file a return. The assessment would become due and payable immediately
upon notice to the taxpayer. The taxpayer would be able to stay
collection efforts by filing a bond with the Tax Commissioner to
ensure the payment of tax, interest, and penalties. Seized property
would be sold once the assessment is finalized, or earlier if the
taxpayer fails to attend a hearing, the taxpayer consents to the sale,
or where the property is perishable or the expenses of conservation
and maintenance would greatly reduce its value.
Currently, there is no provision for jeopardy assessments to assist in
the collection of the excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco products.
This bill is modeled after Tax Law § 288-a (excise tax on gasoline and
similar motor fuel) and Tax Law § 1138 (sales tax), which authorize
jeopardy assessments for similar collection efforts of other taxes.
The authorization of jeopardy assessments would provide a helpful tool
for use in the prevention of evasion of the cigarette and tobacco
products excise tax.
  Budget Implications:
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $2 million
annually, beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately. Part II - Reform the taxation
of cigars
 PURPOSE :
This bill would reform the cigar tax imposed by Article 20 of the Tax
Law to remedy compliance and enforcement issues. It would change the
method of taxation on cigars from a percentage of the wholesaler's
price to a tax equal to 45 cents per cigar.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would reform the cigar tax to remedy compliance and
enforcement issues that have arisen because of changes in the business
practices of the cigar industry.
Under current law, cigars are taxed at 75% of the wholesale price paid
to the manufacturer by a licensed distributor (who is liable for the
tax). However, if the manufacturer's invoice is not available, the
wholesale price is deemed to be 38% of the price paid by the
distributor, unless the distributor can prove a lower price.
Significant resources have been expended auditing distributors and
litigating challenges to determine the appropriate wholesale price.
Additionally, this has created uncertainty, disparate results among
taxpayers, and significant revenue losses.
This bill would change the method of taxation on cigars from a
percentage of the wholesale price to a tax of 45 cents per cigar. The
imposition of a tax equal to 45 cents per cigar simplifies the tax
calculation for distributors and eliminates a significant audit issue.
The bill would make clear what taxes are due on cigars by eliminating
the wholesale price as a basis of the tax.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $12 million in
FY 2018 and $23 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect on September 1, 2017.
Part JJ - Impose the real estate transfer tax on the transfer of a
real estate business interest
 PURPOSE :
This bill would impose the real estate transfer tax on the transfer of
a minority interest in an entity that owns real property.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 1 of the bill would amend Tax Law § 1401(e) to expand the
definition of "conveyance" to subject the following transfers of
interest to the real estate transfer tax (RETT): transfer of an
interest in a partnership, limited liability corporation, S
corporation, or non-publicly traded C corporation with fewer than one
hundred shareholders that owns an interest in real property that is
located in New York and has a fair market value that equals or exceeds
50% of all the assets of the entity on the date of the transfer of an
interest in the entity. Only those assets that the entity owned for at
least two years, before the date of the transfer of the taxpayer's
interest in the entity, would be used in determining the fair market
value of all the assets of the entity on the date of the transfer.
Section 2 of the bill would amend Tax Law § 1401(d) to provide that
the consideration for such a conveyance would be calculated by
multiplying (1) the fair market value of the real property that is
located in New York that is owned by the entity; and (2) the
percentage of the entity that is conveyed.
This bill would level the playing field between those persons owning
real property interests as tenants-in-common and those persons owning
interests in closely held entities that own real property. In many
cases, a closely held entity, such as an LLC, is formed to hold real
property to protect the owners from potential liabilities. Since the
entities are closely held and the primary asset owned by the entity is
the interest in real property, owners essentially have a direct
ownership interest in real property similar to tenants-in-common.
However, unlike the transfer of any tenant-in-common interest, which
is subject to RETT, the conveyance of less than a controlling interest
in a closely held entity is not currently taxed. This bill would fix
that disparity by aligning the treatment of these conveyances for
purposes of RETT, with the personal income tax rules for determining
the New York source income of a nonresident individual when that
nonresident individual sells an interest in an entity that owns real
property in New York.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $4 million in
FY 2018 and $5 million annually thereafter.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and apply to transfers
occurring on and after the effective date.
Part KK - Close the real estate transfer tax loophole
 PURPOSE :
This bill would authorize the Commissioner of the Department of
Taxation and Finance to treat as a conveyance, subject to the
additional real estate transfer tax, a conveyance structured in a
manner intended to avoid or evade the tax.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Tax Law § 1402-a imposes an additional real estate transfer tax of 1%
of the consideration attributable to residential real property on the
conveyance of the residential real property where the consideration
for the transfer is $1 million or more. For purposes of this tax,
residential real property includes any premises that is, or may be
used as, a personal residence at the time of transfer and includes a
one-, two-, or three-family house, an individual condominium unit, or
a cooperative apartment unit.
The Department has recently seen an increase in transactions that
appear to be structured in a manner intended to avoid the additional
tax imposed by Tax Law § 1402a. For example, taxpayers contracting
with a real estate developer for construction of a new residential
building have entered into separate contracts for the land and the
construction and then claimed that land conveyance was not subject to
Tax Law § 1402-a because it was vacant when it was conveyed. This bill
would authorize the Commissioner to examine the actual transactions
and treat any conveyance of an interest in real property made pursuant
to an agreement, understanding or arrangement between the grantor and
the grantee structured in a manner to avoid or evade the tax as
subject to the additional real estate transfer tax.
  Budget Implications :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would increase All Funds receipts by $2 million
annually, beginning in FY 2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part LL - Relieve the General Fund of responsibility for funding
equine drug testing in horse racing, require horsepersons to
contribute to drug testing research and equipment, and broaden the
field of potential New York lab testing providers
 PURPOSE :
The change would relieve the State's General Fund of the
responsibility for funding equine drug testing in horse racing, by
returning the responsibility for such funding to those that actually
participate in horse racing; similar to the funding mechanism that
existed for more than 50 years, until 1986. This bill would also
strengthen support of equine research and testing from Thoroughbred
horsepersons, and allow the Gaming Commission to procure qualified New
York equine testing labs through a competitive process.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Current law makes the State's General Fund responsible for funding
equine drug testing in horse racing, which amounted to $4.5 million in
FY 2017. Such testing is necessary to ensure the integrity of racing
results, and protect the wagering public. From 1935 to 1986, the cost
of equine drug testing was borne by the participants in horse racing
(and from 1979 to 1986, in part by off-track betting corporations).
The State assumed those costs in 1986 as an accommodation to the
tracks. The tracks now benefit from video lottery gaming subsidies,
which the tracks and horsepersons can use to resume their historical
responsibility for drug testing costs.
Current law also requires the Gaming Commission to use a "state
college within the state with an approved equine science program" for
all equine testing; under this restriction, Morrisville College is
currently the only qualified provider. Removing the restrictive
language would ensure that equine testing in New York is conducted at
the highest level of quality, at the most competitive rates, and in a
timely manner.
Section 1 would amend Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law
section 902 to allow the Gaming Commission to assess horsepersons,
racetracks, or both to cover the costs of equine drug testing. The
section would also broaden the potential equine drug testing
laboratories that the Gaming Commission could use in support of equine
drug testing programs. Technical changes are also made to update
references to the Gaming Commission and harmonize style.
Section 2 amends Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law section
228(2) to strengthen support of equine drug research and testing from
Thoroughbred horsepersons and remove reference to a particular drug
testing laboratory. Technical changes are made to update references to
the Gaming Commission and harmonize style.
Section 3 provides an effective date.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would transfer costs for necessary equine drug
testing from the General Fund to the regulated parties and ensure
equine testing at the most competitive rates. The bill is expected to
result in $4.5 million in annual savings to the State's General Fund.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part MM - Charitable gaming reform
 PURPOSE :
This bill would consolidate the laws governing charitable gaming into
the same chapter as other laws the Gaming Commission is charged with
enforcing; and it would also modernize how charitable gaming is
regulated to allow more flexibility to organizations who conduct
gaming activities to support their charitable purposes.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would repeal the charitable gaming provisions currently in
Executive Law and two articles of the General Municipal Law, in order
to allow its consolidation into a new Article 15 of the Racing,
Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, where other laws the Gaming
Commission is charged with enforcing are codified.
This bill would add new sections to require the Gaming Commission, to
the greatest extent practicable, to:
*Consolidate definitions, several of which are duplicative in current
law, to reflect more flexibility for authorized organizations;
*Make charitable gaming forms and applications available in electronic
formats that minimize paperwork and are designed to maximize
efficiency for authorized organizations, municipalities, and the
Gaming Commission;
*Consolidate charitable game age restrictions and revise the minimum
age to play bingo to 18 years of age (to be consistent with the
minimum age in other forms of legalized gaming activity in the State);
*Consolidate regulation of charitable gaming on Sundays and broaden
the ability of authorized organizations to conduct charitable gaming;
*Consolidate regulation of charitable gaming advertising and broaden
the ability of authorized organizations to advertise (signage off
premises and through the internet);
*Provide flexibility to charitable gaming enforcement by allowing for
letters of reprimand and fines;
*Relax restrictions on where charitable games of chance and bingo may
be conducted;
*Enhance authorized organizations' revenue efforts by allowing for the
use of checks and credit and debit cards in games of chance;
*Reduce the number of years that a charitable organization must be in
existence from three to one, to match the current requirement in order
to conduct bingo, thus allowing authorized organizations to seek to
sell bell jar tickets at bingo;
*Increase prize limitations as follows: a single bell jar prize
maximum would increase from $500 to $1,000 and the maximum for a
series of aggregate prizes would increase from $3,000 to $6,000, while
the single game of bingo prize maximum would increase from $1,000 to
$5,000 and the allowable aggregate prizes in a bingo occasion would
increase from 3,000 to $15,000;
*Reduce the number of raffle categories from three to two, simplifying
compliance for charitable organizations;
*Ease the ability of a charitable organization to conduct a raffle
outside the organization's domicile by simplifying the approval
process for the organization;
*Broaden the number of persons available to conduct or assist in the
conduct of charitable gaming by removing several automatic bars to
participation based on criminal conduct;
*Remove hours restrictions for charitable games other than bell jar
and raffles, providing more flexibility to charitable organizations to
conduct gaming (the lack of restrictions on the times in which bell
jar and raffles are conducted would be maintained from current law);
*Remove the bar on offering alcoholic beverages as prizes in
charitable gaming, allowing organizations to offer as prizes gift
baskets that contain such beverages; and
*Consolidate charitable gaming severability provisions.
Various fee-setting provisions would also be transferred from statute
to Gaming Commission regulation to allow for flexibility to adjust as
circumstances warrant. The bill would also make technical amendments
to make style consistent throughout the chapter.
Finally, this bill would amend the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering Law,
the Social Services Law and the Tax Law to conform references to the
recodification of charitable gaming laws into a new article of the
Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would enable authorized organizations to enhance
revenue to support their charitable purposes, which would generate
increased fee revenue for municipalities.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The bill would take effect 90 days after enactment, to allow the
Gaming Commission opportunity to amend rules and regulations to
conform to the law.
Part NN - Re-privatize the New York Racing Association
 PURPOSE :
This bill would re-privatize the New York Racing Association (NYRA)
with important oversight and safeguard measures and under certain
circumstances allow NYRA nighttime racing and reduce winter racing
days at Aqueduct Racetrack.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 1 of the bill would amend section 207 of the Racing and Gaming
Law to reestablish a privately controlled board of directors for NYRA.

 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :

Budget because it would preserve All Funds receipts that would
otherwise be at risk.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The bill would take effect April 1, 2017.  Part 00 - Extend certain
tax rates and certain simulcasting provisions for one year
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend, for one additional year, various provisions of
the Racing, PariMutuel Wagering and Breeding (Racing) Law.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 1 would amend Racing Law § 1003(a) to extend, for one year,
the June 30, 2017 expiration date for in-home simulcasting.
Section 2 would amend Racing Law § 1007(3)(d) to extend, for one year,
the current percentage of total pools allocated to purses that a track
located in Westchester County receives from a franchised corporation,
which currently is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2017.
Section 3 would amend the opening paragraph of Racing Law § 1014(1),
to extend, for one year, the provisions allowing simulcasting of
out-of-state thoroughbred races on any day the Saratoga thoroughbred
track is operating, which currently are scheduled to expire on June
30, 2017.
Section 4 would amend Racing Law § 1015(1) to extend, for one year,
the provisions governing the simulcasting of races conducted at
out-of-state harness tracks, which currently are scheduled to expire
on June 30, 2017.
Section 5 would amend the opening paragraph of Racing Law § 1016(1),
to extend, for one year, the provisions governing the simulcasting of
out-of-state thoroughbred races on any day the Saratoga thoroughbred
track is closed, which currently are scheduled to expire on June 30,
2017.
Section 6 would amend the opening paragraph of Racing Law § 1018 to
extend, for one year, the current distribution of revenue from
out-of-state simulcasting during the Saratoga meet, which expired on
September 8, 2016.
Section 7 would amend § 32 of chapter 281 of the Laws of 1994 to
extend, for one year, the current amount of off-track betting wagers
on New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) pools dedicated to purse
enhancement, which currently expires on June 30, 2017.
Section 8 would amend § 54 of chapter 346 of the Laws of 1990 to
extend, for one year, binding arbitration for disagreements. These
provisions currently expire on June 30, 2017.
Section 9 would amend Racing Law § 238(1)(a) to extend, for one year,
the current distribution of revenue from on-track wagering on NYRA
races, which currently is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2017.
Extending these provisions would maintain the pari-mutuel betting and
simulcasting structure that is currently in place in New York State.
The provisions extended by sections one through six of this bill were
first enacted in 1994 and section seven was enacted in 1990. These
provisions were extended numerous times since their original
enactment, most recently in 2016.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2018 Executive
Budget because it maintains the current pari-mutuel betting structure
in New York State.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part PP - Extend Monticello Video Lottery Terminal rates for one year
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend, for one year, the current distribution of
video lottery gaming revenue at Monticello Casino & Raceway.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would extend, for one year, the current commission rate paid
to Monticello as a video lottery agent. In 2008, Monticello was given
a higher commission rate for a five-year period in exchange for opting
out of participating in the vendor's capital award program.  Thus, the
five-year rate sunset was applied to coincide with the five-year
period that other facilities were provided for approval of capital
expenditures eligible for reimbursement through the program.
The capital award program was extended for a ninth year (to 2017) by
chapter 60 of the Laws of 2016 and is proposed to be extended to 2018
by the 2018 Executive Budget. Since the expiration of Monticello's
rate would result in a loss of the enhanced commission, but would not
provide for participation in the capital award program, this bill
would extend Monticello's rate for an additional year to maintain the
original framework of Monticello's rate structure and keep its
duration consistent with the capital award program.
Section 1 of the bill amends Section 1612(b)(1)(ii)(F) of the Tax Law
to extend, from nine to ten years, the forty-one percent vendor fee
paid to a vendor track located in Sullivan County and within sixty
miles from any gaming facility in a contiguous state.
Section 2 of the bill provides for an immediate effective date that
shall be deemed in effect on and after April 1, 2017.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2018 Executive
Budget because it would decrease All Funds revenue by $2 million in
2018.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect on April 1, 2017.
Part QQ - Extend the Video Lottery Gaming (VLG) vendor's capital
awards program for one year
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend, for one year, the deadline to receive approval
and to complete capital projects that are reimbursed through the Video
Lottery Gaming (VLG) vendor's capital award.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 1 amends Tax Law § 1612(b)(1)(ii)(h) to extend, by one year
until April 1, 2018, the deadline to receive approval for capital
projects to be reimbursed through the VLG vendor's capital award. The
bill also extends by one year, until April 1, 2020, the deadline to
complete these projects. For certain vendor tracks located west of
State Route 14, these deadlines are extended to April 1, 2022 for
approvals and to April 1, 2024 for completion.
Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2018 Executive
Budget because it maintains the current VLG revenue stream.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part RR - Alter local gaming aid distribution
  Purpose:
This bill would provide for a redistribution of available aid
associated with hosting a gaming facility to provide aid to a county
that hosts a tribal casino, but does not receive a percent of the
State share of revenue from that casino.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 1 of the bill would amend section 97-nnnn of the State Finance
Law to reduce funds available for distribution to non-host counties in
regions hosting a commercial gaming facility by $1.4 million in FY
2018 and $1.55 million in FY 2019 and FY 2020. Section 2 of the bill
would amend section 99-h of the State Finance Law to provide a county
that hosts a tribal casino but does not receive a percent of the state
share of revenue from that casino with an annual distribution of $2.25
million.
Section 3 of the bill would amend section 99-h of the State Finance
Law to reduce funds available for distribution to non-host counties in
regions hosting a tribal casino by $600,000 in FY 2018 and $500,000 in
FY 2019 and FY 2020.
Section 4 of the bill would amend section 54-L of the State Finance
Law to reduce the State aid payment to eligible municipalities hosting
a VLT facility by $250,000 in FY 2018 and $200,000 in FY 2019 and FY
2020.
Section 5 of the bill provides an effective date.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget because it would provide an equitable distribution of State
gaming aid.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The bill would take effect April 1, 2017 and shall expire and be
deemed repealed on March 31, 2020, to allow for a reevaluation of
gaming activity within the State.
The provisions of this act shall take effect immediately, provided,
however, that the applicable effective date of each part of this act
shall be as specifically set forth in the last section of such part.

 pursuant to sections sixty-one, sixty-two,  sixty-three,  SIXTY-THREE-B,
 sixty-four,  sixty-four-a  and  sixty-four-b  of  this  article shall be
 effective for three years at three times that annual fee[, except  that,
 in implementing the purposes of this section, the liquor authority shall
 schedule  the  commencement dates, duration and expiration dates thereof
 to provide for an equal cycle of license renewals issued under each such
 section through the course of the fiscal year. Effective December first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-eight,  licenses  issued  pursuant  to  sections
 sixty-four,  sixty-four-a  and  sixty-four-b  of  this  article shall be

 license  pursuant to section sixty-four, sixty-four-a or sixty-four-b of
 this article may elect to remit the fee for such license in equal annual
 installments. Such installments shall be due on dates established by the
 liquor authority and the failure of a licensee  to  have  remitted  such
 annual  installments after a due date shall be a violation of this chap-
 ter. For licenses issued for less than the three-year licensing  period,
 the  license  fee  shall  be  levied on a pro-rated basis].   The entire
 license fee shall be due and payable at the  time  of  application.  The
 liquor  authority  may  make such rules as shall be appropriate to carry
 out the purpose of this section.

 sixty-four-a or sixty-four-b of this chapter, a notice thereof,  in  the
 form  prescribed by the authority, shall be posted by the applicant in a
 conspicuous place at the entrance to the proposed premises.  The  appli-
 cant  shall  make  reasonable efforts to insure such notice shall remain
 posted throughout the pendency of the application. The provisions hereof
 shall apply only where no retail  liquor  license  has  previously  been
 granted  for the proposed premise and shall, specifically, not be appli-
 cable to a proposed sale of an existing business engaged in  the  retail
 sale of liquor. The authority may adopt such rules it may deem necessary
 to carry out the purpose of this subdivision.

 provisions of section three of this act shall take effect; and
   (b) if chapter 422 of the laws of 2016 shall not have taken effect  on
 or  before  such date then sections four and five of this act shall take
 effect on the same date and in the same manner as such  chapter  of  the

 er  of  taxation  and  finance  shall adjust such withholding tables and
 methods in regard to taxable years beginning in 2017 and after  in  such
 manner  as  to  result,  so  far  as practicable, in withholding from an
 employee's  wages  an amount substantially equivalent to the tax reason-
 ably estimated to be due for such taxable  years  as  a  result  of  the
 provisions  of  this act. Provided, however, for tax year 2017 the with-
 holding tables shall reflect  as  accurately  as  practicable  the  full
 amount  of  tax  year  2017 liability so that such amount is withheld by
 December 31, 2017. In carrying out his or her  duties  and  responsibil-
 ities  under  this section, the commissioner of taxation and finance may
 prescribe a similar procedure with respect to the taxes required  to  be
 deducted  and  withheld  by  local  laws  imposing taxes pursuant to the
 authority of articles 30, 30-A and 30-B of the tax law,  the  provisions
 of  any  other  law  in  relation  to  such  a procedure to the contrary
 notwithstanding.
   § 6. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no addi-
 tion to tax shall be imposed for failure to pay  the  estimated  tax  in
 subsection  (c)  of  section  685  of the tax law and subdivision (c) of
 section 11-1785 of the administrative code of the city of New York  with
 respect  to  any underpayment of a required installment due prior to, or
 within thirty days of, the effective date of this act to the extent that
 such underpayment was created or increased by  the  amendments  made  by
 this  act, provided, however, that the taxpayer remits the amount of any
 underpayment prior to or with his or her next  quarterly  estimated  tax
 payment.
   2. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall take steps to publi-
 cize  the  necessary  adjustments  to  estimated  tax and, to the extent
 reasonably possible, to inform the taxpayer of the tax liability changes
 made by this act.
   § 7. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
 years beginning on and after January 1, 2017.

 subtracting the amount actually  levied  against  the  parcel  from  the
 amount  that  would  have been levied if not for the exemption, provided
 however, that [beginning with] FOR the two thousand eleven-two  thousand
 twelve THROUGH TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN-TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN school [year]
 YEARS, the tax savings applicable to any "portion" (which as used herein
 shall  mean  that  part  of  an  assessing  unit located within a school
 district) shall not exceed the tax savings applicable to that portion in
 the prior school year multiplied by one hundred two  percent,  with  the
 result  rounded  to the nearest dollar; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT BEGIN-
 NING WITH THE TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN-TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN SCHOOL  YEAR,
 THE  TAX  SAVINGS  APPLICABLE  TO  ANY  PORTION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TAX
 SAVINGS FOR THE PRIOR YEAR. The tax savings attributable  to  the  basic
 and  enhanced exemptions shall be calculated separately. It shall be the
 responsibility of the commissioner to calculate tax savings  limitations
 for purposes of this subdivision.

 residing on the premises elect to participate  in  this  program,  which
 shall  be  known as the STAR income verification program, they] AND must
 furnish their taxpayer identification numbers  in  order  to  facilitate
 matching  with records of the department. [Thereafter, their] THE income
 eligibility  OF  SUCH  PERSONS  shall  be  verified  annually   by   the
 department, and the assessor shall not request income documentation from
 them[,  unless  such  department  advises  the assessor that they do not
 satisfy the applicable income eligibility requirements, or  that  it  is

 have  requested  notices  pursuant to this paragraph AND SHALL FURNISH A
 COPY OF SUCH LIST TO THE DEPARTMENT UPON REQUEST.
   (ii)  [In  the case of a senior citizen who has not elected to partic-
 ipate in the STAR income verification program, a notice shall be sent to

 the  designated  third party whenever the assessor OR DEPARTMENT sends a
 notice to the senior citizen  regarding  the  possible  removal  of  the
 enhanced  STAR  exemption.    WHEN  THE  EXEMPTION IS SUBJECT TO REMOVAL
 BECAUSE THE COMMISSIONER HAS  DETERMINED  THAT  THE  INCOME  ELIGIBILITY
 REQUIREMENT  IS  NOT  SATISFIED,  SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE SENT TO THE THIRD
 PARTY BY THE DEPARTMENT.  WHEN  THE  EXEMPTION  IS  SUBJECT  TO  REMOVAL
 BECAUSE  THE ASSESSOR HAS DETERMINED THAT ANY OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE-
 MENT IS NOT SATISFIED, SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE SENT TO THE THIRD  PARTY  BY
 THE ASSESSOR. Such notice shall read substantially as follows:
   "On  behalf  of (identify senior citizen or citizens), you are advised
 that his, her, or their enhanced STAR exemption  is  at  risk  of  being
 removed.  You are encouraged to make sure that he, she or they are aware
 of that fact, and to offer assistance if needed, although you are  under
 no legal obligation to do so. Your cooperation and assistance are great-
 ly appreciated."
   [(iv)]  (III)  The  obligation to mail such notices shall cease if the
 eligible taxpayer cancels the request  or  ceases  to  qualify  for  the
 enhanced STAR exemption.

 a  term  of  one  year. To continue receiving such enhanced exemption, a
 renewal application must be filed  annually  with  the  assessor  on  or
 before  the  applicable  taxable status date on a form prescribed by the
 commissioner. Provided, however, that if a renewal application is not so
 filed, the assessor shall discontinue the enhanced exemption  but  shall

 eleven of this section.

 S. 2009                            21                            A. 3009

 combined  shall  be  the "adjusted gross income" for the taxable year as
 reported for federal income tax purposes, or that would be  reported  as
 adjusted gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be
 filed,  reduced  by  distributions,  to  the  extent included in federal
 adjusted gross income, received from an  individual  retirement  account
 and  an  individual retirement annuity.   FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON

 ABLE FOR THE FILING OF SUCH STATEMENTS. Provided further,  that  if  the
 qualified  taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year
 but did not own it on December thirty-first of the  taxable  year,  then
 the  determination  as  to whether the income of an individual should be
 included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or
 residency status of that individual as of the first  day  of  the  month
 during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the proper-
 ty, rather than as of December thirty-first of the taxable year.

 enroll therein. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall provide a
 form for assessors to use, at their option, when making  this  notifica-
 tion.

 been paid, interest and penalties shall be charged  against  the  unpaid
 balance only. The acceptance of a partial payment by any official pursu-
 ant  to  this section shall not be deemed to affect any liens and powers
 of any [county]  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION  conferred  in  any  general  or

 effect to enforce collection of the unpaid balance of such  tax  or  tax
 liens together with interest, penalties and other lawful charges.

 PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION MAY NOT DECLINE TO DO SO.

 ING OFFICER TO ACCEPT A PARTIAL PAYMENT AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF  HIS  OR

 paragraph  two of this subdivision, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
 equal to the product (or pro rata share of the product, in the case of a
 member of a partnership) of ten percent and the amount of wages or sala-
 ries  paid to individuals directly employed (excluding those employed as
 writers, directors, music directors, producers and performers, including

 company or a qualified independent film production company for  services
 performed  by those individuals in one of the counties specified in this
 paragraph in connection with a qualified film with a minimum  budget  of

 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year  is  less

 million dollars of the annual allocation  shall  be  available  for  the
 empire  state film post production credit pursuant to section thirty-one
 of this article in two thousand thirteen and two thousand  fourteen  and
 twenty-five  million dollars of the annual allocation shall be available
 for the empire state film post production  credit  pursuant  to  section

 aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional pool 2 for the
 empire state film production tax credit have been previously  allocated,
 and  determines  that  the pending applications from eligible applicants
 for the empire state film post production tax credit pursuant to section
 thirty-one  of  this  article  is insufficient to utilize the balance of
 unallocated empire state film post  production  tax  credits  from  such
 pool,  the  remainder,  after  such pending applications are considered,
 shall be made available for allocation in  the  empire  state  film  tax
 credit  pursuant  to  this  section,  subdivision  twenty of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (gg) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  Also,  if  the commissioner of economic development determines
 that the aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional  pool
 2  for the empire state film post production tax credit have been previ-
 ously allocated, and  determines  that  the  pending  applications  from
 eligible  applicants  for  the  empire  state film production tax credit
 pursuant to this section is insufficient to utilize the balance of unal-
 located film production tax credits from such pool, then all or part  of
 the  remainder, after such pending applications are considered, shall be
 made available for allocation for the empire state film post  production
 credit  pursuant  to this section, subdivision thirty-two of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (qq) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  The governor's office for motion picture and television devel-
 opment must notify taxpayers of their allocation year  and  include  the
 allocation  year on the certificate of tax credit. Taxpayers eligible to
 claim a credit must report the allocation year directly on their  empire
 state  film production credit tax form for each year a credit is claimed
 and include a copy of the certificate with their tax return. In the case
 of a qualified film that receives  funds  from  additional  pool  2,  no
 empire state film production credit shall be claimed before the later of
 the  taxable  year  the production of the qualified film is complete, or
 the taxable year immediately following the allocation year for which the
 film has been allocated credit  by  the  governor's  office  for  motion
 picture and television development.

 graph, such excess shall be treated as having been applied  for  on  the

 applied  for  under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year is less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual allocation for two  thousand  seventeen  made  available  to  the

 event  may  the  total of the credits allocated under this paragraph and
 the credits allocated under paragraph five of subdivision (a) of section
 twenty-four of this article exceed five  million  dollars  in  any  year
 during  the  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nineteen]

 the  employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subpara-
 graph for its first taxable year. For purposes of clause (iii)  of  this
 subparagraph  the employment test will be based on the number of employ-
 ees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year  the
 taxpayer  is  subject  to tax in this state. If the uses of the property
 must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used
 in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the  property  must
 satisfy  this  employment test or this employment test must be satisfied
 through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated
 regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment  adviser  using  the
 property.  For purposes of [this subdivision, the term "goods" shall not
 include electricity] CLAUSE (A) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, TANGIBLE  PERSONAL
 PROPERTY  AND OTHER TANGIBLE PROPERTY SHALL NOT INCLUDE PROPERTY PRINCI-
 PALLY USED BY THE TAXPAYER (I) IN  THE  PRODUCTION  OR  DISTRIBUTION  OF
 ELECTRICITY,  NATURAL  GAS,  STEAM, OR WATER DELIVERED THROUGH PIPES AND

 UM, OF A FILM, VISUAL OR AUDIO RECORDING, OR COMMERCIAL, WHERE THE COSTS
 ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH CREATION, PRODUCTION OR REPRODUCTION  ARE  INCURRED
 OUTSIDE  OF THIS STATE, OR IN THE DUPLICATION, FOR PURPOSES OF BROADCAST
 IN ANY MEDIUM, OF A MASTER OF A FILM,  VISUAL  OR  AUDIO  RECORDING,  OR

 INCURRED OUTSIDE OF THIS STATE.
   § 2. Subparagraph (A) of paragraph 2 of subsection (a) of section  606
 of  the  tax  law,  as  amended  by  chapter 637 of the laws of 2008, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (A) A credit shall be allowed under this subsection  with  respect  to
 tangible personal property and other tangible property, including build-
 ings  and  structural  components  of  buildings, which are: depreciable
 pursuant to section one hundred  sixty-seven  of  the  internal  revenue
 code, have a useful life of four years or more, are acquired by purchase
 as  defined  in  section  one  hundred  seventy-nine (d) of the internal

 but  not  be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset,
 assignment, termination,  or  transfer)  of  securities  as  defined  in
 section  four  hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,
 or (vi) principally used as a qualified film production facility includ-
 ing  qualified  film  production  facilities having a situs in an empire
 zone designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B  of  the  general
 municipal law, where the taxpayer is providing three or more services to
 any qualified film production company using the facility, including such
 services  as a studio lighting grid, lighting and grip equipment, multi-
 line phone service, broadband information technology access,  industrial
 scale  electrical  capacity, food services, security services, and heat-
 ing, ventilation and air conditioning. For purposes of clauses (iv)  and
 (v)  of  this  subparagraph, property purchased by a taxpayer affiliated
 with a regulated broker, dealer, or  registered  investment  adviser  is
 allowed  a  credit  under this subsection if the property is used by its
 affiliated regulated broker, dealer or registered investment adviser  in
 accordance  with  this  subsection.  For  purposes of determining if the
 property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpay-
 er described in clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph may be  aggre-
 gated.  In  addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated
 broker, dealer and registered investment adviser under either or both of
 those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not
 be allowed the credit provided by clauses (iv) and (v) of this  subpara-
 graph  unless (I) eighty percent or more of the employees performing the
 administrative and support functions resulting from or  related  to  the
 qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state, or (II) the
 average  number of employees that perform the administrative and support
 functions resulting from or related  to  the  qualifying  uses  of  such
 equipment  and  are  located  in  this state during the taxable year for
 which the credit is claimed is equal  to  or  greater  than  ninety-five
 percent  of the average number of employees that perform these functions
 and are located in this state during the thirty-six  months  immediately
 preceding  the year for which the credit is claimed, or (III) the number
 of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the
 credit is claimed is equal to or greater  than  ninety  percent  of  the
 number  of  employees  located  in  this state on December thirty-first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer  was  not  a  calendar
 year  taxpayer  in  nineteen  hundred  ninety-eight, the last day of its
 first taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen  hundred
 ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after
 the  taxable  year  beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the
 taxpayer is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in  the
 preceding  sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year. For
 the purposes of clause (III) of this subparagraph  the  employment  test
 will  be  based  on the number of employees located in this state on the
 last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is  subject  to  tax  in
 this  state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine
 whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either
 each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment  test  or
 this  employment  test  must be satisfied through the aggregation of the
 employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer,  and
 registered  investment adviser using the property. For purposes of [this
 subsection, the term "goods" shall not include electricity]  CLAUSE  (I)

 years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
 
                                  PART Q
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds it necessary to
 revise  a  decision of the tax appeals tribunal that disturbed the long-
 standing policy of the department of taxation and  finance  that  single
 member limited liability companies that are treated as disregarded enti-
 ties  for  federal  income  tax purposes also would be treated as disre-
 garded entities for purposes of determining eligibility of the owners of
 such entities for tax credits allowed  under  article  9,  9-A,  22,  32
 (prior  to  its  repeal)  or  33 of the tax law. The decision of the tax
 appeals tribunal, if allowed to stand, will result in the denial of  tax
 credits,  such  as  empire  zone  tax credits, to taxpayers who in prior
 years received those credits.
   § 2. The tax law is amended by adding a new  section  43  to  read  as
 follows:
   §  43.  SINGLE  MEMBER LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES AND ELIGIBILITY FOR
 TAX CREDITS. A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY THAT HAS A SINGLE MEMBER AND IS
 DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM ITS OWNER FOR FEDERAL INCOME  TAX
 PURPOSES  (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY SPECIAL RULES RELATED TO THE IMPOSI-
 TION OF CERTAIN FEDERAL TAXES, INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO  CERTAIN
 EMPLOYMENT  AND EXCISE TAXES) SHALL BE DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE
 FROM ITS OWNER FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT  THE  TAXPAYER
 THAT  IS  THE  SINGLE MEMBER OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY SATISFIES
 THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY TAX CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE
 NINE, NINE-A, TWENTY-TWO OR THIRTY-THREE  OF  THIS  CHAPTER  OR  ALLOWED
 UNDER  ARTICLE  THIRTY-TWO  OF  THIS CHAPTER PRIOR TO THE REPEAL OF SUCH
 ARTICLE. SUCH REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  ANY  NECESSARY
 CERTIFICATION, EMPLOYMENT OR INVESTMENT THRESHOLDS, PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS,
 AND  ANY  TIME  PERIOD FOR ELIGIBILITY, SHALL BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER
 AND THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR  NOT  SUCH  REQUIREMENTS  HAVE  BEEN
 SATISFIED  AND  THE  COMPUTATION  OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE MADE BY DEEMING
 SUCH TAXPAYER AND SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY TO BE A SINGLE  ENTITY.
 IF  THE TAXPAYER IS THE SINGLE MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE LIMITED LIABILITY
 COMPANY THAT IS DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM  ITS  OWNER,  THE
 DETERMINATION  OF WHETHER OR NOT THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY
 TAX CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE NINE,  NINE-A,  TWENTY-TWO  OR  THIRTY-
 THREE  OF THIS CHAPTER OR ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE THIRTY-TWO OF THIS CHAP-
 TER PRIOR TO THE REPEAL OF SUCH ARTICLE  HAVE  BEEN  SATISFIED  AND  THE
 COMPUTATION  OF  THE  CREDIT  SHALL BE MADE BY DEEMING SUCH TAXPAYER AND
 SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES TO BE A SINGLE ENTITY.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately;  provided  however,  that
 section  43  of  the tax law, as added by section two of this act, shall
 apply to all taxable years for which  the  statute  of  limitations  for
 seeking a refund or assessing additional tax is still open.

 SHALL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION  DEEMED  NECESSARY  BY  THE
 DEPARTMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE TO EFFICIENTLY AND
 ACCURATELY  PROVIDE A TAX CLEARANCE, AND THE FAILURE BY THE APPLICANT TO

   § 2. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 171-w to  read  as

 GOVERNMENT  ENTITY THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR HAS ELECTED TO REQUIRE TAX
 CLEARANCES TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES BY WHICH THE DEPARTMENT SHALL RECEIVE
 A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST AND TRANSMIT SUCH TAX CLEARANCE TO  THE  GOVERN-
 MENT  ENTITY, AND ANY OTHER PROCEDURES DEEMED NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION. THESE PROCEDURES SHALL, TO THE EXTENT  PRAC-
 TICABLE,  REQUIRE SECURE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT
 AND THE REQUESTING GOVERNMENT ENTITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  REQUESTS  TO  THE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSMISSION OF TAX CLEARANCES TO
 THE REQUESTING ENTITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A
 GOVERNMENT ENTITY SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO SHARE  ANY  APPLICANT  DATA  OR
 INFORMATION  WITH  THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE PROPER
 MATCHING OF THE APPLICANT TO THE TAX RECORDS MAINTAINED BY  THE  DEPART-
 MENT.
   (3)  UPON  RECEIPT  OF  A  TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL
 EXAMINE ITS RECORDS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SUBJECT OF THE  TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  REQUEST  HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE
 DOLLAR THRESHOLD APPLICABLE FOR SUCH TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST OR,  WERE  NO
 THRESHOLD  HAS  BEEN  ESTABLISHED  BY  LAW  OR OTHERWISE, EQUAL TO OR IN
 EXCESS OF  FIVE  HUNDRED  DOLLARS.  WHEN  A  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO
 REQUIRES, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL ALSO DETERMINE WHETHER (I) THE SUBJECT OF
 SUCH REQUEST HAS COMPLIED WITH APPLICABLE TAX RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS
 FOR  EACH OF THE PAST THREE YEARS; AND/OR (II) WHETHER A SUBJECT OF SUCH
 REQUEST THAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS  A  PERSON  REQUIRED  TO
 REGISTER  PURSUANT TO SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER

 CLEARANCE  IF  IT DETERMINES THAT THE SUBJECT OF A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST
 HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN  EXCESS  OF  THE  APPLICABLE
 THRESHOLD  OR,  WHEN  THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO REQUIRES, HAS NOT
 COMPLIED WITH APPLICABLE RETURN FILING AND/OR REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
   (4) IF A TAX CLEARANCE IS DENIED, THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY THAT REQUESTED
 THE CLEARANCE SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE  TO  THE  APPLICANT  TO  CONTACT  THE
 DEPARTMENT. SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE MADE BY FIRST CLASS MAIL WITH A CERTIF-

 SHALL INFORM THE APPLICANT OF THE BASIS FOR THE DENIAL OF THE TAX CLEAR-
 ANCE AND SHALL ALSO INFORM THE APPLICANT (I) THAT A TAX CLEARANCE DENIED
 DUE TO PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES MAY BE ISSUED ONCE  THE  TAXPAYER  FULLY
 SATISFIES  PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES OR MAKES PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS SATIS-
 FACTORY TO THE COMMISSIONER; (II) THAT A TAX  CLEARANCE  DENIED  DUE  TO
 FAILURE  TO FILE TAX RETURNS MAY BE ISSUED ONCE THE APPLICANT HAS SATIS-
 FIED THE APPLICABLE RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS; (III) THAT A TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  DENIED  FOR FAILURE TO REGISTER PURSUANT TO SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED
 THIRTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER MAY BE ISSUED ONCE THE APPLICANT HAS  REGIS-
 TERED PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION; AND (IV) THE GROUNDS FOR CHALLENGING THE
 DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE LISTED IN SUBDIVISION FIVE OF THIS SECTION.
   (5)  (A)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION OF LAW, AND EXCEPT AS
 SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, AN APPLICANT DENIED A TAX CLEARANCE  SHALL
 HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMMENCE A COURT ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR SEEK ANY OTHER
 LEGAL  RECOURSE  AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT OR THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY RELATED
 TO THE DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT.
   (B) AN APPLICANT SEEKING TO CHALLENGE THE DENIAL OF  A  TAX  CLEARANCE
 MUST  PROTEST  TO THE DEPARTMENT OR THE DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS NO LATER
 THAN SIXTY DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE NOTIFICATION TO THE APPLICANT  THAT
 THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  WAS DENIED. AN APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE A DEPARTMENT
 FINDING OF PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES ONLY ON THE  GROUNDS  THAT  (I)  THE
 INDIVIDUAL  OR  ENTITY DENIED THE TAX CLEARANCE IS NOT THE INDIVIDUAL OR
 ENTITY WITH THE PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES AT ISSUE; (II) THE PAST-DUE TAX
 LIABILITIES WERE  SATISFIED;  (III)  THE  APPLICANT'S  WAGES  ARE  BEING
 GARNISHED FOR THE PAYMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT OR COMBINED CHILD AND SPOUSAL
 SUPPORT PURSUANT TO AN INCOME EXECUTION ISSUED PURSUANT TO SECTION FIFTY
 TWO  HUNDRED FORTY-ONE OR FIFTY TWO HUNDRED FORTY-TWO OF THE CIVIL PRAC-
 TICE LAW AND RULES  OR  ANOTHER  STATE'S  INCOME  WITHHOLDING  ORDER  AS
 AUTHORIZED UNDER PART FIVE OF ARTICLE FIVE-B OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT, OR
 GARNISHED  BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PAST-DUE TAX LIABIL-
 ITIES AT ISSUE; OR (IV) THE APPLICANT IS MAKING CHILD  SUPPORT  PAYMENTS
 OR  COMBINED  CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A SATISFAC-
 TORY PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT UNDER  SECTION  ONE  HUNDRED  ELEVEN-B  OF  THE
 SOCIAL  SERVICES  LAW WITH A SUPPORT COLLECTION UNIT OR OTHERWISE MAKING
 PERIODIC PAYMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY  OF  THE
 FAMILY  COURT  ACT.  AN  APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE A DEPARTMENT FINDING OF
 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH  TAX  RETURN  FILING  REQUIREMENTS  ONLY  ON  THE
 GROUNDS  THAT  ALL  REQUIRED TAX RETURNS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR EACH OF THE
 PAST THREE YEARS.
   (C) NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION IS INTENDED  TO  LIMIT  ANY  APPLICANT
 FROM SEEKING RELIEF FROM JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY PURSUANT TO SECTION
 SIX  HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER, TO THE EXTENT THAT HE OR SHE IS
 ELIGIBLE PURSUANT TO THAT SECTION, OR  ESTABLISHING  TO  THE  DEPARTMENT
 THAT  THE  ENFORCEMENT OF THE UNDERLYING TAX LIABILITIES HAS BEEN STAYED
 BY THE FILING OF A PETITION PURSUANT TO  THE  BANKRUPTCY  CODE  OF  1978
 (TITLE ELEVEN OF THE UNITED STATES CODE).
   (6)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION OF LAW, THE DEPARTMENT MAY
 EXCHANGE WITH A GOVERNMENT ENTITY ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT,  IN  THE

   § 4. Section 40 of chapter 266 of the laws of 1986, amending the civil
 practice law and rules  and  other  laws  relating  to  malpractice  and
 professional medical conduct, as amended by section 5 of part C of chap-
 ter 59 of the laws of 2016, is amended to read as follows:
   §  40.  The superintendent of financial services shall establish rates
 for policies providing coverage  for  physicians  and  surgeons  medical
 malpractice  for the periods commencing July 1, 1985 and ending June 30,
 [2017] 2018; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision
 of law, the superintendent shall not establish or approve  any  increase
 in  rates  for  the  period  commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
 2010. The superintendent shall direct insurers to  establish  segregated
 accounts  for premiums, payments, reserves and investment income attrib-
 utable to such premium periods and shall require periodic reports by the
 insurers regarding claims and expenses attributable to such  periods  to
 monitor whether such accounts will be sufficient to meet incurred claims
 and  expenses. On or after July 1, 1989, the superintendent shall impose
 a surcharge on premiums  to  satisfy  a  projected  deficiency  that  is
 attributable  to the premium levels established pursuant to this section

 S. 2009                            68                            A. 3009
 
 for such periods; provided, however, that such  annual  surcharge  shall
 not  exceed  eight  percent of the established rate until July 1, [2017]
 2018, at which time and thereafter such surcharge shall not exceed twen-
 ty-five  percent  of  the  approved  adequate rate, and that such annual
 surcharges shall continue for such period of time as shall be sufficient
 to satisfy such deficiency. The superintendent  shall  not  impose  such
 surcharge  during the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
 2010. On and after July  1,  1989,  the  surcharge  prescribed  by  this
 section  shall  be  retained by insurers to the extent that they insured
 physicians and surgeons during the July 1, 1985 through June 30,  [2017]
 2018  policy  periods;  in  the  event  and to the extent physicians and
 surgeons were insured by another insurer during such periods, all  or  a
 pro  rata  share of the surcharge, as the case may be, shall be remitted
 to such other insurer in accordance with rules  and  regulations  to  be
 promulgated by the superintendent.  Surcharges collected from physicians
 and  surgeons  who  were not insured during such policy periods shall be
 apportioned among all insurers in proportion to the premium  written  by
 each  insurer  during such policy periods; if a physician or surgeon was
 insured by an insurer subject to rates established by the superintendent
 during such policy periods, and  at  any  time  thereafter  a  hospital,
 health  maintenance organization, employer or institution is responsible
 for responding in damages for liability arising out of such  physician's
 or  surgeon's  practice  of medicine, such responsible entity shall also
 remit to such prior insurer the equivalent amount  that  would  then  be
 collected  as  a  surcharge if the physician or surgeon had continued to
 remain insured by such prior insurer. In  the  event  any  insurer  that
 provided  coverage  during  such  policy  periods is in liquidation, the
 property/casualty insurance security fund shall receive the  portion  of
 surcharges to which the insurer in liquidation would have been entitled.
 The surcharges authorized herein shall be deemed to be income earned for
 the  purposes of section 2303 of the insurance law.  The superintendent,
 in establishing adequate rates and in determining  any  projected  defi-
 ciency  pursuant  to  the requirements of this section and the insurance
 law, shall give substantial weight, determined  in  his  discretion  and
 judgment,  to  the  prospective  anticipated  effect  of any regulations
 promulgated and laws enacted and the  public  benefit  of    stabilizing
 malpractice rates and minimizing rate level fluctuation during the peri-
 od  of  time  necessary for the development of more reliable statistical
 experience as to the efficacy of such  laws  and  regulations  affecting
 medical, dental or podiatric malpractice enacted or promulgated in 1985,
 1986,  by this act and at any other time.  Notwithstanding any provision
 of the insurance law, rates already established and to be established by
 the superintendent pursuant to this section are deemed adequate if  such
 rates  would be adequate when taken together with the maximum authorized
 annual surcharges to be imposed for a reasonable period of time  whether
 or  not  any  such  annual surcharge has been actually imposed as of the
 establishment of such rates.

 chapter  63  of  the  laws  of 2001, amending chapter 266 of the laws of
 1986, amending the civil practice law and rules and other laws  relating

 election  under  subsection  (a) of this section is made for any taxable

 lation,

 date for revocation which is on or after the day on which the revocation
 is made, or
   (3)  if any person who was not a shareholder of the corporation on the
 day on which the election is made becomes a shareholder  in  the  corpo-
 ration  and  affirmatively  refuses  to  consent to such election in the

 are adjusted under subsection (s) of section six hundred twelve.
   (e)  [Inadvertent  invalid  elections.  If  (1)  an   election   under
 subsection  (a)  of  this section was not effective for the taxable year
 for which made (determined without regard to paragraph two of subsection
 (b) of this section) by  reason  of  a  failure  to  obtain  shareholder
 consents,
   (2)  the  commissioner  determines that the circumstances resulting in
 such ineffectiveness were inadvertent,
   (3) no later than a reasonable period of time after discovery  of  the
 circumstances  resulting  in  such  ineffectiveness, steps were taken to
 acquire the required shareholder consents, and
   (4) the corporation, and each person who  was  a  shareholder  in  the
 corporation  at  any  time  during the period specified pursuant to this
 subsection, agrees to make such adjustments (consistent with the  treat-
 ment  of the corporation as a New York S corporation) as may be required
 by the commissioner with respect to such period,
   (5) then, notwithstanding the circumstances resulting in such ineffec-
 tiveness, such corporation shall be treated as a New York S  corporation
 during the period specified by the commissioner.
   (f)  Validated  federal elections. If (1) an election under subsection
 (a) of this section was made for a taxable year or  years  of  a  corpo-
 ration, which years occur with or within the period for which the feder-
 al  S  election  of  such corporation has been validated pursuant to the
 provisions of subsection (f) of section thirteen  hundred  sixty-two  of
 the internal revenue code, and

 corporation at any time during such taxable year or years agrees to make
 such adjustments (consistent with the treatment of the corporation as  a
 New  York  S  corporation)  as  may be required by the commissioner with
 respect to such year or years,
   (3) then such corporation shall be treated as a New York S corporation
 during such year or years.

   (g) Transitional rule. Any election made under  this  section  (as  in
 effect  for  taxable  years  beginning  before  January  first, nineteen
 hundred eighty-three)  shall  be  treated  as  an  election  made  under
 subsection (a) of this section.

   (F)  Cross reference.  For definitions relating to S corporations, see

   [(i) Mandated New York S corporation election.    (1)  Notwithstanding
 the  provisions  in  subsection  (a)  of this section, in the case of an
 eligible S corporation for which the election under  subsection  (a)  of
 this  section  is not in effect for the current taxable year, the share-
 holders of an eligible S  corporation  are  deemed  to  have  made  that
 election effective for the eligible S corporation's entire current taxa-
 ble  year,  if  the  eligible  S corporation's investment income for the
 current taxable year is more than fifty percent  of  its  federal  gross
 income  for  such year. In determining whether an eligible S corporation
 is deemed to have made that election, the income of a qualified subchap-
 ter S subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by the eligible  S  corpo-
 ration shall be included with the income of the eligible S corporation.
   (2)  For  the purposes of this subsection, the term "eligible S corpo-
 ration" has the same definition as in subsection (a) of this section.
   (3) For the purposes of this subsection, the term "investment  income"
 means the sum of an eligible S corporation's gross income from interest,
 dividends,  royalties,  annuities, rents and gains derived from dealings
 in property, including the corporation's share  of  such  items  from  a
 partnership, estate or trust, to the extent such items would be includa-
 ble in federal gross income for the taxable year.
   (4)  Estimated  tax  payments.  When  making  estimated  tax  payments
 required to be made under this chapter in  the  current  tax  year,  the
 eligible  S  corporation and its shareholders may rely on the eligible S
 corporation's filing status for the prior year. If the eligible S corpo-
 ration's filing status changes from the prior tax year  the  corporation
 or  the  shareholders, as the case may be, which made the payments shall
 be entitled to a refund of such estimated tax payments.  No additions to
 tax with respect to any required declarations or payments  of  estimated
 tax  imposed  under  this chapter shall be imposed on the corporation or
 shareholders, whichever is the taxpayer for the current taxable year, if
 the corporation or the shareholders file such declarations and make such
 estimated tax payments by January fifteenth of  the  following  calendar
 year,  regardless  of whether the taxpayer's tax year is a calendar or a
 fiscal year.]

 sixty of this article] that terminates its taxable status in  New  York,
 any  income  or  gain  recognized  on  the  receipt  of payments from an

 by chapter 28 of the laws of 1987, are amended to read as follows:
   Nonresident partners and [electing] shareholders of S corporations.
   (2) In determining New York source income of a nonresident shareholder
 of [an] A NEW YORK S corporation [where the  election  provided  for  in
 subsection  (a)  of  section  six  hundred  sixty  of this article is in
 effect], there shall be  included  only  the  portion  derived  from  or
 connected  with New York sources of such shareholder's pro rata share of
 items of S corporation income, loss  and  deduction  entering  into  his
 federal  adjusted  gross  income,  increased  by  reductions  for  taxes
 described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
 teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue  code,  as  such  portion
 shall  be  determined  under  regulations of the commissioner consistent
 with the applicable methods  and  rules  for  allocation  under  article
 nine-A  of  this  chapter,  regardless  of  whether  or not such item or
 reduction is included in entire net income under article nine-A for  the

 ration [where the election provided for in subsection (a) of section six

 will be treated as New York source income allocated in a manner consist-
 ent with the applicable methods and rules for allocation  under  article
 nine-A of this chapter in the year that the shareholder made the section

 part of the deemed liquidation, any gain or  loss  recognized  shall  be
 treated  as the disposition of an intangible asset and will not increase

 er's  pro rata share of the corporation's reductions for taxes described
 in paragraphs two and  three  of  subsection  (f)  of  section  thirteen
 hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code, and
   (ii)  [where  such  election  has  not  been made with respect to such
 corporation, there shall be subtracted from federal  unrelated  business
 taxable  income any items of income of the corporation included therein,

 corporation:
   §  15.  Transition  rules.  Any  prior  net  operating loss conversion
 subtraction pool and net  operating  loss  carryforward  that  otherwise
 would  have  been  allowed under subparagraph (viii) of paragraph (a) of

 nated. Further, any credit carryforwards that otherwise would have  been
 allowed  to  such  a taxpayer under section 210-B of the tax law for the
 2018 or subsequent taxable years shall be held in abeyance and be avail-
 able to such taxpayer if its election to be a federal S  corporation  is
 terminated. However, the taxpayer's taxable years as a New York S corpo-
 ration shall be counted for purposes of computing any time period appli-
 cable  to  the  allowance  of  the  prior  net operating loss conversion
 subtraction, the net operating loss deduction or  any  credit  carryfor-
 ward.
   §  16. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxa-
 ble years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

 corporation,  S  corporation,  or non-publicly traded C corporation with
 one hundred or fewer shareholders (hereinafter the "entity")  that  owns
 real  property  that is located in New York [and has a fair market value
 that] OR OWNS SHARES OF STOCK IN A COOPERATIVE HOUSING CORPORATION WHERE
 THE  COOPERATIVE  UNITS  RELATING TO THE SHARES ARE LOCATED IN NEW YORK;
 PROVIDED, THAT THE SUM OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUES OF SUCH REAL  PROPERTY,
 COOPERATIVE  SHARES,  AND  RELATED  COOPERATIVE  UNITS equals or exceeds
 fifty percent of all the assets of the entity on the  date  of  sale  or
 exchange  of  the  taxpayer's interest in the entity.  Only those assets
 that the entity owned for at least two years before the date of the sale
 or exchange of the taxpayer's interest in the entity are to be  used  in
 determining the fair market value of all the assets of the entity on the
 date of sale or exchange. The gain or loss derived from New York sources
 from the taxpayer's sale or exchange of an interest in an entity that is
 subject to the provisions of this subparagraph is the total gain or loss
 for federal income tax purposes from that sale or exchange multiplied by
 a  fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of the real
 property, AND THE COOPERATIVE  HOUSING  CORPORATION  STOCK  AND  RELATED
 COOPERATIVE  UNITS  located  in New York on the date of sale or exchange
 and the denominator of which is the fair market value of all the  assets
 of the entity on the date of sale or exchange.

 years beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

 his federal adjusted gross income, as such portion shall  be  determined

   2.  Public  safety  communications  surcharge.  (a) (1) A surcharge on
 wireless communications service provided to  a  wireless  communications
 customer  with  a  place  of primary use in this state is imposed at the
 rate of one dollar and twenty cents per month on each wireless  communi-
 cations  device  in service during any part of each month. The surcharge
 must be reflected and made payable on bills  rendered  to  the  wireless
 communications customer for wireless communication service.
   [(b)]  (2)  Each  wireless  communications  service supplier providing
 wireless communications  service  in  New  York  state  must  act  as  a

 wireless communications service supplier  has  no  legal  obligation  to
 enforce  the  collection  of  the surcharge from its customers. However,

 the  name  and  address  of  any wireless communications customer with a
 place of primary use in this state that refuses  or  fails  to  pay  the
 surcharge,  as  well as the cumulative amount of the surcharge remaining
 unpaid, and must provide this information to  the  commissioner  at  the

   [(c)] (3) The surcharge must be added as a separate line item to bills
 furnished by a wireless communications service supplier to  its  custom-

 surcharge". Each wireless communications customer who is subject to  the
 provisions of this section remains liable to the state for the surcharge
 due  under this section until it has been paid to the state, except that
 payment to a wireless communications service supplier is  sufficient  to
 relieve the customer from further liability for the surcharge.
   [(d)  Each  wireless  communications  service  supplier is entitled to
 retain, as an administrative fee, an amount  equal  to  two  percent  of
 fifty-eight  and  three-tenths  percent  of the total collections of the
 surcharge imposed by this section, provided that the supplier files  any
 required  return  and remits the surcharge due to the commissioner on or
 before its due date.]

 license or non-driver identification card, or if  the  transaction  scan
 indicates  that  the  information  is false or fraudulent, the attempted

 forum.

   In  either  case,  any  other horsemen's organization may apply to the
 [board] COMMISSION to be  approved  as  the  qualified  organization  to
 receive  payment  of  the one percent of all purses by submitting to the
 [board] COMMISSION proof of both,  that  (i)  it  represents  more  than
 fifty-one  percent  of all the owners and trainers [utilizing] USING the
 same facilities and (ii) the horsemen's organization previously approved
 as qualified by the [board]  COMMISSION  does  not  represent  fifty-one
 percent of all the owners and trainers [utilizing] USING the same facil-
 ities.  If  the  [board]  COMMISSION is satisfied that the documentation
 submitted with the application of any other horsemen's  organization  is
 conclusive  with respect to items (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, it may
 approve the applicant as the qualified recipient organization.
   In the best interests of racing, upon receipt of such an  application,
 the  [board] COMMISSION may direct the payments to the previously quali-
 fied horsemen's organization to continue uninterrupted, or it may direct
 the payments to be withheld and placed in interest-bearing accounts  for
 a  period  not  to  exceed  ninety  days,  during which time the [board]
 COMMISSION shall review and approve or disapprove the application. Funds
 held in such manner shall be paid to the organization  approved  by  the
 [board] COMMISSION. In no event shall the [board] COMMISSION accept more
 than  one such application in any calendar year from the same horsemen's
 organization.

 used  exclusively  for  the benefit of those horsemen racing in New York
 state through the administrative purposes of  such  qualified  organiza-
 tion,  benevolent activities on behalf of backstretch employees, and for
 the promotion of equine research.

 PURPOSES AUTHORIZED, AND, TO PROVIDE UNIFORMITY IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
 SAID LAW THROUGHOUT THE STATE, THE COMMISSION SHALL PRESCRIBE  FORMS  OF

 DISCOURAGE COMMERCIALIZATION IN ALL ITS FORMS, INCLUDING THE  RENTAL  OF
 COMMERCIAL PREMISES FOR BINGO GAMES, AND TO ENSURE A MAXIMUM AVAILABILI-
 TY  OF  THE  NET  PROCEEDS  OF  BINGO EXCLUSIVELY FOR APPLICATION TO THE
 WORTHY CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS SPECIFIED HEREIN; THAT  THE  ONLY  JUSTI-
 FICATION  FOR THIS TITLE IS TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT SUCH WORTHY CAUSES AND
 UNDERTAKINGS, AND THAT THE MANDATE OF SECTION NINE OF ARTICLE ONE OF THE
 STATE CONSTITUTION, AS AMENDED, SHOULD BE CARRIED  OUT  BY  RIGID  REGU-
 LATION  TO  PREVENT  COMMERCIALIZED  GAMBLING,  PREVENT PARTICIPATION BY
 CRIMINAL AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE ELEMENTS AND  PREVENT  THE  DIVERSION  OF
 FUNDS FROM THE PURPOSES HEREIN AUTHORIZED.

   § 1550. SHORT TITLE; PURPOSE OF TITLE. THIS TITLE SHALL BE  KNOWN  AND
 MAY BE CITED AS THE GAMES OF CHANCE LICENSING LAW. THE LEGISLATURE HERE-
 BY  DECLARES  THAT  THE  RAISING OF FUNDS FOR THE PROMOTION OF BONA FIDE
 CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC,  HEALTH,  RELIGIOUS  AND  PATRIOTIC
 CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, WHERE THE BENEFICIARIES ARE UNDETERMINED, IS IN
 THE  PUBLIC  INTEREST.  THE  LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT, AS CONDUCTED
 PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS TITLE,  GAMES  OF  CHANCE  WERE  THE
 SUBJECT  OF EXPLOITATION BY PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS, PROMOTERS AND COMMER-
 CIAL INTERESTS. IT IS HEREBY DECLARED TO BE THE POLICY OF  THE  LEGISLA-
 TURE  THAT  ALL  PHASES  OF THE SUPERVISION, LICENSING AND REGULATION OF
 GAMES OF CHANCE AND OF THE CONDUCT OF GAMES OF CHANCE SHOULD BE  CLOSELY
 CONTROLLED  AND  THAT THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING THERETO SHOULD
 BE STRICTLY CONSTRUED AND RIGIDLY ENFORCED; THAT THE CONDUCT OF THE GAME
 AND ALL  ATTENDANT  ACTIVITIES  SHOULD  BE  SO  REGULATED  AND  ADEQUATE
 CONTROLS SO INSTITUTED AS TO DISCOURAGE COMMERCIALIZATION OF GAMBLING IN
 ALL  ITS FORMS, INCLUDING THE RENTAL OF COMMERCIAL PREMISES FOR GAMES OF
 CHANCE, AND TO ENSURE A MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY  OF  THE  NET  PROCEEDS  OF
 GAMES  OF  CHANCE  EXCLUSIVELY  FOR APPLICATION TO THE WORTHY CAUSES AND
 UNDERTAKINGS SPECIFIED HEREIN; THAT  THE  ONLY  JUSTIFICATION  FOR  THIS
 TITLE  IS TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT SUCH WORTHY CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, AND
 THAT THE MANDATE OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION NINE OF  ARTICLE  ONE  OF
 THE STATE CONSTITUTION, AS AMENDED, SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY RIGID REGU-
 LATIONS  TO  PREVENT  COMMERCIALIZED  GAMBLING, PREVENT PARTICIPATION BY
 CRIMINAL AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE ELEMENTS AND  PREVENT  THE  DIVERSION  OF
 FUNDS FROM THE PURPOSES HEREIN AUTHORIZED.
   §  1551.  LOCAL  OPTION.  SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE, AND
 PURSUANT TO THE DIRECTION CONTAINED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF  SECTION  NINE

 LOCAL  LAW  OR RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM AS PROVIDED
 IN ARTICLE NINE OF THE VILLAGE LAW AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF  LICENSES
 BY  THE  TOWN FOR GAMES OF CHANCE WITHIN SUCH VILLAGE. SUCH LOCAL LAW OR
 RESOLUTION MAY BE REPEALED ONLY BY A LOCAL LAW OR RESOLUTION THAT  SHALL

 LAW AUTHORIZING GAMES OF CHANCE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION  FIFTEEN  HUNDRED
 FIFTY-TWO OF THIS TITLE.
   §  1552.  LOCAL  LAWS  AND  ORDINANCES. 1. THE COMMON COUNCIL OR OTHER

 AND EFFECT OF LAW AND SHALL BE BINDING UPON ALL  MUNICIPALITIES  ISSUING
 LICENSES,  AND  UPON  LICENSEES  OF THE COMMISSION, TO THE END THAT SUCH
 LICENSES SHALL BE ISSUED TO QUALIFIED  LICENSEES  ONLY,  AND  THAT  SAID
 GAMES SHALL BE FAIRLY AND PROPERLY CONDUCTED FOR THE PURPOSES AND IN THE
 MANNER  OF  THE  SAID  GAMES  OF  CHANCE LICENSING LAW PRESCRIBED AND TO
 PREVENT THE GAMES OF CHANCE THEREBY  AUTHORIZED  TO  BE  CONDUCTED  FROM
 BEING  CONDUCTED  FOR  COMMERCIAL  PURPOSES OR PURPOSES OTHER THAN THOSE
 THEREIN AUTHORIZED, PARTICIPATED IN BY  CRIMINAL  OR  OTHER  UNDESIRABLE
 ELEMENTS  AND  THE  FUNDS DERIVED FROM THE GAMES BEING DIVERTED FROM THE
 PURPOSES AUTHORIZED, AND TO PROVIDE UNIFORMITY IN THE ADMINISTRATION  OF

 certificate  of  organization,  and  if  it  shall  comply  with all the
 provisions of this article, and any other corporation  entitled  to  the
 benefits  and  privileges of this article as hereinafter provided, shall
 have the power and the right to hold one or more running  race  meetings
 in  each  year,  and to hold, maintain and conduct running races at such
 meetings. At such running race meetings the corporation, or  the  owners
 of  horses  engaged in such races, or others who are not participants in
 the race, may contribute  purses,  prizes,  premiums  or  stakes  to  be
 contested  for,  but no person or persons other than the owner or owners
 of a horse or horses contesting in  a  race  shall  have  any  pecuniary
 interest in a purse, prize, premium or stake contested for in such race,
 or  be  entitled  to  or  receive any portion thereof after such race is
 finished, and the whole of such purse, prize, premium or stake shall  be
 allotted in accordance with the terms and conditions of such race. Races
 conducted  by  a  franchised corporation shall be permitted only between

   2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A FRAN-
 CHISED CORPORATION SHALL BE PERMITTED TO CONDUCT RACES AFTER  SUNSET  AT
 THE BELMONT PARK RACETRACK, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RACES CONCLUDE BEFORE ELEV-
 EN  O'CLOCK  POST  MERIDIAN. THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION SHALL COORDINATE
 WITH A HARNESS RACING ASSOCIATION OR CORPORATION AUTHORIZED  TO  OPERATE
 IN  WESTCHESTER  COUNTY  TO  ENSURE  THAT THE STARTING TIMES OF ALL SUCH
 RACES ARE STAGGERED.
   3. A track first licensed after January first, nineteen hundred  nine-
 ty,  shall  not  conduct  the  simulcasting of thoroughbred races within
 district one, in accordance with article ten of  this  chapter  on  days
 that  a  franchised  corporation is not conducting a race meeting. In no
 event shall thoroughbred races conducted by a track first licensed after
 January first, nineteen hundred ninety be conducted after eight  o'clock
 post meridian.
   § 4. Subparagraph (i) of paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of section 238
 of  the  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by
 section 2 of part BB of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016,  is  amended  to
 read as follows:
   (i)  The  pari-mutuel  tax  rate  authorized  by paragraph (a) of this
 subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-

 S. 2009                            154                           A. 3009
 
 fies the gaming commission by August fifteenth of each  year  that  such
 pari-mutuel  tax rate is effective of its intent to conduct a race meet-
 ing at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of December, January, Febru-
 ary,  March  and April. For purposes of this paragraph such race meeting
 shall consist of not less than ninety-five days of racing UNLESS  OTHER-
 WISE  AGREED  TO  IN WRITING BY THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS INC.,
 THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATION (OR SUCH  OTHER  ENTITY
 AS  IS  CERTIFIED  AND  APPROVED PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-
 EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE) AND APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.  Not  later  than
 May  first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective, the
 gaming commission shall determine whether a  race  meeting  at  Aqueduct
 racetrack consisted of the number of days as required by this paragraph.
 In  determining  the  number  of  race  days, cancellation of a race day
 because of an act of God that the gaming commission approves or  because
 of  weather  conditions  that  are  unsafe or hazardous which the gaming
 commission approves shall not be construed as a  failure  to  conduct  a
 race  day.  Additionally,  cancellation of a race day because of circum-
 stances beyond the control of such franchised corporation for which  the
 gaming  commission gives approval shall not be construed as a failure to
 conduct a race day. If the gaming commission determines that the  number
 of  days  of racing as required by this paragraph have not occurred then
 the pari-mutuel tax rate in paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  shall
 revert  to  the  pari-mutuel tax rates in effect prior to January first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-five.
   § 5. This act shall take effect April 1, 2017; provided, however, that
 section one of this act shall take effect  upon  the  appointment  of  a
 majority  of  board members; provided, further, that the state franchise
 oversight board shall notify the legislative  bill  drafting  commission
 upon  the  occurrence  of such appointments in order that the commission
 may maintain an accurate and timely effective data base of the  official
 text of the laws of the state of New York in furtherance of effectuating
 the  provisions of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b of
 the public officers law; provided further that the amendments to section
 212 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law made by section
 two of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be
 deemed repealed therewith.

 follows:
   (a)  Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional off-track
 betting corporation, authorized to conduct  pari-mutuel  wagering  under
 this  chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on which
 pari-mutuel betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to  the
 conditions  provided for in this article may apply to the commission for
 a license so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such  form  as
 may  be  prescribed by the commission and shall contain such information
 or other material or evidence as the commission may require. No  license
 shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
 of  thoroughbred  races  from a track located in Suffolk county. The fee
 for such licenses shall be five hundred dollars per  simulcast  facility
 and  for  account wagering licensees that do not operate either a simul-
 cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or

 a licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per  year
 payable  by  the licensee to the commission for deposit into the general
 fund. Except as provided in  this  section,  the  commission  shall  not
 approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
 residences,  homes  or  other areas for the purposes of or in connection
 with pari-mutuel wagering. The commission may approve simulcasting  into
 residences,  homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one or more
 regional off-track betting corporations and one or more of  the  follow-
 ing:  a  franchised  corporation,  thoroughbred  racing corporation or a
 harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcasting
 consists only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is  authorized
 by  this  chapter  at  one  or more simulcast facilities for each of the
 contracting off-track betting corporations which  shall  include  wagers
 made  in  accordance  with  section  one  thousand fifteen, one thousand
 sixteen and one thousand seventeen of  this  article;  provided  further
 that  the  contract  provisions or other simulcast arrangements for such
 simulcast facility shall be no less favorable than those  in  effect  on
 January  first,  two  thousand  five;  (ii)  that each off-track betting
 corporation having within its  geographic  boundaries  such  residences,
 homes  or  other  areas  technically  capable of receiving the simulcast
 signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of  revenues
 shall  be  subject  to  contractual agreement of the parties except that
 statutory payments to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may  not  be
 reduced;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein to the contrary shall
 prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
 ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the commission. For
 purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one thousand thir-
 teen of this article shall  not  apply.  Any  agreement  authorizing  an
 in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior to May fifteenth, nine-
 teen hundred ninety-five, may, and all its terms, be extended until June
 thirtieth,  two  thousand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; provided, however, that
 any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such  agreement  upon
 conveying written notice to all other parties of such agreement at least
 forty-five  days  prior  to  the  effective date of the termination, via
 registered mail. Any party to an agreement receiving such notice  of  an
 intent  to  terminate, may request the commission to mediate between the
 parties new terms and conditions in a replacement agreement between  the
 parties  as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; and (iv) no in-home simul-
 casting in the thoroughbred special betting district shall occur without
 the approval of the regional thoroughbred track.
   § 2. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph d of  subdivision  3  of  section
 1007 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by
 section  2  of  part FF of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (iii) Of the sums retained by a receiving track located in Westchester
 county on races received from a franchised corporation, for  the  period
 commencing January first, two thousand eight and continuing through June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN, the amount used exclusive-
 ly  for  purses to be awarded at races conducted by such receiving track
 shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
 percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
 in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions

 including,  but  not limited to hotels, other lodging facilities, enter-
 tainment  facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,   events
 arenas,  parking  garages  and  other improvements that enhance facility
 amenities; provided that such capital investments shall be  approved  by
 the  division, in consultation with the state racing and wagering board,
 and that such vendor track demonstrates that such  capital  expenditures
 will  increase  patronage at such vendor track's facilities and increase
 the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
 annual amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track  shall
 be  eligible  to  receive  shall  be limited to two million five hundred
 thousand dollars, except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which  there  shall

 receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G) of this subparagraph
 be eligible for a vendor's capital award under this section. Any  opera-
 tor  of  a  vendor  track  which  has received a vendor's capital award,
 choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which  the  award  was
 applied,  prior  to  the full depreciation of the capital improvement in
 accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,  shall  reim-
 burse  the  state  in amounts equal to the total of any such awards. Any
 capital award not approved for a capital expenditure at a video  lottery
 gaming  facility by April first, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN shall
 be deposited into the state lottery fund for education aid; and

 of  determining  the  amount  to  be deducted and withheld from wages on
 account of taxes imposed by or pursuant to the authority of  article  30

 S. 2009--A                         17                         A. 3009--A
 
 er  of  taxation  and  finance  shall adjust such withholding tables and
 methods in regard to taxable years beginning in 2017 and after  in  such
 manner  as  to  result,  so  far  as practicable, in withholding from an
 employee's  wages  an amount substantially equivalent to the tax reason-
 ably estimated to be due for such taxable  years  as  a  result  of  the
 provisions  of  this act. Provided, however, for tax year 2017 the with-
 holding tables shall reflect  as  accurately  as  practicable  the  full
 amount  of  tax  year  2017 liability so that such amount is withheld by
 December 31, 2017. In carrying out his or her  duties  and  responsibil-
 ities  under  this section, the commissioner of taxation and finance may
 prescribe a similar procedure with respect to the taxes required  to  be
 deducted  and  withheld  by  local  laws  imposing taxes pursuant to the

 of  any  other  law  in  relation  to  such  a procedure to the contrary
 notwithstanding.
   § 6. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no addi-
 tion to tax shall be imposed for failure to pay  the  estimated  tax  in
 subsection  (c)  of  section  685  of the tax law and subdivision (c) of
 section 11-1785 of the administrative code of the city of New York  with
 respect  to  any underpayment of a required installment due prior to, or
 within thirty days of, the effective date of this act to the extent that
 such underpayment was created or increased by  the  amendments  made  by
 this  act, provided, however, that the taxpayer remits the amount of any
 underpayment prior to or with his or her next  quarterly  estimated  tax
 payment.
   2. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall take steps to publi-
 cize  the  necessary  adjustments  to  estimated  tax and, to the extent
 reasonably possible, to inform the taxpayer of the tax liability changes
 made by this act.
   § 7. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
 years beginning on and after January 1, 2017.

   (i) The tax savings for each parcel receiving the exemption authorized
 by section four hundred twenty-five of this chapter shall be computed by
 subtracting the amount actually  levied  against  the  parcel  from  the
 amount  that  would  have been levied if not for the exemption, provided
 however, that [beginning with] FOR the two thousand eleven-two  thousand
 twelve THROUGH TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN-TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN school [year]
 YEARS, the tax savings applicable to any "portion" (which as used herein
 shall  mean  that  part  of  an  assessing  unit located within a school
 district) shall not exceed the tax savings applicable to that portion in
 the prior school year multiplied by one hundred two  percent,  with  the
 result  rounded  to the nearest dollar; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT BEGIN-
 NING WITH THE TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN-TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN SCHOOL  YEAR,
 THE  TAX  SAVINGS  APPLICABLE  TO  ANY  PORTION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TAX
 SAVINGS FOR THE PRIOR YEAR. The tax savings attributable  to  the  basic
 and  enhanced exemptions shall be calculated separately. It shall be the
 responsibility of the commissioner to calculate tax savings  limitations
 for purposes of this subdivision.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 MENT SHALL MAKE SUCH FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR THE FILING  OF
 SUCH STATEMENTS.

   (ii)  [In  the case of a senior citizen who has not elected to partic-
 ipate in the STAR income verification program, a notice shall be sent to

 renewal application must be filed  annually  with  the  assessor  on  or
 before  the  applicable  taxable status date on a form prescribed by the
 commissioner. Provided, however, that if a renewal application is not so
 filed, the assessor shall discontinue the enhanced exemption  but  shall
 grant  the  basic  exemption,  subject  to the provisions of subdivision
 eleven of this section.

 (C) OR (D) OF SUBDIVISION FOURTEEN OF THIS  SECTION,  AND  THE  DETERMI-
 NATION IS MADE AFTER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES FOR THAT SCHOOL YEAR HAVE

 EXEMPTION FOR THAT SCHOOL YEAR, THE COMMISSIONER IS AUTHORIZED TO  REMIT
 THE  EXCESS  DIRECTLY  TO THE PROPERTY OWNER UPON RECEIVING CONFIRMATION
 THAT THE TAXPAYER'S ORIGINAL SCHOOL TAX BILL HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL.  THE

 FROM THE ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED FOR THE PAYMENT OF STAR  BENEFITS  TO  LATE
 REGISTRANTS  PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (III) OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVI-

 resided  primarily  thereon  as  of December thirty-first of the taxable
 year, and of any owners' spouses residing primarily thereon as  of  such
 date,  and for purposes of the enhanced STAR credit, the combined income
 of all of the owners of the parcel as of December  thirty-first  of  the

 of such date; provided that for  both  purposes  the  income  to  be  so
 combined  shall  be  the "adjusted gross income" for the taxable year as
 reported for federal income tax purposes, or that would be  reported  as
 adjusted gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be
 filed,  reduced  by  distributions,  to  the  extent included in federal
 adjusted gross income, received from an  individual  retirement  account
 and  an  individual retirement annuity.   FOR TAXABLE YEARS BEGINNING ON
 AND AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN, WHERE  AN  INCOME-ELIGI-
 BILITY DETERMINATION IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY BASED UPON THE INCOME OF ONE OR
 MORE  INDIVIDUALS  WHO  DID  NOT  FILE  A RETURN PURSUANT TO SECTION SIX
 HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS ARTICLE FOR THE APPLICABLE  INCOME  TAX  YEAR,
 THEN  IN  ORDER  TO  BE  ELIGIBLE  FOR  THE  CREDIT  AUTHORIZED  BY THIS
 SUBSECTION, EACH SUCH INDIVIDUAL MUST FILE A STATEMENT WITH THE  DEPART-
 MENT  SHOWING THE SOURCE OR SOURCES OF HIS OR HER INCOME FOR THAT INCOME
 TAX YEAR, AND THE AMOUNT  OR  AMOUNTS  THEREOF,  THAT  WOULD  HAVE  BEEN
 REPORTED ON SUCH A RETURN IF ONE HAD BEEN FILED. SUCH STATEMENT SHALL BE
 FILED AT SUCH TIME, AND IN SUCH FORM AND MANNER, AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED BY
 THE  DEPARTMENT,  AND  SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION SIX
 HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN OF THIS ARTICLE TO THE SAME EXTENT  THAT  A  RETURN
 WOULD  BE.  THE DEPARTMENT SHALL MAKE SUCH FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS AVAIL-
 ABLE FOR THE FILING OF SUCH STATEMENTS. Provided further,  that  if  the
 qualified  taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year
 but did not own it on December thirty-first of the  taxable  year,  then
 the  determination  as  to whether the income of an individual should be
 included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or
 residency status of that individual as of the first  day  of  the  month
 during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the proper-
 ty, rather than as of December thirty-first of the taxable year.
   §  11.  No application for an enhanced exemption on a final assessment
 roll to be completed in 2018 may be approved if the applicants have  not
 enrolled in the STAR income verification program established by subpara-
 graph  (iv) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 4 of section 425 of the real
 property tax law as amended by section two of this  act,  regardless  of

 cants that participation in that program has become  mandatory  for  all
 applicants  and  that  their applications cannot be approved unless they
 enroll therein. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall provide a
 form for assessors to use, at their option, when making  this  notifica-
 tion.
   § 12. This act shall take effect immediately.

 authorize  the  collecting  officers  in  one  or more of the classes of
 municipal corporations described  herein]  EACH  COLLECTING  OFFICER  IS

 provided, however, that such resolution], UNLESS THE GOVERNING  BODY  OF
 THE  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION THAT EMPLOYS THE COLLECTING OFFICER HAS: (I)
 PASSED A RESOLUTION DISALLOWING PARTIAL PAYMENTS OR (II) PASSED A RESOL-
 UTION  LIMITING  THE  CONDITIONS  UNDER  WHICH  PARTIAL PAYMENTS WILL BE
 ACCEPTED, IN WHICH CASE PARTIAL PAYMENTS SHALL BE ACCEPTED IN ACCORDANCE
 WITH THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE RESOLUTION.

 PURPOSES, ANY PARTIAL PAYMENTS SHALL BE APPLIED PROPORTIONATELY THERETO.
   (D)  WHERE SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES ARE PAYABLE TO THE COLLECTING OFFICER
 OF A CITY OR TOWN THAT HAS NOT ACTED TO DISALLOW PARTIAL  PAYMENTS,  THE
 GOVERNING  BODY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY PASS A RESOLUTION DISALLOWING
 PARTIAL PAYMENTS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT PURPOSES. IF IT HAS  NOT  DONE  SO,
 THEN  THE  COLLECTING  OFFICER  SHALL  BE  AUTHORIZED  TO ACCEPT PARTIAL
 PAYMENTS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS MAY APPLY

 es of municipal corporations: (a) all towns within the county;  (b)  all
 cities for which the county enforces the collection of delinquent taxes;

 apply only to the towns in the county.
   3.]  After any partial payment authorized pursuant to this section has
 been paid, interest and penalties shall be charged  against  the  unpaid
 balance only. The acceptance of a partial payment by any official pursu-
 ant  to  this section shall not be deemed to affect any liens and powers
 of any [county]  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION  conferred  in  any  general  or
 special  act,  but such rights and powers shall remain in full force and
 effect to enforce collection of the unpaid balance of such  tax  or  tax
 liens together with interest, penalties and other lawful charges.

 PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION MAY NOT DECLINE TO DO SO.
   4. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO AUTHORIZE A COLLECT-
 ING OFFICER TO ACCEPT A PARTIAL PAYMENT AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF  HIS  OR
 HER  WARRANT,  OR  AT ANY OTHER TIME THAT SUCH COLLECTING OFFICER IS NOT
 AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT TAX PAYMENTS.

 company or a qualified independent film production company for  services
 performed  by those individuals in one of the counties specified in this
 paragraph in connection with a qualified film with a minimum  budget  of

 cated  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the
 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits

 cated  by the governor's office for motion picture and television devel-
 opment among taxpayers  in  accordance  with  subdivision  (a)  of  this
 section. If the commissioner of economic development determines that the
 aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional pool 2 for the
 empire  state film production tax credit have been previously allocated,
 and determines that the pending applications  from  eligible  applicants
 for the empire state film post production tax credit pursuant to section
 thirty-one  of  this  article  is insufficient to utilize the balance of
 unallocated empire state film post  production  tax  credits  from  such
 pool,  the  remainder,  after  such pending applications are considered,
 shall be made available for allocation in  the  empire  state  film  tax
 credit  pursuant  to  this  section,  subdivision  twenty of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (gg) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  Also,  if  the commissioner of economic development determines
 that the aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional  pool
 2  for the empire state film post production tax credit have been previ-
 ously allocated, and  determines  that  the  pending  applications  from
 eligible  applicants  for  the  empire  state film production tax credit
 pursuant to this section is insufficient to utilize the balance of unal-
 located film production tax credits from such pool, then all or part  of
 the  remainder, after such pending applications are considered, shall be
 made available for allocation for the empire state film post  production
 credit  pursuant  to this section, subdivision thirty-two of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (qq) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  The governor's office for motion picture and television devel-
 opment must notify taxpayers of their allocation year  and  include  the
 allocation  year on the certificate of tax credit. Taxpayers eligible to
 claim a credit must report the allocation year directly on their  empire
 state  film production credit tax form for each year a credit is claimed
 and include a copy of the certificate with their tax return. In the case
 of a qualified film that receives  funds  from  additional  pool  2,  no
 empire state film production credit shall be claimed before the later of
 the  taxable  year  the production of the qualified film is complete, or
 the taxable year immediately following the allocation year for which the
 film has been allocated credit  by  the  governor's  office  for  motion
 picture and television development.

 thousand  [nineteen]  TWENTY-TWO of the annual allocation made available
 to the empire state film post production credit  pursuant  to  paragraph
 four  of  subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. Such
 aggregate amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's  office
 for  motion  picture and television development among taxpayers in order
 of priority based upon the date of filing an application for  allocation
 of post production credit with such office. If the total amount of allo-
 cated  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the
 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year  is  less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual  allocation  for  two  thousand  seventeen  made available to the
 empire state film post production credit pursuant to paragraph  four  of
 subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. However, in no
 event may the total of the credits allocated under  this  paragraph  and
 the credits allocated under paragraph five of subdivision (a) of section
 twenty-four  of  this  article  exceed  five million dollars in any year
 during the period two thousand fifteen through two  thousand  [nineteen]

   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds it necessary to
 revise  a  decision of the tax appeals tribunal that disturbed the long-
 standing policy of the department of taxation and  finance  that  single
 member limited liability companies that are treated as disregarded enti-
 ties  for  federal  income  tax purposes also would be treated as disre-
 garded entities for purposes of determining eligibility of the owners of
 such entities for tax credits allowed  under  article  9,  9-A,  22,  32
 (prior  to  its  repeal)  or  33 of the tax law. The decision of the tax
 appeals tribunal, if allowed to stand, will result in the denial of  tax
 credits,  such  as  empire  zone  tax credits, to taxpayers who in prior
 years received those credits.
   § 2. The tax law is amended by adding a new  section  43  to  read  as
 follows:

 TAX CREDITS. A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY THAT HAS A SINGLE MEMBER AND IS
 DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM ITS OWNER FOR FEDERAL INCOME  TAX
 PURPOSES  (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY SPECIAL RULES RELATED TO THE IMPOSI-
 TION OF CERTAIN FEDERAL TAXES, INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO  CERTAIN
 EMPLOYMENT  AND EXCISE TAXES) SHALL BE DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE
 FROM ITS OWNER FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT  THE  TAXPAYER
 THAT  IS  THE  SINGLE MEMBER OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY SATISFIES
 THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY TAX CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE
 NINE, NINE-A, TWENTY-TWO OR THIRTY-THREE  OF  THIS  CHAPTER  OR  ALLOWED
 UNDER  ARTICLE  THIRTY-TWO  OF  THIS CHAPTER PRIOR TO THE REPEAL OF SUCH
 ARTICLE. SUCH REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  ANY  NECESSARY
 CERTIFICATION, EMPLOYMENT OR INVESTMENT THRESHOLDS, PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS,
 AND  ANY  TIME  PERIOD FOR ELIGIBILITY, SHALL BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER
 AND THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR  NOT  SUCH  REQUIREMENTS  HAVE  BEEN

 SATISFIED  AND  THE  COMPUTATION  OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE MADE BY DEEMING
 SUCH TAXPAYER AND SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY TO BE A SINGLE  ENTITY.

 APPLICANT,  OR  AFTER  EXAMINATION  TO  CERTIFY AN ELIGIBLE FOR WHOM TAX
 CLEARANCE IS DENIED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE.  A MUNIC-
 IPAL COMMISSION, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OR  BODY
 OF  THE  CITY  OR COUNTY AS THE CASE MAY BE, OR A REGIONAL COMMISSION OR
 PERSONNEL OFFICER, PURSUANT TO  GOVERNMENTAL  AGREEMENT,  MAY  ELECT  TO
 REQUIRE TAX CLEARANCES FOR APPLICANTS AND TO REFUSE TO EXAMINE AN APPLI-
 CANT,  OR AFTER EXAMINATION TO CERTIFY AN ELIGIBLE FOR WHOM A TAX CLEAR-
 ANCE IS DENIED BY THE DEPARTMENT  OF  TAXATION  AND  FINANCE.  PROVIDED,
 HOWEVER, THAT THE DEPARTMENT AND MUNICIPAL COMMISSIONS SHALL NOT REQUIRE

 SHALL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION  DEEMED  NECESSARY  BY  THE
 DEPARTMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE TO EFFICIENTLY AND
 ACCURATELY  PROVIDE A TAX CLEARANCE, AND THE FAILURE BY THE APPLICANT TO
 PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION SHALL DISQUALIFY THE APPLICANT.
   § 2. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 171-w to  read  as
 follows:
   §  171-W. ENFORCEMENT OF DELINQUENT TAX LIABILITIES THROUGH TAX CLEAR-
 ANCES. (1) FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE TERM "TAX  LIABILITIES"
 SHALL  MEAN ANY TAX, SURCHARGE, OR FEE ADMINISTERED BY THE COMMISSIONER,
 OR ANY PENALTY OR INTEREST ON SUCH TAX, SURCHARGE, OR FEE,  OWED  BY  AN

 GOVERNMENT  ENTITY THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR HAS ELECTED TO REQUIRE TAX
 CLEARANCES TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES BY WHICH THE DEPARTMENT SHALL RECEIVE
 A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST AND TRANSMIT SUCH TAX CLEARANCE TO  THE  GOVERN-
 MENT  ENTITY, AND ANY OTHER PROCEDURES DEEMED NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION. THESE PROCEDURES SHALL, TO THE EXTENT  PRAC-
 TICABLE,  REQUIRE SECURE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT
 AND THE REQUESTING GOVERNMENT ENTITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  REQUESTS  TO  THE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSMISSION OF TAX CLEARANCES TO
 THE REQUESTING ENTITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A
 GOVERNMENT ENTITY SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO SHARE  ANY  APPLICANT  DATA  OR
 INFORMATION  WITH  THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE PROPER
 MATCHING OF THE APPLICANT TO THE TAX RECORDS MAINTAINED BY  THE  DEPART-
 MENT.
   (3)  UPON  RECEIPT  OF  A  TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL
 EXAMINE ITS RECORDS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SUBJECT OF THE  TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  REQUEST  HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE

 S. 2009--A                         60                         A. 3009--A
 
 DOLLAR THRESHOLD APPLICABLE FOR SUCH TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST OR, WHERE  NO
 THRESHOLD  HAS  BEEN  ESTABLISHED  BY  LAW  OR OTHERWISE, EQUAL TO OR IN
 EXCESS OF  FIVE  HUNDRED  DOLLARS.  WHEN  A  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO
 REQUIRES, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL ALSO DETERMINE WHETHER (I) THE SUBJECT OF
 SUCH REQUEST HAS COMPLIED WITH APPLICABLE TAX RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS
 FOR  EACH OF THE PAST THREE YEARS; AND/OR (II) WHETHER A SUBJECT OF SUCH
 REQUEST THAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS  A  PERSON  REQUIRED  TO
 REGISTER  PURSUANT TO SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER
 IS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL DENY A  TAX
 CLEARANCE  IF  IT DETERMINES THAT THE SUBJECT OF A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST
 HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN  EXCESS  OF  THE  APPLICABLE
 THRESHOLD  OR,  WHEN  THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO REQUIRES, HAS NOT
 COMPLIED WITH APPLICABLE RETURN FILING AND/OR REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
   (4) IF A TAX CLEARANCE IS DENIED, THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY THAT REQUESTED
 THE CLEARANCE SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE  TO  THE  APPLICANT  TO  CONTACT  THE
 DEPARTMENT. SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE MADE BY FIRST CLASS MAIL WITH A CERTIF-
 ICATE OF MAILING AND A COPY OF SUCH NOTICE ALSO SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE
 DEPARTMENT.  WHEN  THE APPLICANT CONTACTS THE DEPARTMENT, THE DEPARTMENT
 SHALL INFORM THE APPLICANT OF THE BASIS FOR THE DENIAL OF THE TAX CLEAR-
 ANCE AND SHALL ALSO INFORM THE APPLICANT (I) THAT A TAX CLEARANCE DENIED
 DUE TO PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES MAY BE ISSUED ONCE  THE  TAXPAYER  FULLY
 SATISFIES  PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES OR MAKES PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS SATIS-
 FACTORY TO THE COMMISSIONER; (II) THAT A TAX  CLEARANCE  DENIED  DUE  TO
 FAILURE  TO FILE TAX RETURNS MAY BE ISSUED ONCE THE APPLICANT HAS SATIS-
 FIED THE APPLICABLE RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS; (III) THAT A TAX  CLEAR-
 ANCE  DENIED  FOR FAILURE TO REGISTER PURSUANT TO SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED
 THIRTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER MAY BE ISSUED ONCE THE APPLICANT HAS  REGIS-
 TERED PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION; AND (IV) THE GROUNDS FOR CHALLENGING THE
 DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE LISTED IN SUBDIVISION FIVE OF THIS SECTION.
   (5)  (A)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION OF LAW, AND EXCEPT AS
 SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, AN APPLICANT DENIED A TAX CLEARANCE  SHALL
 HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMMENCE A COURT ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR SEEK ANY OTHER
 LEGAL  RECOURSE  AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT OR THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY RELATED
 TO THE DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT.
   (B) AN APPLICANT SEEKING TO CHALLENGE THE DENIAL OF  A  TAX  CLEARANCE
 MUST  PROTEST  TO THE DEPARTMENT OR THE DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS NO LATER
 THAN SIXTY DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE NOTIFICATION TO THE APPLICANT  THAT
 THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  WAS DENIED. AN APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE A DEPARTMENT
 FINDING OF PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES ONLY ON THE  GROUNDS  THAT  (I)  THE
 INDIVIDUAL  OR  ENTITY DENIED THE TAX CLEARANCE IS NOT THE INDIVIDUAL OR
 ENTITY WITH THE PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES AT ISSUE; (II) THE PAST-DUE TAX
 LIABILITIES WERE  SATISFIED;  (III)  THE  APPLICANT'S  WAGES  ARE  BEING
 GARNISHED FOR THE PAYMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT OR COMBINED CHILD AND SPOUSAL
 SUPPORT  PURSUANT  TO  AN  INCOME  EXECUTION  ISSUED PURSUANT TO SECTION
 FIFTY-TWO HUNDRED FORTY-ONE OR FIFTY-TWO HUNDRED FORTY-TWO OF THE  CIVIL
 PRACTICE  LAW  AND  RULES OR ANOTHER STATE'S INCOME WITHHOLDING ORDER AS
 AUTHORIZED UNDER PART FIVE OF ARTICLE FIVE-B OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT, OR
 GARNISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PAST-DUE TAX  LIABIL-
 ITIES  AT  ISSUE; OR (IV) THE APPLICANT IS MAKING CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS
 OR COMBINED CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO  A  SATISFAC-
 TORY  PAYMENT  ARRANGEMENT  UNDER  SECTION  ONE  HUNDRED ELEVEN-B OF THE
 SOCIAL SERVICES LAW WITH A SUPPORT COLLECTION UNIT OR  OTHERWISE  MAKING
 PERIODIC  PAYMENTS  IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY OF THE
 FAMILY COURT ACT. AN APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE  A  DEPARTMENT  FINDING  OF
 FAILURE  TO  COMPLY  WITH  TAX  RETURN  FILING  REQUIREMENTS ONLY ON THE

 S. 2009--A                         61                         A. 3009--A
 
 GROUNDS THAT ALL REQUIRED TAX RETURNS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR  EACH  OF  THE
 PAST THREE YEARS.
   (C)  NOTHING  IN  THIS  SUBDIVISION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY APPLICANT
 FROM SEEKING RELIEF FROM JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY PURSUANT TO SECTION
 SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER, TO THE EXTENT THAT HE OR SHE  IS
 ELIGIBLE  PURSUANT  TO  THAT  SECTION, OR ESTABLISHING TO THE DEPARTMENT
 THAT THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE UNDERLYING TAX LIABILITIES HAS  BEEN  STAYED
 BY  THE  FILING  OF  A  PETITION PURSUANT TO THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OF 1978
 (TITLE ELEVEN OF THE UNITED STATES CODE).
   (6) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF  LAW,  THE  DEPARTMENT  MAY
 EXCHANGE  WITH  A GOVERNMENT ENTITY ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT, IN THE
 DISCRETION OF THE COMMISSIONER, IS NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A
 TAX CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT. HOWEVER, NO GOVERNMENT ENTITY MAY RE-DISCLOSE
 THIS INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER ENTITY  OR  PERSON,  OTHER  THAN  FOR  THE
 PURPOSE  OF  INFORMING  THE  APPLICANT THAT A REQUIRED TAX CLEARANCE HAS
 BEEN DENIED, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW.
   (7) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION,  THE  ACTIVITIES  TO
 COLLECT  PAST-DUE  TAX LIABILITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT PURSUANT
 TO THIS SECTION SHALL NOT IN ANY  WAY  LIMIT,  RESTRICT  OR  IMPAIR  THE
 DEPARTMENT FROM EXERCISING ANY OTHER AUTHORITY TO COLLECT OR ENFORCE TAX
 LIABILITIES UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISION OF LAW.
   §  3. This act shall take effect June 1, 2017; provided, however, that
 the department of taxation and finance, the department of civil service,
 any municipal commission, and any other government  entity  electing  to
 receive  a tax clearance from the department of taxation and finance may
 work to execute  the  necessary  procedures  and  technical  changes  to
 support  the  tax clearance process as described in sections one and two
 of this act before that date; provided,  further,  that  this  effective
 date  will  not  impact  the administration of any tax clearance program
 authorized by another provision of law.

   § 4. Section 40 of chapter 266 of the laws of 1986, amending the civil
 practice  law  and  rules  and  other  laws  relating to malpractice and
 professional medical conduct, as amended by section 5 of part C of chap-
 ter 59 of the laws of 2016, is amended to read as follows:
   § 40. The superintendent of financial services shall  establish  rates
 for  policies  providing  coverage  for  physicians and surgeons medical
 malpractice for the periods commencing July 1, 1985 and ending June  30,
 [2017] 2018; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision
 of  law,  the superintendent shall not establish or approve any increase
 in rates for the period commencing July 1,  2009  and  ending  June  30,
 2010.  The  superintendent shall direct insurers to establish segregated
 accounts for premiums, payments, reserves and investment income  attrib-
 utable to such premium periods and shall require periodic reports by the
 insurers  regarding  claims and expenses attributable to such periods to
 monitor whether such accounts will be sufficient to meet incurred claims
 and expenses. On or after July 1, 1989, the superintendent shall  impose
 a  surcharge  on  premiums  to  satisfy  a  projected deficiency that is
 attributable to the premium levels established pursuant to this  section
 for  such  periods;  provided, however, that such annual surcharge shall
 not exceed eight percent of the established rate until  July  1,  [2017]
 2018, at which time and thereafter such surcharge shall not exceed twen-
 ty-five  percent  of  the  approved  adequate rate, and that such annual
 surcharges shall continue for such period of time as shall be sufficient
 to satisfy such deficiency. The superintendent  shall  not  impose  such
 surcharge  during the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
 2010. On and after July  1,  1989,  the  surcharge  prescribed  by  this
 section  shall  be  retained by insurers to the extent that they insured
 physicians and surgeons during the July 1, 1985 through June 30,  [2017]
 2018  policy  periods;  in  the  event  and to the extent physicians and
 surgeons were insured by another insurer during such periods, all  or  a
 pro  rata  share of the surcharge, as the case may be, shall be remitted
 to such other insurer in accordance with rules  and  regulations  to  be
 promulgated by the superintendent.  Surcharges collected from physicians
 and  surgeons  who  were not insured during such policy periods shall be
 apportioned among all insurers in proportion to the premium  written  by
 each  insurer  during such policy periods; if a physician or surgeon was
 insured by an insurer subject to rates established by the superintendent
 during such policy periods, and  at  any  time  thereafter  a  hospital,
 health  maintenance organization, employer or institution is responsible
 for responding in damages for liability arising out of such  physician's
 or  surgeon's  practice  of medicine, such responsible entity shall also
 remit to such prior insurer the equivalent amount  that  would  then  be
 collected  as  a  surcharge if the physician or surgeon had continued to
 remain insured by such prior insurer. In  the  event  any  insurer  that
 provided  coverage  during  such  policy  periods is in liquidation, the
 property/casualty insurance security fund shall receive the  portion  of
 surcharges to which the insurer in liquidation would have been entitled.
 The surcharges authorized herein shall be deemed to be income earned for
 the  purposes of section 2303 of the insurance law.  The superintendent,
 in establishing adequate rates and in determining  any  projected  defi-
 ciency  pursuant  to  the requirements of this section and the insurance
 law, shall give substantial weight, determined  in  his  discretion  and
 judgment,  to  the  prospective  anticipated  effect  of any regulations
 promulgated and laws enacted and the  public  benefit  of    stabilizing

 S. 2009--A                         69                         A. 3009--A
 
 malpractice rates and minimizing rate level fluctuation during the peri-
 od  of  time  necessary for the development of more reliable statistical
 experience as to the efficacy of such  laws  and  regulations  affecting
 medical, dental or podiatric malpractice enacted or promulgated in 1985,
 1986,  by this act and at any other time.  Notwithstanding any provision
 of the insurance law, rates already established and to be established by
 the superintendent pursuant to this section are deemed adequate if  such
 rates  would be adequate when taken together with the maximum authorized
 annual surcharges to be imposed for a reasonable period of time  whether
 or  not  any  such  annual surcharge has been actually imposed as of the
 establishment of such rates.
   § 5. Section 5 and subdivisions (a) and (e) of section 6 of part J  of
 chapter  63  of  the  laws  of 2001, amending chapter 266 of the laws of
 1986, amending the civil practice law and rules and other laws  relating
 to malpractice and professional medical conduct, as amended by section 6
 of  part  C  of  chapter  59 of the laws of 2016, are amended to read as

 ant to section five of this act,  by  the  superintendent  of  financial
 services  and  the  commissioner  of health, and a certification of such
 determination to the state director of the  budget,  the  chair  of  the

 SHALL MEAN ANY TAX, SURCHARGE, OR FEE ADMINISTERED BY THE  COMMISSIONER,
 OR  ANY  PENALTY  OR  INTEREST ON SUCH TAX, SURCHARGE OR FEE, OWED BY AN
 INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY. THE TERM  "PAST-DUE  TAX  LIABILITIES"  MEANS  ANY

 AGENCIES, POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, INSTRUMENTALITIES, PUBLIC CORPORATIONS
 (INCLUDING A PUBLIC CORPORATION CREATED PURSUANT TO AGREEMENT OR COMPACT

 GOVERNMENT ENTITY THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR HAS ELECTED TO REQUIRE  TAX
 CLEARANCES TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES BY WHICH THE DEPARTMENT SHALL RECEIVE

 PROVISIONS  OF THIS SECTION. THESE PROCEDURES SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PRAC-
 TICABLE, REQUIRE SECURE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE  DEPARTMENT
 AND  THE REQUESTING GOVERNMENT ENTITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF TAX CLEAR-
 ANCE  REQUESTS  TO  THE DEPARTMENT AND TRANSMISSION OF TAX CLEARANCES TO
 THE REQUESTING ENTITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A
 GOVERNMENT ENTITY SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO SHARE  ANY  APPLICANT  DATA  OR

 MATCHING OF THE APPLICANT TO THE TAX RECORDS MAINTAINED BY  THE  DEPART-
 MENT.
   (3)  UPON  RECEIPT  OF  A  TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL

 ANCE  REQUEST  HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE
 DOLLAR THRESHOLD APPLICABLE FOR SUCH TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST OR, WHERE  NO
 THRESHOLD  HAS  BEEN  ESTABLISHED  BY  LAW  OR OTHERWISE, EQUAL TO OR IN
 EXCESS OF  FIVE  HUNDRED  DOLLARS.  WHEN  A  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO

 CLEARANCE  IF  IT DETERMINES THAT THE SUBJECT OF A TAX CLEARANCE REQUEST
 HAS PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES EQUAL TO OR IN  EXCESS  OF  THE  APPLICABLE
 THRESHOLD  OR,  WHEN  THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  REQUEST  SO REQUIRES, HAS NOT
 COMPLIED WITH APPLICABLE RETURN FILING AND/OR REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.

 DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE LISTED IN SUBDIVISION FIVE OF THIS SECTION.

 TO THE DENIAL OF A TAX CLEARANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT.
   (B) AN APPLICANT SEEKING TO CHALLENGE THE DENIAL OF  A  TAX  CLEARANCE
 MUST  PROTEST  TO THE DEPARTMENT OR THE DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS NO LATER
 THAN SIXTY DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE NOTIFICATION TO THE APPLICANT  THAT
 THE  TAX  CLEARANCE  WAS DENIED. AN APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE A DEPARTMENT

 ENTITY WITH THE PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES AT ISSUE; (II) THE PAST-DUE TAX
 LIABILITIES WERE  SATISFIED;  (III)  THE  APPLICANT'S  WAGES  ARE  BEING

 GARNISHED  BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PAST-DUE TAX LIABIL-
 ITIES AT ISSUE; OR (IV) THE APPLICANT IS MAKING CHILD  SUPPORT  PAYMENTS
 OR  COMBINED  CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A SATISFAC-
 TORY PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT UNDER  SECTION  ONE  HUNDRED  ELEVEN-B  OF  THE
 SOCIAL  SERVICES  LAW WITH A SUPPORT COLLECTION UNIT OR OTHERWISE MAKING
 PERIODIC PAYMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY  OF  THE
 FAMILY  COURT  ACT.  AN  APPLICANT MAY CHALLENGE A DEPARTMENT FINDING OF
 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH  TAX  RETURN  FILING  REQUIREMENTS  ONLY  ON  THE
 GROUNDS  THAT  ALL  REQUIRED TAX RETURNS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR EACH OF THE
 PAST THREE YEARS.
   (C) NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION IS INTENDED  TO  LIMIT  ANY  APPLICANT
 FROM SEEKING RELIEF FROM JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY PURSUANT TO SECTION
 SIX  HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF THIS CHAPTER, TO THE EXTENT THAT HE OR SHE IS
 ELIGIBLE PURSUANT TO THAT SECTION, OR  ESTABLISHING  TO  THE  DEPARTMENT
 THAT  THE  ENFORCEMENT OF THE UNDERLYING TAX LIABILITIES HAS BEEN STAYED
 BY THE FILING OF A PETITION PURSUANT TO  THE  BANKRUPTCY  CODE  OF  1978
 (TITLE ELEVEN OF THE UNITED STATES CODE).
   (6)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION OF LAW, THE DEPARTMENT MAY
 EXCHANGE WITH A GOVERNMENT ENTITY ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT,  IN  THE
 DISCRETION OF THE COMMISSIONER, IS NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A
 TAX CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT. HOWEVER, NO GOVERNMENT ENTITY MAY RE-DISCLOSE
 THIS  INFORMATION  TO  ANY  OTHER  ENTITY  OR PERSON, OTHER THAN FOR THE
 PURPOSE OF INFORMING THE APPLICANT THAT A  REQUIRED  TAX  CLEARANCE  HAS
 BEEN DENIED, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW.
   (7)  EXCEPT  AS  OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, THE ACTIVITIES TO
 COLLECT PAST-DUE TAX LIABILITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE  DEPARTMENT  PURSUANT
 TO  THIS  SECTION  SHALL  NOT  IN  ANY WAY LIMIT, RESTRICT OR IMPAIR THE
 DEPARTMENT FROM EXERCISING ANY OTHER AUTHORITY TO COLLECT OR ENFORCE TAX
 LIABILITIES UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISION OF LAW.

 consents,
   (2)  the  commissioner  determines that the circumstances resulting in

   (4) the corporation, and each person who  was  a  shareholder  in  the
 corporation  at  any  time  during the period specified pursuant to this
 subsection, agrees to make such adjustments (consistent with the  treat-

 ment  of the corporation as a New York S corporation) as may be required

   (3) then such corporation shall be treated as a New York S corporation
 during such year or years.
   (g)  Transitional  rule.  Any  election made under this section (as in

   [(i)  Mandated  New  York S corporation election.  (1) Notwithstanding
 the provisions in subsection (a) of this section,  in  the  case  of  an
 eligible  S  corporation  for which the election under subsection (a) of
 this section is not in effect for the current taxable year,  the  share-
 holders  of  an  eligible  S  corporation  are  deemed to have made that
 election effective for the eligible S corporation's entire current taxa-
 ble year, if the eligible S  corporation's  investment  income  for  the
 current  taxable  year  is  more than fifty percent of its federal gross
 income for such year. In determining whether an eligible  S  corporation
 is deemed to have made that election, the income of a qualified subchap-
 ter  S  subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by the eligible S corpo-
 ration shall be included with the income of the eligible S corporation.
   (2) For the purposes of this subsection, the term "eligible  S  corpo-
 ration" has the same definition as in subsection (a) of this section.
   (3)  For the purposes of this subsection, the term "investment income"
 means the sum of an eligible S corporation's gross income from interest,
 dividends, royalties, annuities, rents and gains derived  from  dealings
 in  property,  including  the  corporation's  share of such items from a

 S. 2009--A                         77                         A. 3009--A

 partnership, estate or trust, to the extent such items would be includa-
 ble in federal gross income for the taxable year.
   (4)  Estimated  tax  payments.  When  making  estimated  tax  payments
 required to be made under this chapter in  the  current  tax  year,  the
 eligible  S  corporation and its shareholders may rely on the eligible S
 corporation's filing status for the prior year. If the eligible S corpo-
 ration's filing status changes from the prior tax year  the  corporation
 or  the  shareholders, as the case may be, which made the payments shall
 be entitled to a refund of such estimated tax payments.  No additions to
 tax with respect to any required declarations or payments  of  estimated
 tax  imposed  under  this chapter shall be imposed on the corporation or
 shareholders, whichever is the taxpayer for the current taxable year, if
 the corporation or the shareholders file such declarations and make such
 estimated tax payments by January fifteenth of  the  following  calendar
 year,  regardless  of whether the taxpayer's tax year is a calendar or a
 fiscal year.]

   Section 1. Clause 1 of subparagraph (A) of paragraph 1  of  subsection
 (b)  of section 631 of the tax law, as added by section 1 of part F-1 of
 chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   (1) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "real property located
 in this state" includes an interest in a partnership, limited  liability
 corporation,  S  corporation,  or non-publicly traded C corporation with
 one hundred or fewer shareholders (hereinafter the "entity")  that  owns
 real  property  that is located in New York [and has a fair market value
 that] OR OWNS SHARES OF STOCK IN A COOPERATIVE HOUSING CORPORATION WHERE
 THE COOPERATIVE UNITS RELATING TO THE SHARES ARE LOCATED  IN  NEW  YORK;
 PROVIDED,  THAT THE SUM OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUES OF SUCH REAL PROPERTY,
 COOPERATIVE SHARES, AND RELATED  COOPERATIVE  UNITS  equals  or  exceeds
 fifty  percent  of  all  the assets of the entity on the date of sale or
 exchange of the taxpayer's interest in the entity.   Only  those  assets
 that the entity owned for at least two years before the date of the sale
 or  exchange  of the taxpayer's interest in the entity are to be used in
 determining the fair market value of all the assets of the entity on the
 date of sale or exchange. The gain or loss derived from New York sources
 from the taxpayer's sale or exchange of an interest in an entity that is
 subject to the provisions of this subparagraph is the total gain or loss
 for federal income tax purposes from that sale or exchange multiplied by
 a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of the  real
 property,  AND  THE  COOPERATIVE  HOUSING  CORPORATION STOCK AND RELATED
 COOPERATIVE UNITS located in New York on the date of  sale  or  exchange
 and  the denominator of which is the fair market value of all the assets
 of the entity on the date of sale or exchange.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
 years beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

 his  federal  adjusted gross income, as such portion shall be determined
 under regulations of the tax commission consistent with  the  applicable

 INTEREST OF THE PARTNER IS SUBJECT TO THE  PROVISIONS  OF  SECTION  ONE-
 THOUSAND SIXTY OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, THEN ANY GAIN RECOGNIZED ON
 THE SALE OR TRANSFER FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES SHALL BE TREATED AS

 (I) OF PARAGRAPH ONE OF SUBDIVISION (C) OF THIS SECTION AS IF A  CERTIF-
 ICATE  OF COLLECTION WERE A RESALE OR EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE FOR PURPOSES

 COLLECTION FROM SUCH MARKETPLACE PROVIDER UNDER PARAGRAPH  TWO  OF  THIS
 SUBDIVISION.
   §  4.  Section 1133 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivi-
 sion (f) to read as follows:
   (F) A MARKETPLACE PROVIDER IS RELIEVED OF LIABILITY UNDER THIS SECTION
 FOR FAILURE TO COLLECT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF TAX TO THE EXTENT THAT  THE
 MARKETPLACE PROVIDER CAN SHOW THAT THE ERROR WAS DUE TO INCORRECT INFOR-
 MATION  GIVEN  TO  THE  MARKETPLACE  PROVIDER BY THE MARKETPLACE SELLER.

 RETAIL SALE OF PREPAID WIRELESS  COMMUNICATIONS  SERVICE  OR  A  PREPAID
 WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE.
   (G)  "PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE" MEANS ANY EQUIPMENT USED
 TO ACCESS A PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE.
   (H) "PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE" MEANS A  PREPAID  MOBILE
 CALLING SERVICE AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH TWENTY-TWO OF SUBDIVISION (B) OF
 SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED ONE OF THIS CHAPTER.
   §  2.  Subdivision  2  of  section  186-f  of the tax law, as added by
 section 3 of part B of chapter 56 of the laws of  2009,  is  amended  to
 read as follows:
   2.  Public  safety  communications  surcharge.  (a) (1) A surcharge on
 wireless communications service provided to  a  wireless  communications
 customer  with  a  place  of primary use in this state is imposed at the
 rate of one dollar and twenty cents per month on each wireless  communi-
 cations  device  in service during any part of each month. The surcharge
 must be reflected and made payable on bills  rendered  to  the  wireless
 communications customer for wireless communication service.
   [(b)]  (2)  Each  wireless  communications  service supplier providing
 wireless communications  service  in  New  York  state  must  act  as  a
 collection  agent for the state for the collection of the surcharge. The
 wireless communications service supplier  has  no  legal  obligation  to
 enforce  the  collection  of  the surcharge from its customers. However,
 each wireless communications service supplier must  collect  and  retain
 the  name  and  address  of  any wireless communications customer with a
 place of primary use in this state that refuses  or  fails  to  pay  the
 surcharge,  as  well as the cumulative amount of the surcharge remaining
 unpaid, and must provide this information to  the  commissioner  at  the
 time  and  according to the procedures the commissioner may provide. The
 surcharge must be reported and paid to the commissioner on  a  quarterly
 basis  on  or before the fifteenth day of the month following each quar-
 terly period ending on the last day of February, May, August and  Novem-
 ber,  respectively.  The payments must be accompanied by a return in the
 form and containing the information the commissioner may prescribe.
   [(c)] (3) The surcharge must be added as a separate line item to bills
 furnished by a wireless communications service supplier to  its  custom-
 ers,  and  must  be  identified  as  the  "public  safety communications
 surcharge". Each wireless communications customer who is subject to  the
 provisions of this section remains liable to the state for the surcharge
 due  under this section until it has been paid to the state, except that
 payment to a wireless communications service supplier is  sufficient  to
 relieve the customer from further liability for the surcharge.
   [(d)  Each  wireless  communications  service  supplier is entitled to
 retain, as an administrative fee, an amount  equal  to  two  percent  of
 fifty-eight  and  three-tenths  percent  of the total collections of the
 surcharge imposed by this section, provided that the supplier files  any
 required  return  and remits the surcharge due to the commissioner on or
 before its due date.]

 LESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE OR DEVICE AT THE RATE OF:  (I)  SIXTY  CENTS

 PER RETAIL SALE THAT DOES NOT EXCEED THIRTY DOLLARS; AND (II) ONE DOLLAR
 AND TWENTY CENTS PER RETAIL SALE THAT EXCEEDS THIRTY DOLLARS.
   (2)  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH,  A SALE OF A PREPAID WIRELESS
 COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE OR DEVICE OCCURS IN THIS STATE IF THE SALE  TAKES
 PLACE AT A SELLER'S BUSINESS LOCATION IN THE STATE. IF THE SALE DOES NOT
 TAKE  PLACE  AT THE SELLER'S PLACE OF BUSINESS, IT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY
 DETERMINED TO TAKE PLACE AT THE  PURCHASER'S  SHIPPING  ADDRESS  OR,  IF
 THERE IS NO ITEM SHIPPED, AT THE PURCHASER'S BILLING ADDRESS, OR, IF THE
 SELLER  DOES  NOT  HAVE THAT ADDRESS, AT SUCH ADDRESS AS APPROVED BY THE
 COMMISSIONER THAT REASONABLY REFLECTS THE  CUSTOMER'S  LOCATION  AT  THE
 TIME  OF  THE  SALE  OF  THE  PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE OR
 DEVICE.
   (3) EACH PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SELLER IN NEW YORK STATE MUST
 ACT AS A COLLECTION AGENT FOR  THE  STATE  FOR  THE  COLLECTION  OF  THE

 the commission adopted  effective  May  twenty-third,  nineteen  hundred
 eighty-six  representing  at  least  fifty-one percent of the owners and
 trainers [utilizing] USING the facilities of such corporation.
   In either case, any other horsemen's organization  may  apply  to  the
 [board]  COMMISSION  to  be  approved  as  the qualified organization to
 receive payment of the one percent of all purses by  submitting  to  the
 [board]  COMMISSION  proof  of  both,  that  (i) it represents more than
 fifty-one percent of all the owners and trainers [utilizing]  USING  the
 same facilities and (ii) the horsemen's organization previously approved

 ities. If the [board] COMMISSION is  satisfied  that  the  documentation
 submitted  with  the application of any other horsemen's organization is
 conclusive with respect to items (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, it  may
 approve the applicant as the qualified recipient organization.
   In  the best interests of racing, upon receipt of such an application,
 the [board] COMMISSION may direct the payments to the previously  quali-
 fied horsemen's organization to continue uninterrupted, or it may direct
 the  payments to be withheld and placed in interest-bearing accounts for
 a period not to exceed  ninety  days,  during  which  time  the  [board]
 COMMISSION shall review and approve or disapprove the application. Funds
 held  in  such  manner shall be paid to the organization approved by the

 MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY OF THE NET PROCEEDS OF BINGO EXCLUSIVELY FOR APPLI-
 CATION TO THE WORTHY CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS SPECIFIED HEREIN; THAT  THE
 ONLY  JUSTIFICATION  FOR THIS TITLE IS TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT SUCH WORTHY
 CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, AND THAT THE MANDATE OF SECTION NINE OF ARTICLE

 BY DECLARES THAT THE RAISING OF FUNDS FOR THE  PROMOTION  OF  BONA  FIDE
 CHARITABLE,  EDUCATIONAL,  SCIENTIFIC,  HEALTH,  RELIGIOUS AND PATRIOTIC
 CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, WHERE THE BENEFICIARIES ARE UNDETERMINED, IS IN
 THE PUBLIC INTEREST. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY  FINDS  THAT,  AS  CONDUCTED
 PRIOR  TO  THE  EFFECTIVE  DATE  OF THIS TITLE, GAMES OF CHANCE WERE THE
 SUBJECT OF EXPLOITATION BY PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS, PROMOTERS AND  COMMER-
 CIAL  INTERESTS.  IT IS HEREBY DECLARED TO BE THE POLICY OF THE LEGISLA-
 TURE THAT ALL PHASES OF THE SUPERVISION,  LICENSING  AND  REGULATION  OF
 GAMES  OF CHANCE AND OF THE CONDUCT OF GAMES OF CHANCE SHOULD BE CLOSELY
 CONTROLLED AND THAT THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING  THERETO  SHOULD
 BE STRICTLY CONSTRUED AND RIGIDLY ENFORCED; THAT THE CONDUCT OF THE GAME
 AND  ALL  ATTENDANT  ACTIVITIES  SHOULD  BE  SO  REGULATED  AND ADEQUATE
 CONTROLS SO INSTITUTED AS TO DISCOURAGE COMMERCIALIZATION OF GAMBLING IN
 ALL ITS FORMS, INCLUDING THE RENTAL OF COMMERCIAL PREMISES FOR GAMES  OF
 CHANCE,  AND  TO  ENSURE  A  MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY OF THE NET PROCEEDS OF
 GAMES OF CHANCE EXCLUSIVELY FOR APPLICATION TO  THE  WORTHY  CAUSES  AND
 UNDERTAKINGS  SPECIFIED  HEREIN;  THAT  THE  ONLY JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS
 TITLE IS TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT SUCH WORTHY CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS,  AND
 THAT  THE  MANDATE  OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION NINE OF ARTICLE ONE OF
 THE STATE CONSTITUTION, AS AMENDED, SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY RIGID REGU-
 LATIONS TO PREVENT COMMERCIALIZED  GAMBLING,  PREVENT  PARTICIPATION  BY
 CRIMINAL  AND  OTHER  UNDESIRABLE  ELEMENTS AND PREVENT THE DIVERSION OF
 FUNDS FROM THE PURPOSES HEREIN AUTHORIZED.

 PURSUANT  TO  THE DIRECTION CONTAINED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION NINE

 NANCE  ADOPTED BY A TOWN SHALL BE OPERATIVE IN ANY VILLAGE OR WITHIN ANY
 PART OF ANY VILLAGE LOCATED WITHIN SUCH TOWN IF, AFTER ADOPTION OF  SUCH
 LOCAL  LAW  OR ORDINANCE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF SUCH VILLAGE ADOPTS A
 LOCAL LAW OR RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM  AS  PROVIDED
 IN  ARTICLE NINE OF THE VILLAGE LAW AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF LICENSES
 BY THE TOWN FOR GAMES OF CHANCE WITHIN SUCH VILLAGE. SUCH LOCAL  LAW  OR
 RESOLUTION  MAY BE REPEALED ONLY BY A LOCAL LAW OR RESOLUTION THAT SHALL
 ALSO BE SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM, OR BY ENACTMENT OF  A  LOCAL
 LAW  AUTHORIZING  GAMES OF CHANCE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION FIFTEEN HUNDRED
 FIFTY-TWO OF THIS TITLE.

 GAMES SHALL BE FAIRLY AND PROPERLY CONDUCTED FOR THE PURPOSES AND IN THE
 MANNER  OF  THE  SAID  GAMES  OF  CHANCE LICENSING LAW PRESCRIBED AND TO

   §  2.  Subparagraphs  (ii),  (iii), (vii) and (xvii) of paragraph a of
 subdivision 8 of section 212 of the  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and
 breeding  law,  as added by chapter 18 of the laws of 2008, are amended,

 comprise  the franchise agreement between the franchised corporation and
 the state of New York governing the franchised  corporation's  operation
 of  thoroughbred  racing and pari-mutuel wagering at the racetracks. The
 franchise agreement shall contain objective performance  standards  that
 shall  allow  contract  review in a manner consistent with this chapter.
 The franchise oversight board shall notify  the  franchised  corporation
 authorized  by  this  chapter  in  writing of any material breach of the
 performance standards or repeated non-material breaches which the  fran-
 chise  oversight  board may determine collectively constitute a material
 breach of the performance standards. Prior to taking any action  against
 such franchised corporation, the franchise oversight board shall provide
 the  franchised  corporation with the reasonable opportunity to cure any
 material breach of the performance standards  or  repeated  non-material
 breaches  which the franchise oversight board may determine collectively
 constitute a material breach of the performance standards.  Upon a writ-
 ten finding of  a  material  breach  of  the  performance  standards  or
 repeated  non-material  breaches which the franchise oversight board may
 determine collectively constitute a material breach of  the  performance
 standards,  the  franchise  oversight board may recommend that the fran-
 chise agreement be terminated. The franchise oversight board shall refer
 such recommendation to the [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION for  a
 hearing  conducted  pursuant  to  section two hundred forty-five of this
 article for a determination of whether to terminate the franchise agree-
 ment with the franchised corporation;
   (iii) oversee, monitor and review  all  significant  transactions  and
 operations  of  the  franchised  corporation authorized by this chapter;
 provided, however, that nothing in  this  section  shall  be  deemed  to
 reduce, diminish or impede the authority of the [state racing and wager-
 ing  board]  COMMISSION  to,  pursuant  to  article one of this chapter,
 determine and enforce compliance  by  the  franchised  corporation  with
 terms  of racing laws and regulations. Such oversight shall include, but
 not be limited to:
   (A) review and make recommendations concerning  the  annual  operating
 budgets of such franchised corporation;
   (B)  review and make recommendations concerning operating revenues and
 the establishment of a financial plan;
   (C) review and make recommendations  concerning  accounting,  internal
 control systems and security procedures;

   (D)  review  such  franchised  corporation's  revenue  and expenditure
 [polices] POLICIES which shall include collective bargaining  agreements
 management and employee compensation plans, vendor contracts and capital
 improvement plans;
   (E)  review  such  franchise  corporation's  compliance with the laws,
 rules and regulations applicable to its activities;
   (F) make recommendations for establishing model governance  principles
 to improve accountability and transparency; and

 submitted annually by the franchised corporation.
   (vii) review and  provide  any  recommendations  on  all  simulcasting
 contracts  (buy and sell) that are also subject to prior approval of the
 [racing and wagering board] COMMISSION;
   (xvii) request and accept the assistance of any state agency,  includ-
 ing  but not limited to, the [racing and wagering board, the division of
 the lottery] COMMISSION, office of parks, recreation and historic  pres-
 ervation,  the  department of environmental conservation and the depart-
 ment of taxation and finance, in obtaining information  related  to  the
 franchised  corporation's  compliance  with  the  terms of the franchise
 agreement;[and]
    (XVIII) WHEN THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD DETERMINES  THE  FINANCIAL
 POSITION  OF THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION HAS DEVIATED MATERIALLY FROM THE
 FRANCHISED CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL PLAN, OR OTHER SUCH RELATED DOCUMENTS
 PROVIDED TO THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD, OR WHEN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
 SUCH PLAN WOULD, IN THE OPINION OF THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD, POSE A
 SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE LIQUIDITY OF THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION, IN  ANY
 ORDER OR COMBINATION:
   (A) HIRE, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION, AN INDEPENDENT
 FINANCIAL  ADVISER  TO EVALUATE THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE FRANCHISED
 CORPORATION AND REPORT ON SUCH TO THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD; AND
   (B) REQUIRE THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION TO  SUBMIT  FOR  THE  FRANCHISE
 OVERSIGHT  BOARD'S  APPROVAL  A  CORRECTIVE  ACTION  PLAN ADDRESSING ANY
 CONCERNS IDENTIFIED AS RISKS BY THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD.
   (XIX) WHEN THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD FINDS THE  FRANCHISED  CORPO-
 RATION  HAS  EXPERIENCED TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF MATERIAL LOSSES DUE TO
 CIRCUMSTANCES WITHIN THE  CONTROL  OF  THE  FRANCHISED  CORPORATION,  AS
 DETERMINED  BY  THE FRANCHISE OVERSIGHT BOARD, THE BOARD MAY BY MAJORITY
 VOTE REQUEST THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET TO  IMPOUND  AND  ESCROW  RACING
 SUPPORTING  PAYMENTS  ACCRUING  TO  THE BENEFIT OF THE FRANCHISED CORPO-
 RATION UNTIL THE FRANCHISED CORPORATION ACHIEVES THE GOALS OF  A  BOARD-
 APPROVED  CORRECTIVE  ACTION  PLAN ADDRESSING CONCERNS IDENTIFIED BY THE
 BOARD. THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET MAY, UPON  WARRANT  OF  THE  FRANCHISE
 OVERSIGHT  BOARD,  APPROVE  THE  USE OF WITHHELD RACING SUPPORT PAYMENTS
 NECESSARY TO SATISFY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS USED TO  FUND  BOARD-APPROVAL
 CAPITAL INVESTMENTS.

 formed  under  the  provisions  of  this  article,  if so claimed in its
 certificate of organization,  and  if  it  shall  comply  with  all  the
 provisions  of  this  article, and any other corporation entitled to the
 benefits and privileges of this article as hereinafter  provided,  shall
 have  the  power and the right to hold one or more running race meetings
 in each year, and to hold, maintain and conduct running  races  at  such
 meetings.  At  such running race meetings the corporation, or the owners

 S. 2009--A                         154                        A. 3009--A
 
 of horses engaged in such races, or others who are not  participants  in
 the  race,  may  contribute  purses,  prizes,  premiums  or stakes to be
 contested for, but no person or persons other than the owner  or  owners
 of  a  horse  or  horses  contesting  in a race shall have any pecuniary
 interest in a purse, prize, premium or stake contested for in such race,
 or be entitled to or receive any portion  thereof  after  such  race  is
 finished,  and the whole of such purse, prize, premium or stake shall be
 allotted in accordance with the terms and conditions of such race. Races
 conducted by a franchised corporation shall be  permitted  only  between
 sunrise and sunset.
   2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A FRAN-
 CHISED  CORPORATION  SHALL BE PERMITTED TO CONDUCT RACES AFTER SUNSET AT
 THE BELMONT PARK RACETRACK, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RACES CONCLUDE BEFORE ELEV-
 EN O'CLOCK POST MERIDIAN. THE FRANCHISED  CORPORATION  SHALL  COORDINATE
 WITH  A  HARNESS RACING ASSOCIATION OR CORPORATION AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE
 IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY TO ENSURE THAT THE  STARTING  TIMES  OF  ALL  SUCH
 RACES ARE STAGGERED.
   3.  A track first licensed after January first, nineteen hundred nine-
 ty, shall not conduct the  simulcasting  of  thoroughbred  races  within
 district  one,  in  accordance  with article ten of this chapter on days
 that a franchised corporation is not conducting a race  meeting.  In  no
 event shall thoroughbred races conducted by a track first licensed after
 January  first, nineteen hundred ninety be conducted after eight o'clock
 post meridian.
   § 4. Subparagraph (i) of paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of section 238
 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and  breeding  law,  as  amended  by
 section  2  of  part BB of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (i) The pari-mutuel tax rate  authorized  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this
 subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-
 fies  the  gaming  commission by August fifteenth of each year that such
 pari-mutuel tax rate is effective of its intent to conduct a race  meet-
 ing at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of December, January, Febru-
 ary,  March  and April. For purposes of this paragraph such race meeting
 shall consist of not less than ninety-five days of racing UNLESS  OTHER-
 WISE  AGREED  TO  IN WRITING BY THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS INC.,
 THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATION (OR SUCH  OTHER  ENTITY
 AS  IS  CERTIFIED  AND  APPROVED PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-
 EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE) AND APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.  Not  later  than
 May  first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective, the
 gaming commission shall determine whether a  race  meeting  at  Aqueduct
 racetrack consisted of the number of days as required by this paragraph.
 In  determining  the  number  of  race  days, cancellation of a race day
 because of an act of God that the gaming commission approves or  because
 of  weather  conditions  that  are  unsafe or hazardous which the gaming
 commission approves shall not be construed as a  failure  to  conduct  a
 race  day.  Additionally,  cancellation of a race day because of circum-
 stances beyond the control of such franchised corporation for which  the
 gaming  commission gives approval shall not be construed as a failure to
 conduct a race day. If the gaming commission determines that the  number
 of  days  of racing as required by this paragraph have not occurred then
 the pari-mutuel tax rate in paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  shall
 revert  to  the  pari-mutuel tax rates in effect prior to January first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-five.
   § 5. This act shall take effect April 1, 2017; provided, however, that
 section one of this act shall take effect  upon  the  appointment  of  a

 S. 2009--A                         155                        A. 3009--A
 
 majority  of  board members; provided, further, that the state franchise
 oversight board shall notify the legislative  bill  drafting  commission
 upon  the  occurrence  of such appointments in order that the commission
 may  maintain an accurate and timely effective data base of the official
 text of the laws of the state of New York in furtherance of effectuating
 the provisions of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b  of
 the public officers law; provided further that the amendments to section
 212 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law made by section
 two of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be
 deemed repealed therewith.

   Section  1.  Paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  1 of section 1003 of the
 racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by  section  1
 of  part  FF  of  chapter  60 of the laws of 2016, is amended to read as
 follows:
   (a) Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional  off-track
 betting  corporation,  authorized  to conduct pari-mutuel wagering under
 this chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on  which
 pari-mutuel  betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to the
 conditions provided for in this article may apply to the commission  for
 a  license  so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such form as
 may be prescribed by the commission and shall contain  such  information
 or  other material or evidence as the commission may require. No license
 shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
 of thoroughbred races from a track located in Suffolk  county.  The  fee
 for  such  licenses shall be five hundred dollars per simulcast facility
 and for account wagering licensees that do not operate either  a  simul-
 cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or
 a  licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per year
 payable by the licensee to the commission for deposit into  the  general
 fund.  Except  as  provided  in  this  section, the commission shall not
 approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
 residences, homes or other areas for the purposes of  or  in  connection
 with  pari-mutuel wagering. The commission may approve simulcasting into
 residences, homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one or  more
 regional  off-track  betting corporations and one or more of the follow-
 ing: a franchised corporation,  thoroughbred  racing  corporation  or  a
 harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcasting
 consists  only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is authorized
 by this chapter at one or more simulcast  facilities  for  each  of  the
 contracting  off-track  betting  corporations which shall include wagers
 made in accordance with  section  one  thousand  fifteen,  one  thousand
 sixteen  and  one  thousand  seventeen of this article; provided further
 that the contract provisions or other simulcast  arrangements  for  such
 simulcast  facility  shall  be no less favorable than those in effect on
 January first, two thousand  five;  (ii)  that  each  off-track  betting
 corporation  having  within  its  geographic boundaries such residences,
 homes or other areas technically  capable  of  receiving  the  simulcast
 signal  shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of revenues
 shall be subject to contractual agreement of  the  parties  except  that
 statutory  payments  to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may not be
 reduced; provided, however, that nothing herein to  the  contrary  shall
 prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
 ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the commission. For

 S. 2009--A                         156                        A. 3009--A
 
 purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one thousand thir-
 teen  of  this  article  shall  not  apply. Any agreement authorizing an
 in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior to May fifteenth, nine-
 teen hundred ninety-five, may, and all its terms, be extended until June
 thirtieth,  two  thousand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; provided, however, that
 any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such  agreement  upon
 conveying written notice to all other parties of such agreement at least
 forty-five  days  prior  to  the  effective date of the termination, via
 registered mail. Any party to an agreement receiving such notice  of  an
 intent  to  terminate, may request the commission to mediate between the
 parties new terms and conditions in a replacement agreement between  the
 parties  as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; and (iv) no in-home simul-
 casting in the thoroughbred special betting district shall occur without
 the approval of the regional thoroughbred track.
   § 2. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph d of  subdivision  3  of  section
 1007 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by
 section  2  of  part FF of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (iii) Of the sums retained by a receiving track located in Westchester
 county on races received from a franchised corporation, for  the  period
 commencing January first, two thousand eight and continuing through June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN, the amount used exclusive-
 ly  for  purses to be awarded at races conducted by such receiving track
 shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
 percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
 in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions
 determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-
 ty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five  to the total commissions that
 would have been available to such  track  prior  to  July  twenty-first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-five.
   §  3.  The  opening  paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 1014 of the

 in Saratoga county at Saratoga thoroughbred racetrack after June thirti-
 eth,  two  thousand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN.   On any day on which a fran-
 chised corporation has not scheduled a racing program but a thoroughbred
 racing corporation located within the state is conducting racing,  every
 off-track  betting  corporation  branch  office  and  every simulcasting
 facility licensed in accordance with section one  thousand  seven  (that
 have  entered  into  a  written agreement with such facility's represen-
 tative horsemen's organization, as  approved  by  the  commission),  one
 thousand eight, or one thousand nine of this article shall be authorized
 to accept wagers and display the live simulcast signal from thoroughbred

 written agreement with such facility's representative horsemen's  organ-
 ization  as  approved by the commission, one thousand eight or one thou-
 sand nine of this article shall  be  authorized  to  accept  wagers  and

   (a) The  franchised  corporation  authorized  under  this  chapter  to

 including, but not limited to hotels, other lodging  facilities,  enter-
 tainment   facilities,  retail  facilities,  dining  facilities,  events

 and  that  such vendor track demonstrates that such capital expenditures
 will increase patronage at such vendor track's facilities  and  increase
 the amount of revenue generated to support state education programs. The
 annual  amount of such vendor's capital awards that a vendor track shall
 be eligible to receive shall be limited  to  two  million  five  hundred
 thousand  dollars,  except for Aqueduct racetrack, for which there shall
 be no annual limit, provided, however, that any such capital  award  for
 the  Aqueduct  video  lottery  terminal  facility  operator shall be one
 percent of the total revenue  wagered  at  the  video  lottery  terminal
 facility  after  payout  for  prizes  pursuant to this chapter until the
 earlier of the designation of one  thousand  video  lottery  devices  as
 hosted  pursuant  to  paragraph four of subdivision a of section sixteen
 hundred seventeen-a of this chapter or April first, two  thousand  nine-
 teen  and shall then be four percent of the total revenue wagered at the
 video lottery terminal facility after payout for prizes pursuant to this
 chapter, provided, further,  that  such  capital  award  shall  only  be
 provided  pursuant  to  an  agreement  with the operator to construct an
 expansion of the facility, hotel, and convention  and  exhibition  space
 requiring a minimum capital investment of three hundred million dollars.
 Except for tracks having less than one thousand one hundred video gaming
 machines,  and  except for a vendor track located west of State Route 14
 from Sodus Point to the Pennsylvania border within New York, and  except
 for  Aqueduct  racetrack each track operator shall be required to co-in-
 vest an amount of capital expenditure equal to its  cumulative  vendor's
 capital award. For all tracks, except for Aqueduct racetrack, the amount
 of any vendor's capital award that is not used during any one year peri-
 od  may be carried over into subsequent years ending before April first,
 two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN. Any amount attributable to a  capital
 expenditure  approved  prior  to  April  first, two thousand [seventeen]
 EIGHTEEN and completed before April first, two thousand [nineteen] TWEN-

 TY-FOUR for a vendor track located west of State  Route  14  from  Sodus

 receive the vendor's capital award. In the event that a  vendor  track's
 capital expenditures, approved by the division prior to April first, two
 thousand  [seventeen]  EIGHTEEN  and completed prior to April first, two
 thousand [nineteen] TWENTY, exceed the vendor track's cumulative capital
 award during the five year  period  ending  April  first,  two  thousand
 [seventeen]  EIGHTEEN,  the vendor shall continue to receive the capital
 award after April first, two thousand [seventeen]  EIGHTEEN  until  such
 approved  capital  expenditures  are paid to the vendor track subject to
 any required co-investment. In no event  shall  any  vendor  track  that
 receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G) of this subparagraph
 be  eligible for a vendor's capital award under this section. Any opera-
 tor of a vendor track which  has  received  a  vendor's  capital  award,
 choosing  to  divest  the capital improvement toward which the award was
 applied, prior to the full depreciation of the  capital  improvement  in
 accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting principles, shall reim-
 burse the state in amounts equal to the total of any  such  awards.  Any
 capital  award not approved for a capital expenditure at a video lottery
 gaming facility by April first, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN  shall
 be deposited into the state lottery fund for education aid; and
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 of  determining  the  amount  to  be deducted and withheld from wages on
 account of taxes imposed by or pursuant to the authority of  article  30
 of  the  tax law in connection with the implementation of the provisions
 of this act shall be prescribed by  the  commissioner  of  taxation  and
 finance with due consideration to the effect such withholding tables and
 methods would have on the receipt and amount of revenue. The commission-
 er  of  taxation  and  finance  shall adjust such withholding tables and
 methods in regard to taxable years beginning in 2017 and after  in  such
 manner  as  to  result,  so  far  as practicable, in withholding from an
 employee's wages an amount substantially equivalent to the  tax  reason-
 ably  estimated  to  be  due  for  such taxable years as a result of the
 provisions of this act. Provided, however, for tax year 2017  the  with-
 holding  tables  shall  reflect  as  accurately  as practicable the full
 amount of tax year 2017 liability so that such  amount  is  withheld  by
 December  31,  2017.  In carrying out his or her duties and responsibil-
 ities under this section, the commissioner of taxation and  finance  may
 prescribe  a  similar procedure with respect to the taxes required to be
 deducted and withheld by local  laws  imposing  taxes  pursuant  to  the
 authority  of  articles 30, 30-A and 30-B of the tax law, the provisions
 of any other law in  relation  to  such  a  procedure  to  the  contrary
 notwithstanding.

 tion  to  tax  shall  be imposed for failure to pay the estimated tax in
 subsection (c) of section 685 of the tax  law  and  subdivision  (c)  of
 section  11-1785 of the administrative code of the city of New York with
 respect to any underpayment of a required installment due prior  to,  or
 within thirty days of, the effective date of this act to the extent that
 such  underpayment  was  created  or increased by the amendments made by
 this act, provided, however, that the taxpayer remits the amount of  any
 underpayment  prior  to  or with his or her next quarterly estimated tax
 payment.
   2. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall take steps to publi-
 cize the necessary adjustments to  estimated  tax  and,  to  the  extent
 reasonably possible, to inform the taxpayer of the tax liability changes
 made by this act.

   Section  1.  Paragraph  5  of subdivision (a) of section 24 of the tax
 law, as amended by chapter 420 of the laws of 2016, is amended  to  read
 as follows:
   (5)  For  the  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nine-
 teen] TWENTY-TWO, in addition to the amount  of  credit  established  in
 paragraph  two of this subdivision, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
 equal to the product (or pro rata share of the product, in the case of a
 member of a partnership) of ten percent and the amount of wages or sala-
 ries paid to individuals directly employed (excluding those employed  as
 writers, directors, music directors, producers and performers, including
 background actors with no scripted lines) by a qualified film production
 company  or a qualified independent film production company for services
 performed by those individuals in one of the counties specified in  this
 paragraph  in  connection with a qualified film with a minimum budget of
 five hundred thousand dollars. For purposes of this  additional  credit,
 the services must be performed in one or more of the following counties:
 Albany,  Allegany,  Broome,  Cattaraugus,  Cayuga,  Chautauqua, Chemung,
 Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Erie,  Essex,
 Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis,
 Livingston,  Madison,  Monroe,  Montgomery,  Niagara,  Oneida, Onondaga,
 Ontario, Orange, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Putnam, Rensselaer,  Saratoga,
 Schenectady,   Schoharie,   Schuyler,  Seneca,  St.  Lawrence,  Steuben,
 Suffolk, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren,  Washington,  Wayne,
 Wyoming,  or Yates. The aggregate amount of tax credits allowed pursuant
 to the authority of this paragraph shall be five  million  dollars  each
 year  during the period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nine-
 teen] TWENTY-TWO of the annual allocation made available to the  program
 pursuant  to  paragraph  four  of  subdivision (e) of this section. Such
 aggregate amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's  office
 for  motion  picture and television development among taxpayers in order
 of priority based upon the date of filing an application for  allocation
 of film production credit with such office. If the total amount of allo-
 cated  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the
 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year  is  less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual  allocation  made  available to the program pursuant to paragraph
 four of subdivision (e) of this section. However, in no  event  may  the
 total  of  the  credits  allocated  under this paragraph and the credits
 allocated under paragraph [five] SIX of subdivision (a) of section thir-
 ty-one of this article exceed five million dollars in  any  year  during
 the  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nineteen] TWENTY-
 TWO.
   § 2. Paragraph 4 of subdivision (e) of section 24 of the tax  law,  as
 amended  by  section 1-a of part P of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (4) Additional pool 2 - The aggregate amount of tax credits allowed in
 subdivision (a) of this section shall be increased by an additional four
 hundred twenty million dollars in each year starting in two thousand ten
 through two  thousand  [nineteen]  TWENTY-TWO  provided  however,  seven
 million  dollars  of  the  annual  allocation shall be available for the
 empire state film post production credit pursuant to section  thirty-one
 of  this  article in two thousand thirteen and two thousand fourteen and
 twenty-five million dollars of the annual allocation shall be  available

 S. 2009--B                         26

 for  the  empire  state  film post production credit pursuant to section
 thirty-one of this article in each year starting in two thousand fifteen
 through two thousand [nineteen] TWENTY-TWO. This amount shall  be  allo-
 cated  by the governor's office for motion picture and television devel-
 opment among taxpayers  in  accordance  with  subdivision  (a)  of  this
 section. If the commissioner of economic development determines that the
 aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional pool 2 for the
 empire  state film production tax credit have been previously allocated,
 and determines that the pending applications  from  eligible  applicants
 for the empire state film post production tax credit pursuant to section
 thirty-one  of  this  article  is insufficient to utilize the balance of
 unallocated empire state film post  production  tax  credits  from  such
 pool,  the  remainder,  after  such pending applications are considered,
 shall be made available for allocation in  the  empire  state  film  tax
 credit  pursuant  to  this  section,  subdivision  twenty of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (gg) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  Also,  if  the commissioner of economic development determines
 that the aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional  pool
 2  for the empire state film post production tax credit have been previ-
 ously allocated, and  determines  that  the  pending  applications  from
 eligible  applicants  for  the  empire  state film production tax credit
 pursuant to this section is insufficient to utilize the balance of unal-
 located film production tax credits from such pool, then all or part  of
 the  remainder, after such pending applications are considered, shall be
 made available for allocation for the empire state film post  production
 credit  pursuant  to this section, subdivision thirty-two of section two
 hundred ten-B and subsection (qq) of section six  hundred  six  of  this
 chapter.  The governor's office for motion picture and television devel-
 opment must notify taxpayers of their allocation year  and  include  the
 allocation  year on the certificate of tax credit. Taxpayers eligible to
 claim a credit must report the allocation year directly on their  empire
 state  film production credit tax form for each year a credit is claimed
 and include a copy of the certificate with their tax return. In the case
 of a qualified film that receives  funds  from  additional  pool  2,  no
 empire state film production credit shall be claimed before the later of
 the  taxable  year  the production of the qualified film is complete, or
 the taxable year immediately following the allocation year for which the
 film has been allocated credit  by  the  governor's  office  for  motion
 picture and television development.
   §  3.  Paragraph 6 of subdivision (a) of section 31 of the tax law, as
 amended by section 2 of part JJ of chapter 59 of the laws  of  2014,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   (6)  For  the  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nine-
 teen] TWENTY-TWO, in addition to the amount  of  credit  established  in
 paragraph  two  of  subdivision (a) of this section, a taxpayer shall be
 allowed a credit equal to the product (or pro rata share of the product,
 in the case of a member of a partnership) of ten percent and the  amount
 of  wages  or  salaries paid to individuals directly employed (excluding
 those employed as writers, directors,  music  directors,  producers  and
 performers,  including  background  actors  with  no scripted lines) for
 services performed by those individuals in one of the counties specified
 in this paragraph in connection with the post production work on a qual-
 ified film with a minimum budget of five hundred thousand dollars  at  a
 qualified post production facility in one of the counties listed in this
 paragraph.  For purposes of this additional credit, the services must be
 performed in one or more of the following  counties:  Albany,  Allegany,

 S. 2009--B                         27
 
 Broome,  Cattaraugus,  Cayuga,  Chautauqua,  Chemung, Chenango, Clinton,

 Niagara,  Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Schenecta-
 dy, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins,
 Wayne, Wyoming, or Yates. The aggregate amount of  tax  credits  allowed
 pursuant  to  the  authority  of  this  paragraph  shall be five million
 dollars each year during the period two  thousand  fifteen  through  two
 thousand  [nineteen]  TWENTY-TWO of the annual allocation made available
 to the empire state film post production credit  pursuant  to  paragraph
 four  of  subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. Such
 aggregate amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's  office
 for  motion  picture and television development among taxpayers in order
 of priority based upon the date of filing an application for  allocation
 of post production credit with such office. If the total amount of allo-
 cated  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the
 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year  is  less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual  allocation  for  two  thousand  seventeen  made available to the
 empire state film post production credit pursuant to paragraph  four  of
 subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. However, in no
 event may the total of the credits allocated under  this  paragraph  and
 the credits allocated under paragraph five of subdivision (a) of section
 twenty-four  of  this  article  exceed  five million dollars in any year
 during the period two thousand fifteen through two  thousand  [nineteen]
 TWENTY-TWO.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds it necessary to
 revise  a  decision of the tax appeals tribunal that disturbed the long-
 standing policy of the department of taxation and  finance  that  single
 member limited liability companies that are treated as disregarded enti-
 ties  for  federal  income  tax purposes also would be treated as disre-
 garded entities for purposes of determining eligibility of the owners of
 such entities for tax credits allowed  under  article  9,  9-A,  22,  32
 (prior  to  its  repeal)  or  33 of the tax law. The decision of the tax

 S. 2009--B                         28
 
 appeals tribunal, if allowed to stand, will result in the denial of  tax
 credits,  such  as  empire  zone  tax credits, to taxpayers who in prior
 years received those credits.
   §  2.  The  tax  law  is amended by adding a new section 43 to read as
 follows:
   § 43. SINGLE MEMBER LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES  AND  ELIGIBILITY  FOR
 TAX CREDITS. A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY THAT HAS A SINGLE MEMBER AND IS
 DISREGARDED  AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM ITS OWNER FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
 PURPOSES (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY SPECIAL RULES RELATED TO THE  IMPOSI-
 TION  OF  CERTAIN  FEDERAL  TAXES,  INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CERTAIN
 EMPLOYMENT AND EXCISE TAXES) SHALL BE DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY  SEPARATE
 FROM  ITS  OWNER FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT THE TAXPAYER
 THAT IS THE SINGLE MEMBER OF SUCH LIMITED  LIABILITY  COMPANY  SATISFIES
 THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY TAX CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE
 NINE,  NINE-A,  TWENTY-TWO  OR  THIRTY-THREE  OF THIS CHAPTER OR ALLOWED
 UNDER ARTICLE THIRTY-TWO OF THIS CHAPTER PRIOR TO  THE  REPEAL  OF  SUCH
 ARTICLE.  SUCH  REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY NECESSARY
 CERTIFICATION, EMPLOYMENT OR INVESTMENT THRESHOLDS, PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS,
 AND ANY TIME PERIOD FOR ELIGIBILITY, SHALL BE IMPOSED  ON  THE  TAXPAYER
 AND  THE  DETERMINATION  OF  WHETHER  OR NOT SUCH REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN
 SATISFIED AND THE COMPUTATION OF THE CREDIT SHALL  BE  MADE  BY  DEEMING
 SUCH  TAXPAYER AND SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY TO BE A SINGLE ENTITY.
 IF THE TAXPAYER IS THE SINGLE MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE LIMITED  LIABILITY
 COMPANY  THAT  IS  DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM ITS OWNER, THE
 DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR  ANY
 TAX  CREDIT  ALLOWED  UNDER  ARTICLE NINE, NINE-A, TWENTY-TWO OR THIRTY-
 THREE OF THIS CHAPTER OR ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE THIRTY-TWO OF THIS  CHAP-
 TER  PRIOR  TO  THE  REPEAL  OF SUCH ARTICLE HAVE BEEN SATISFIED AND THE
 COMPUTATION OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE MADE BY  DEEMING  SUCH  TAXPAYER  AND
 SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES TO BE A SINGLE ENTITY.  HOWEVER, IF THE
 TAXPAYER IS THE SINGLE MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
 THAT  ARE  EACH  SEPARATELY CERTIFIED UNDER THE EMPIRE ZONES PROGRAM, AS
 DEFINED UNDER ARTICLE EIGHTEEN-B  OF  THE  GENERAL  MUNICIPAL  LAW,  THE
 TAXPAYER  MAY  ELECT  TO HAVE EACH CERTIFIED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE TREATED
 SEPARATELY UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EMPIRE ZONES PROGRAM  BASED  ON
 THE  EFFECTIVE  DATE  OF  CERTIFICATION OF EACH SEPARATE BUSINESS ENTER-
 PRISE. IN SUCH INSTANCE, THE SEPARATE TREATMENT OF TWO OR MORE  BUSINESS
 ENTERPRISES  SHALL  BE  DETERMINED  BY AN ELECTION MADE BY THE TAXPAYER,
 WHICH ELECTION INCLUDES THE DATE OF CERTIFICATION OF THE BUSINESS ENTER-
 PRISE AND ITS INTENDED BENEFIT PERIOD. SUCH ELECTION SHALL APPLY TO  ALL
 TAXABLE  YEARS  FOR WHICH THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION FOR SEEKING A REFUND
 OR ASSESSING ADDITIONAL TAX IS STILL OPEN.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately;  provided  however,  that
 section  43  of  the tax law, as added by section two of this act, shall
 apply to all taxable years for which  the  statute  of  limitations  for
 seeking a refund or assessing additional tax is still open.

   § 1550. SHORT TITLE; PURPOSE OF TITLE. THIS TITLE SHALL BE  KNOWN  AND

 BY  DECLARES  THAT  THE  RAISING OF FUNDS FOR THE PROMOTION OF BONA FIDE
 CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC,  HEALTH,  RELIGIOUS  AND  PATRIOTIC
 CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, WHERE THE BENEFICIARIES ARE UNDETERMINED, IS IN
 THE  PUBLIC  INTEREST.  THE  LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT, AS CONDUCTED
 PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS TITLE,  GAMES  OF  CHANCE  WERE  THE
 SUBJECT  OF EXPLOITATION BY PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS, PROMOTERS AND COMMER-
 CIAL INTERESTS. IT IS HEREBY DECLARED TO BE THE POLICY OF  THE  LEGISLA-
 TURE  THAT  ALL  PHASES  OF THE SUPERVISION, LICENSING AND REGULATION OF
 GAMES OF CHANCE AND OF THE CONDUCT OF GAMES OF CHANCE SHOULD BE  CLOSELY
 CONTROLLED  AND  THAT THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING THERETO SHOULD
 BE STRICTLY CONSTRUED AND RIGIDLY ENFORCED; THAT THE CONDUCT OF THE GAME
 AND ALL  ATTENDANT  ACTIVITIES  SHOULD  BE  SO  REGULATED  AND  ADEQUATE
 CONTROLS SO INSTITUTED AS TO DISCOURAGE COMMERCIALIZATION OF GAMBLING IN
 ALL  ITS FORMS, INCLUDING THE RENTAL OF COMMERCIAL PREMISES FOR GAMES OF
 CHANCE, AND TO ENSURE A MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY  OF  THE  NET  PROCEEDS  OF
 GAMES  OF  CHANCE  EXCLUSIVELY  FOR APPLICATION TO THE WORTHY CAUSES AND
 UNDERTAKINGS SPECIFIED HEREIN; THAT  THE  ONLY  JUSTIFICATION  FOR  THIS
 TITLE  IS TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT SUCH WORTHY CAUSES AND UNDERTAKINGS, AND
 THAT THE MANDATE OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION NINE OF  ARTICLE  ONE  OF

 S. 2009--B                         55
 
 THE STATE CONSTITUTION, AS AMENDED, SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY RIGID REGU-
 LATIONS  TO  PREVENT  COMMERCIALIZED  GAMBLING, PREVENT PARTICIPATION BY
 CRIMINAL AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE ELEMENTS AND  PREVENT  THE  DIVERSION  OF
 FUNDS FROM THE PURPOSES HEREIN AUTHORIZED.
   §  1551.  LOCAL  OPTION.  SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE, AND
 PURSUANT TO THE DIRECTION CONTAINED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF  SECTION  NINE

 LOCAL LAW OR ORDINANCE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF SUCH VILLAGE  ADOPTS  A
 LOCAL  LAW  OR RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM AS PROVIDED
 IN ARTICLE NINE OF THE VILLAGE LAW AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF  LICENSES
 BY  THE  TOWN FOR GAMES OF CHANCE WITHIN SUCH VILLAGE. SUCH LOCAL LAW OR
 RESOLUTION MAY BE REPEALED ONLY BY A LOCAL LAW OR RESOLUTION THAT  SHALL
 ALSO  BE  SUBJECT TO A PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM, OR BY ENACTMENT OF A LOCAL
 LAW AUTHORIZING GAMES OF CHANCE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION  FIFTEEN  HUNDRED
 FIFTY-TWO OF THIS TITLE.
   §  1552.  LOCAL  LAWS  AND  ORDINANCES. 1. THE COMMON COUNCIL OR OTHER
 LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY OF ANY MUNICIPALITY MAY, EITHER BY LOCAL  LAW  OR
 ORDINANCE,  PROVIDE THAT IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY AUTHORIZED ORGANIZA-
 TION, UPON OBTAINING A LICENSE  THEREFOR  AS  HEREINAFTER  PROVIDED,  TO
 CONDUCT  GAMES  OF  CHANCE WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF SUCH MUNICI-
 PALITY, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH LOCAL LAW  OR  ORDINANCE,  THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE AND THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BY THE COMMISSION.
   2.  NO SUCH LOCAL LAW OR ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME OPERATIVE OR EFFECTIVE
 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT SHALL HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF THE  ELEC-
 TORS  VOTING ON A PROPOSITION SUBMITTED AT A GENERAL OR SPECIAL ELECTION
 HELD WITHIN SUCH MUNICIPALITY WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO VOTE FOR OFFICERS  OF

 UNDER  SUCH  LICENSES,  WHICH RULES AND REGULATIONS SHALL HAVE THE FORCE
 AND EFFECT OF LAW AND SHALL BE BINDING UPON ALL  MUNICIPALITIES  ISSUING
 LICENSES,  AND  UPON  LICENSEES  OF THE COMMISSION, TO THE END THAT SUCH
 LICENSES SHALL BE ISSUED TO QUALIFIED  LICENSEES  ONLY,  AND  THAT  SAID
 GAMES SHALL BE FAIRLY AND PROPERLY CONDUCTED FOR THE PURPOSES AND IN THE
 MANNER  OF  THE  SAID  GAMES  OF  CHANCE LICENSING LAW PRESCRIBED AND TO
 PREVENT THE GAMES OF CHANCE THEREBY  AUTHORIZED  TO  BE  CONDUCTED  FROM
 BEING  CONDUCTED  FOR  COMMERCIAL  PURPOSES OR PURPOSES OTHER THAN THOSE

 FORMULATE AND RECOMMEND CHANGES IN SUCH LAW AND IN  OTHER  LAWS  OF  THE
 STATE THAT THE COMMISSION MAY DETERMINE TO BE NECESSARY FOR THE REALIZA-

 racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by  section  1
 of  part  FF  of  chapter  60 of the laws of 2016, is amended to read as
 follows:
   (a) Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional  off-track
 betting  corporation,  authorized  to conduct pari-mutuel wagering under
 this chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on  which
 pari-mutuel  betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to the
 conditions provided for in this article may apply to the commission  for
 a  license  so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such form as
 may be prescribed by the commission and shall contain  such  information
 or  other material or evidence as the commission may require. No license
 shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
 of thoroughbred races from a track located in Suffolk  county.  The  fee
 for  such  licenses shall be five hundred dollars per simulcast facility
 and for account wagering licensees that do not operate either  a  simul-
 cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or
 a  licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per year
 payable by the licensee to the commission for deposit into  the  general
 fund.  Except  as  provided  in  this  section, the commission shall not
 approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
 residences, homes or other areas for the purposes of  or  in  connection
 with  pari-mutuel wagering. The commission may approve simulcasting into
 residences, homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one or  more
 regional  off-track  betting corporations and one or more of the follow-
 ing: a franchised corporation,  thoroughbred  racing  corporation  or  a
 harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcasting
 consists  only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is authorized

 contracting  off-track  betting  corporations which shall include wagers
 made in accordance with  section  one  thousand  fifteen,  one  thousand

 sixteen  and  one  thousand  seventeen of this article; provided further
 that the contract provisions or other simulcast  arrangements  for  such
 simulcast  facility  shall  be no less favorable than those in effect on
 January  first,  two  thousand  five;  (ii)  that each off-track betting
 corporation having within its  geographic  boundaries  such  residences,
 homes  or  other  areas  technically  capable of receiving the simulcast
 signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of  revenues
 shall  be  subject  to  contractual agreement of the parties except that
 statutory payments to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may  not  be
 reduced;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein to the contrary shall
 prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
 ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the commission. For
 purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one thousand thir-
 teen of this article shall  not  apply.  Any  agreement  authorizing  an
 in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior to May fifteenth, nine-
 teen hundred ninety-five, may, and all its terms, be extended until June
 thirtieth,  two  thousand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; provided, however, that
 any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such  agreement  upon
 conveying written notice to all other parties of such agreement at least
 forty-five  days  prior  to  the  effective date of the termination, via
 registered mail. Any party to an agreement receiving such notice  of  an
 intent  to  terminate, may request the commission to mediate between the
 parties new terms and conditions in a replacement agreement between  the
 parties  as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; and (iv) no in-home simul-
 casting in the thoroughbred special betting district shall occur without
 the approval of the regional thoroughbred track.
   § 2. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph d of  subdivision  3  of  section

 commencing January first, two thousand eight and continuing through June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN, the amount used exclusive-
 ly  for  purses to be awarded at races conducted by such receiving track
 shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
 percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
 in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions
 determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-
 ty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five  to the total commissions that
 would have been available to such  track  prior  to  July  twenty-first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-five.

 receives a vendor fee pursuant to clause (F) or (G) of this subparagraph
 be eligible for a vendor's capital award under this section.] Any opera-

 choosing to divest the capital improvement toward which  the  award  was
 applied,  prior  to  the full depreciation of the capital improvement in
 accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,  shall  reim-

 erty is partially used by the owner as a primary residence, that portion
 which  is  so  used  shall be entitled to the exemption provided by this
 section; provided that in  no  event  shall  the  exemption  exceed  the
 assessed value attributable to that portion.
   (b)  Primary  residence.  The property must serve as the primary resi-
 dence of one or more of the owners  thereof,  UNLESS  SUCH  PROPERTY  IS

 SION.
   (b-1) Income. For final assessment rolls to be used for  the  levy  of

 S. 2009--B                         93
 
 section. As used herein, the term "affiliated  income"  shall  mean  the
 combined income of all of the owners of the parcel who resided primarily
 thereon on the applicable taxable status date, and of any owners' spous-
 es  residing primarily thereon. For exemptions on final assessment rolls
 to be used for the levy of taxes for the two thousand  eleven-two  thou-
 sand  twelve  school  year,  affiliated income shall be determined based
 upon the parties' incomes for the income tax year ending in two thousand
 nine. In each subsequent school year, the  applicable  income  tax  year

 residence of one or more of the partners.
   (iii)  If  the  legal  title to the farm dwelling is held by a limited
 liability company, the exemption shall be granted if the property serves
 as the primary residence of one or more of the owners.
   (iv) Any information deemed necessary to establish shareholder,  part-
 ner  or owner status for eligibility purposes shall be considered confi-
 dential and exempt from the freedom of information law.
   (e) Dwellings owned by limited partnerships. (i) If legal title  to  a
 dwelling is held by a limited partnership, the exemption shall be grant-
 ed if the property serves as the primary residence of one or more of the
 partners, provided that the limited partnership which holds title to the
 property  does  not  engage in any commercial activity, that the limited
 partnership was lawfully created to hold title solely for  estate  plan-
 ning and asset protection purposes, and that the partner or partners who
 primarily  reside  thereon personally pay all of the real property taxes
 and other costs associated with the property's ownership.
   (ii) Any information deemed necessary to establish partner status  for
 eligibility  purposes  shall  be considered confidential and exempt from

   (i) The property shall be ineligible for  a  basic  or  enhanced  STAR
 exemption effective with the next school year commencing after the issu-
 ance  of  notice  by the department of the suspension of its eligibility
 for the STAR exemption, even if the notice was issued after the applica-
 ble taxable status date. If a STAR exemption has been granted to such  a
 property  on a tentative or final assessment roll, the assessor or other
 person having custody of that roll is hereby authorized and directed  to
 immediately remove that STAR exemption from the roll.
   (ii) Any challenge to the factual or legal basis behind the suspension
 of a property's eligibility for a STAR exemption pursuant to section one
 hundred seventy-one-y of the tax law must be presented to the department

 S. 2009--B                         94
 
 in  the  manner  prescribed  by  such section. Neither an assessor nor a
 board of assessment review has the authority to consider  such  a  chal-
 lenge.
   (iii)  The  property  shall  remain  ineligible for the STAR exemption
 until the department notifies the assessor that the  suspension  of  its
 eligibility has been lifted. Once the assessor has been so notified, the
 exemption  may be resumed on a prospective basis only, provided that the
 eligibility requirements of this section are otherwise satisfied.
   (iv) In the case of a cooperative apartment or mobile home receiving a
 STAR exemption pursuant to paragraph (k) or (l) of  subdivision  two  of
 this section, a suspension of a STAR exemption due to a taxpayer's past-
 due  state tax liabilities shall only apply to the STAR exemption on the
 cooperative apartment or mobile home owned, or deemed to  be  owned,  by
 that taxpayer.

 CAPTIVE RIC, THE AMOUNT PRESCRIBED BY THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE  DETERMINED
 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING TABLE:
 
 IF NEW YORK RECEIPTS ARE:                THE FIXED DOLLAR MINIMUM TAX IS:

   §  4.  The  opening  paragraph  of  paragraph  (a) of subdivision 5 of
 section 11-654.2 of the administrative code of the city of New York,  as

 amended to read as follows:
   A financial instrument is a "nonqualified financial instrument" if  it
 is  not  a qualified financial instrument. A qualified financial instru-
 ment means a financial instrument that is of a type described in any  of
 [clause]  CLAUSES  (i),  (ii),  (iii),  (iv),  (vii),  (viii) or (ix) of
 subparagraph two of this paragraph and that has been marked to market in
 the taxable year by the taxpayer under section 475 or  section  1256  of
 the  internal  revenue code. Further, if the taxpayer has in the taxable
 year marked to market a financial instrument of the  type  described  in
 any of [clause] CLAUSES (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of
 subparagraph two of this paragraph, then any financial instrument within
 that  type  described  in the above specified clause or clauses that has
 not been marked to market by the taxpayer under section 475  or  section
 1256 of the internal revenue code is a qualified financial instrument in
 the  taxable  year.  Notwithstanding  the two preceding sentences, (i) a
 loan secured by real property shall not be a qualified financial instru-
 ment, (ii) if the only loans that are marked to market by  the  taxpayer
 under section 475 or section 1256 of the internal revenue code are loans
 secured  by  real  property,  then no loans shall be qualified financial
 instruments, (iii) stock that is investment capital as defined in  para-
 graph (a) of subdivision four of section 11-652 of this subchapter shall
 not  be  a qualified financial instrument, and (iv) stock that generates
 other exempt income as defined in subdivision five-a of  section  11-652
 of this subchapter and that is not marked to market under section 475 or
 section  1256 of the internal revenue code shall not constitute a quali-
 fied financial instrument with respect to the  income  from  that  stock
 that  is  described  in  such  subdivision  five-a.  If a corporation is
 included in a combined report, the  definition  of  qualified  financial
 instrument  shall  be  determined on a combined basis.  IN THE CASE OF A
 RIC OR A REIT THAT IS NOT A CAPTIVE RIC OR A CAPTIVE REIT,  A  QUALIFIED
 FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENT  MEANS  A  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENT THAT IS OF A TYPE
 DESCRIBED IN ANY OF CLAUSES (I), (II), (III),  (IV),  (VII),  (VIII)  OR
 (IX)  OF  SUBPARAGRAPH  TWO  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH,  OTHER THAN (I) A LOAN
 SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY, (II)  STOCK  THAT  IS  INVESTMENT  CAPITAL  AS
 DEFINED  IN  PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION 11-652 OF THIS
 SUBCHAPTER, AND (III)  STOCK  THAT  GENERATES  OTHER  EXEMPT  INCOME  AS
 DEFINED  IN SUBDIVISION FIVE-A OF SECTION 11-652 OF THIS SUBCHAPTER WITH
 RESPECT TO THE INCOME FROM THAT STOCK THAT IS DESCRIBED IN SUCH SUBDIVI-
 SION FIVE-A.

   § 5. Clause (iv) of subparagraph 1 of paragraph (e) of  subdivision  1
 of section 11-654 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as
 added  by  section  1  of  part  D of chapter 60 of the laws of 2015, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (iv) If New York city receipts are:                  Fixed dollar minimum
                                                        tax is:
 Not more than $100,000                                 $25
 More than $100,000 but not over $250,000               $75
 More than $250,000 but not over $500,000               $175
 More than $500,000 but not over $1,000,000             $500
 More than $1,000,000 but not over $5,000,000           $1,500
 More than $5,000,000 but not over $25,000,000          $3,500

 Over $1,000,000,000                                    $200,000
   For  purposes  of this clause, New York city receipts are the receipts
 computed in accordance with section 11-654.2 of this subchapter for  the
 taxable year. If the taxable year is less than twelve months, the amount
 prescribed by this clause shall be reduced by twenty-five percent if the
 period  for which the taxpayer is subject to tax is more than six months
 but not more than nine months and by fifty percent  if  the  period  for
 which the taxpayer is subject to tax is not more than six months. If the
 taxable  year  is  less  than twelve months, the amount of New York city
 receipts for purposes of this  clause  is  determined  by  dividing  the
 amount  of  the receipts for the taxable year by the number of months in
 the taxable year and multiplying the result by twelve.
 PROVIDED HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF A REIT OR RIC THAT  IS  NOT  A  CAPTIVE
 REIT OR A CAPTIVE RIC, THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE SHALL APPLY:

 MIDDLE-INCOME BUILDING throughout the credit  period.  In  allocating  a
 dollar  amount of credit to any building, the commissioner shall specify
 the applicable percentage and the maximum qualified basis which  may  be
 taken into account under this article with respect to such building. The
 applicable  percentage and the maximum qualified basis with respect to a

 cable rate set forth in this paragraph and adding those products togeth-

   (3-a) Pensions  and  annuities  received  by  an  individual  who  has
 attained  the  age  of  fifty-nine  and one-half, not otherwise excluded
 pursuant to paragraph three of this subsection, to the extent includible
 in gross income for federal income tax purposes, but not  in  excess  of
 [twenty] TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING ON
 OR  AFTER  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN, THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND
 DOLLARS FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING ON OR AFTER  JANUARY  FIRST,  TWO
 THOUSAND  EIGHTEEN,  AND FORTY thousand dollars IN EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR,
 which are periodic payments attributable to personal services  performed
 by  such individual prior to his retirement from employment, which arise
 (i) from an employer-employee relationship or (ii) from contributions to
 a retirement plan which are deductible for federal income tax  purposes.
 PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THE  PENSION  AND ANNUITIES BY A MARRIED COUPLE WHO
 FILE JOINT TAX RETURNS SHALL BE DOUBLE THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS
 PARAGRAPH. However, the term "pensions and annuities" shall also include
 distributions received by an individual who  has  attained  the  age  of
 fifty-nine  and  one-half  from  an  individual retirement account or an
 individual retirement annuity, as defined in section four hundred  eight
 of  the internal revenue code, and distributions received by an individ-
 ual who has attained the age of fifty-nine and  one-half  from  self-em-
 ployed  individual  and  owner-employee  retirement  plans which qualify
 under section four hundred one of the internal revenue code, whether  or
 not  the  payments  are  periodic  in  nature.  Nevertheless,  the  term
 "pensions and annuities" shall not include any lump sum distribution, as
 defined in subparagraph (D) of  paragraph  four  of  subsection  (e)  of
 section  four  hundred  two of the internal revenue code and taxed under
 section six hundred three of this article. Where a husband and wife file
 a joint state personal income tax return, the modification provided  for
 in  this  paragraph  shall  be  computed as if they were filing separate
 state personal income tax returns. Where a payment would otherwise  come
 within  the meaning of the term "pensions and annuities" as set forth in

 S. 2009--B                         121
 
 this paragraph, except that such individual is  deceased,  such  payment
 shall,  nevertheless, be treated as a pension or annuity for purposes of
 this paragraph if such payment is received by such individual's  benefi-
 ciary.
   §  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
 have been in full force and effect on and after the first of January  of
 the year in which it shall have become a law.

 or  rates that were applied to that assessment roll. Interest shall then

 sor shall not implement the provisions of section five hundred twenty of

 provided, where applicable, that the age requirement  established  by  a
 municipal  corporation  pursuant  to  subdivision  five  of section four
 hundred sixty-seven of this article is satisfied, and no separate appli-
 cation need be filed therefor. [Provided, however, that  the  provisions
 of  this paragraph shall only apply where at least one of the applicants
 held title to the property on the taxable status date of the  assessment
 roll  that  was  used to levy school district taxes for the two thousand
 fifteen--two thousand sixteen school year and the property  was  granted
 an exemption pursuant to this section on such assessment roll.]

 of  taxation and finance shall assist localities in notifying the public
 of the provisions of this act and any action required  by  taxpayers  to

 ing subdivision 6 of section 425 of  the  real  property  tax  law,  for
 assessment  rolls  used to levy school district taxes for the 2018--2019
 school year, an application for an exemption under section  425  of  the
 real property tax law shall be filed with the local assessor by the last
 date on which a petition with respect to complaints of assessment may be
 filed  or  not  later  than the sixtieth day after the effective date of
 this act, whichever is later.  The assessor shall approve or  deny  such
 application  as  if  it  had  been filed on or before the taxable status
 date.  If the assessor determines that the property is eligible for  the
 exemption,  the  assessor  shall thereupon be authorized and directed to
 correct the assessment roll  accordingly,  or,  if  another  person  has
 custody or control of the assessment roll, to direct that person to make
 the appropriate corrections. If the correction is not made before school
 taxes  are levied, the failure to take the exemption into account in the
 computation of the tax shall be deemed a "clerical error"  for  purposes
 of  title 3 of article 5 of the real property tax law, or any comparable
 laws governing the correction of  administrative  errors  on  assessment
 rolls and tax rolls, and shall be corrected accordingly.

 S. 2009--B                         127
 
   Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  law  to  the contrary, the
 commissioner of taxation and finance shall no later  than  December  31,
 2017  notify  local  assessors  of  the name and address of any taxpayer
 within their assessing unit who qualified  for  the  school  tax  relief
 (STAR) credit pursuant to subsection (eee) of section 606 of the tax law
 for taxable year 2017, or has applied for a credit for taxable year 2018
 and  any additional information available that would assist the assessor
 in accurately  determining  the  property's  eligibility  for  the  STAR
 exemption  pursuant  to section 425 of the real property tax law. To the
 extent possible, the local assessor shall determine the  eligibility  of
 the  property  for the 2018--2019 school year using information provided
 by the commissioner of taxation and finance.  Taxpayers who received the
 STAR credit for the 2017--2018 school year, shall  not  be  required  to
 file an application for an exemption in order to receive an exemption on
 the  same property for the 2018--2019 school year; however, if a proper-
 ty's eligibility cannot be determined by using information  supplied  by
 the department of taxation and finance, the assessor may seek additional
 documentation  from  the  taxpayer to prove his or her eligibility. Such
 taxpayer shall have until the  last  date  on  which  a  petition,  with
 respect  to  complaints  of  assessment may be filed, to supply proof of
 eligibility, or thirty days of such request,  whichever  is  later.  The
 assessor shall mail notice of his or her determination to such owner. If
 the assessor determines that the property is eligible for the exemption,
 the  assessor  shall thereupon be authorized and directed to correct the
 assessment roll accordingly,  or,  if  another  person  has  custody  or
 control of the assessment roll, to direct that person to make the appro-
 priate  corrections.  If  the correction is not made before school taxes
 are levied, the failure to take the exemption into account in the compu-
 tation of the tax shall be deemed a "clerical  error"  for  purposes  of
 title  3  of  article  5 of the real property tax law, or any comparable
 laws governing the correction of  administrative  errors  on  assessment
 rolls  and tax rolls, and shall be corrected accordingly. Nothing within
 this act shall preclude a taxpayer from seeking administrative and judi-
 cial review of an assessor's denial of the exemption.
   § 11. This act shall take effect immediately.

   8. The requirements of section  ten  of  this  chapter  regarding  the
 provision  of  workers' compensation insurance as to owners and trainers
 governed by the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding  law  who  are
 employers  under  section  two  of this chapter are satisfied in full by
 compliance with the requirements imposed upon  owners  and  trainers  by
 section  two  hundred [thirteen-a] TWENTY-ONE of the racing, pari-mutuel
 wagering and breeding law, provided that in  the  event  double  compen-
 sation, death benefits, or awards are payable with respect to an injured
 employee  under section fourteen-a of this chapter, the owner or trainer

                                 PART FFFF
 
   Section 1. The  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and  breeding  law  is
 amended by adding a new article 15 to read as follows:
                                ARTICLE 15
                            INTERACTIVE GAMING
 SECTION 1500. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

 S. 2009--B                         171
 
         1501. DEFINITIONS.
         1502. AUTHORIZATION.
         1503. REQUIRED SAFEGUARDS/MINIMUM STANDARDS.
         1504. SCOPE OF LICENSING REVIEW.
         1505. STATE TAX.
         1506. DISPOSITION OF TAXES.
   § 1500. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS
 AND  DECLARES  THAT: 1. UNDER THE NEW YORK PENAL LAW A PERSON ENGAGES IN
 GAMBLING WHEN HE OR SHE STAKES OR RISKS  SOMETHING  OF  VALUE  UPON  THE
 OUTCOME  OF  A  CONTEST OF CHANCE OR A FUTURE CONTINGENT EVENT NOT UNDER
 HIS OR HER CONTROL OR INFLUENCE, UPON AN AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING THAT
 HE OR SHE WILL RECEIVE SOMETHING OF VALUE IN  THE  EVENT  OF  A  CERTAIN
 OUTCOME.
   2.  A CONTEST OF CHANCE IS DEFINED AS ANY CONTEST, GAME, GAMING SCHEME
 OR GAMING DEVICE IN WHICH THE OUTCOME DEPENDS IN A MATERIAL DEGREE  UPON
 AN  ELEMENT OF CHANCE, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT SKILL OF THE CONTESTANTS MAY
 ALSO BE A FACTOR THEREIN. (SUBDIVISION 1 OF SECTION 225.00 OF THE  PENAL
 LAW).  THUS,  GAMES OF CHANCE MAY INVOLVE SOME SKILL, BUT IN THOSE GAMES
 THE LEVEL OF SKILL DOES NOT DETERMINE  THE  OUTCOME  REGARDLESS  OF  THE
 DEGREE  OF  SKILL EMPLOYED. SEE PEOPLE V. TURNER, 165 MISC. 2D 222, 224,
 629 N.Y.S.2D 661, 662 (CRIM. CT. 1995).  ON  THE  OTHER  HAND,  WHERE  A
 CONTEST  PITS  THE  SKILL  LEVELS OF THE PLAYERS AGAINST EACH OTHER, NEW
 YORK COURTS HAVE FOUND A GAME TO BE ONE OF SKILL RATHER THAN CHANCE. SEE
 PEOPLE V. HUNT, 162 MISC. 2D 70, 72, 616 N.Y.S.2D 168,  170  (CRIM.  CT.
 1994)  ("PLAYED  FAIRLY, SKILL RATHER THAN CHANCE IS THE MATERIAL COMPO-
 NENT OF THREE-CARD MONTE.");
   3. POKER IN MANY INSTANCES HAS BEEN DEFINED AS A GAME OF SKILL  AND  A
 NEW  YORK FEDERAL COURT IN U.S. V. DICRISTINA, 886 F. SUPP. 2D 164, 224,
 ASSESSED THAT UNDER FEDERAL LAW POKER WAS PREDOMINANTLY A GAME OF SKILL;
   4. NEW YORK COURTS HAVE INTERPRETED NEW  YORK  LAW  TO  APPLY  A  MORE
 RIGOROUS  TEST  IN  IDENTIFYING A "CONTEST OF CHANCE" THAN IS APPLIED BY
 MOST STATES IN THIS NATION AND  THE  COURTS  HAVE  FOUND  THAT  WHERE  A
 CONTEST  PITS  THE SKILL LEVELS OF THE PLAYERS AGAINST EACH OTHER, THOSE
 GAMES ARE GAMES OF SKILL AND  NOT  GAMES  OF  CHANCE.  FURTHERMORE,  THE
 COURTS  HAVE  NOT  LIMITED  THE  LEGISLATURE'S ABILITY TO DETERMINE THAT
 CERTAIN FORMS OF POKER SHOULD FALL OUTSIDE  THE  GENERAL  DEFINITION  OF
 GAMBLING SINCE THOSE GAMES ARE GAMES OF SKILL;
   5.  TEXAS  HOLD'EM  POKER  INVOLVES  TWO CARDS DEALT FACE DOWN TO EACH
 PLAYER AND THEN FIVE COMMUNITY CARDS PLACED FACE-UP  BY  THE  DEALER,  A
 SERIES  OF  THREE, THEN TWO ADDITIONAL SINGLE CARDS, WITH PLAYERS DETER-
 MINING WHETHER TO CHECK, BET, RAISE  OR  FOLD  AFTER  EACH  DEAL.  OMAHA
 HOLD'EM  POKER  IS  A  SIMILAR  GAME, IN WHICH EACH PLAYER IS DEALT FOUR
 CARDS AND MAKES HIS OR HER BEST HAND USING EXACTLY  TWO  OF  THEM,  PLUS
 EXACTLY THREE OF THE FIVE COMMUNITY CARDS. THESE GAMES ARE CONSIDERED TO
 BE  COMPLEX  FORMS  OF POKER WHICH INVOLVE PLAYER STRATEGY AND DECISION-
 MAKING AND WHICH PIT THE SKILL LEVELS OF THE PLAYERS AGAINST EACH OTHER.
 AS GAMES OF SKILL, THESE FORMS OF POKER DO NOT FALL UNDER THE DEFINITION
 OF GAMBLING AS PROHIBITED BY THE PENAL LAW; AND
   6. THE LEGISLATURE FURTHER FINDS THAT AS THE INTERNET  HAS  BECOME  AN
 INTEGRAL  PART  OF  SOCIETY,  AND  INTERNET POKER A MAJOR FORM OF ENTER-
 TAINMENT FOR MANY CONSUMERS,  ANY  INTERACTIVE  GAMING  ENFORCEMENT  AND
 REGULATORY  STRUCTURE  MUST  BEGIN FROM THE BEDROCK PREMISE THAT PARTIC-
 IPATION IN A LAWFUL AND LICENSED GAMING INDUSTRY IS A PRIVILEGE AND  NOT
 A  RIGHT,  AND  THAT  REGULATORY  OVERSIGHT IS INTENDED TO SAFEGUARD THE
 INTEGRITY OF THE GAMES AND PARTICIPANTS AND TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY AND
 THE PUBLIC TRUST.

 PERMITTED TO VOTE ON MATTERS PUT TO THE VOTE OF THE OUTSTANDING SECURITY
 HOLDERS.  THE  COMMISSION  MAY  GRANT  SUCH A WAIVER TO AN INSTITUTIONAL

 FINANCING OF THE LICENSEE OR SIGNIFICANT VENDOR OR APPLICANT,  FAILS  TO
 COMPLY  WITH  THE  TERMS  OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SECTION, OR IF AT ANY
 TIME THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT, BY REASON OF THE EXTENT OR NATURE OF ITS
 HOLDINGS, AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR IS IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE SUCH  A
 SUBSTANTIAL  IMPACT  UPON  THE  CONTROLLING  INTERESTS  OF A LICENSEE OR
 SIGNIFICANT VENDOR OR APPLICANT THAT INVESTIGATION AND DETERMINATION  OF

   §  5. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the method
 of determining the amount to be deducted  and  withheld  from  wages  on
 account  of  taxes imposed by or pursuant to the authority of article 30
 of the tax law in connection with the implementation of  the  provisions
 of  this  act  shall  be  prescribed by the commissioner of taxation and
 finance with due consideration to the effect such withholding tables and
 methods would have on the receipt and amount of revenue. The commission-
 er of taxation and finance shall  adjust  such  withholding  tables  and
 methods  in  regard to taxable years beginning in 2017 and after in such
 manner as to result, so far  as  practicable,  in  withholding  from  an
 employee's  wages  an amount substantially equivalent to the tax reason-
 ably estimated to be due for such taxable  years  as  a  result  of  the
 provisions  of  this act. Provided, however, for tax year 2017 the with-
 holding tables shall reflect  as  accurately  as  practicable  the  full
 amount  of  tax  year  2017 liability so that such amount is withheld by
 December 31, 2017. In carrying out his or her  duties  and  responsibil-
 ities  under  this section, the commissioner of taxation and finance may
 prescribe a similar procedure with respect to the taxes required  to  be
 deducted  and  withheld  by  local  laws  imposing taxes pursuant to the
 authority of articles 30, 30-A and 30-B of the tax law,  the  provisions
 of  any  other  law  in  relation  to  such  a procedure to the contrary
 notwithstanding.
   § 6. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no addi-
 tion to tax shall be imposed for failure to pay  the  estimated  tax  in
 subsection  (c)  of  section  685  of the tax law and subdivision (c) of
 section 11-1785 of the administrative code of the city of New York  with
 respect  to  any underpayment of a required installment due prior to, or
 within thirty days of, the effective date of this act to the extent that
 such underpayment was created or increased by  the  amendments  made  by
 this  act, provided, however, that the taxpayer remits the amount of any
 underpayment prior to or with his or her next  quarterly  estimated  tax
 payment.
   2. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall take steps to publi-
 cize  the  necessary  adjustments  to  estimated  tax and, to the extent
 reasonably possible, to inform the taxpayer of the tax liability changes
 made by this act.
   § 7. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
 years beginning on and after January 1, 2017.

 authorize the collecting officers in one  or  more  of  the  classes  of
 municipal  corporations  described  herein]  EACH  COLLECTING OFFICER IS
 HEREBY AUTHORIZED to accept  from  any  taxpayer  at  any  time  partial

 OF A CITY OR TOWN THAT HAS ACTED TO ALLOW PARTIAL PAYMENTS, THE  GOVERN-
 ING  BODY  OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY PASS A RESOLUTION ALLOWING PARTIAL
 PAYMENTS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT PURPOSES. SUCH  RESOLUTION  MAY  LIMIT  THE
 CONDITIONS  UNDER WHICH PARTIAL PAYMENTS MAY BE ACCEPTED. WHERE A SCHOOL
 DISTRICT HAS PASSED A RESOLUTION  ALLOWING  PARTIAL  PAYMENTS,  AND  HAS
 PROVIDED A COPY TO THE COLLECTING OFFICER AT LEAST SIXTY DAYS BEFORE THE
 LAST  DATE SET BY LAW FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE TAX ROLL TO THE COLLECTING
 OFFICER, THE COLLECTING OFFICER SHALL BE AUTHORIZED  TO  ACCEPT  PARTIAL
 PAYMENTS  OF SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES UNDER THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE

 DIFFER FROM THOSE SET BY THE CITY OR TOWN, AND IN THE  JUDGMENT  OF  THE
 COLLECTING  OFFICER  IT  WOULD  BE  BURDENSOME  TO  ADMINISTER THEM, THE
 COLLECTING OFFICER MAY  NOTIFY  THE  SCHOOL  DISTRICT  THAT  THE  SCHOOL
 DISTRICT'S  CONDITIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE PROVIDED
 NO LATER THAN FIFTEEN DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE COLLECTING  OFFI-
 CER  RECEIVED  A  COPY  OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RESOLUTION, OR FORTY-FIVE
 DAYS BEFORE THE LAST DATE SET BY LAW FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE TAX ROLL TO
 THE COLLECTING OFFICER, WHICHEVER IS LATER.
   (II) WHERE SUCH NOTICE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, THE COLLECTING OFFICER SHALL
 BE AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES  UNDER
 THE  SAME  CONDITIONS  AS  MAY  APPLY  TO CITY OR TOWN TAXES, UNLESS THE
 SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTIFIES THE COLLECTING OFFICER THAT THE CITY OR  TOWN'S
 CONDITIONS  ARE  NOT  ACCEPTABLE. SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE PROVIDED NO LATER
 THAN FIFTEEN DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE SCHOOL  DISTRICT  RECEIVED
 THE  COLLECTING  OFFICER'S  NOTICE, OR THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THAT LAST DATE
 SET BY LAW FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE TAX ROLL TO THE  COLLECTING  OFFICER,
 WHICHEVER IS LATER.

 SHALL NOT BE AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENTS  OF  SCHOOL  DISTRICT
 TAXES.
   (D)  ANY  RESOLUTION ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION shall be adopted
 AT LEAST SIXTY DAYS prior to the preparation and  delivery  of  the  tax
 rolls  to  the appropriate collecting officers. A copy of any resolution
 [enacting, amending or  repealing  any  such  partial  payment  program]
 ADOPTED  PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, OR AMENDING OR REPEALING A RESOLUTION
 ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, shall be filed with  the  commissioner

 CITY OR TOWN CLERK, no later than thirty days after the adoption  there-
 of.

 es  of  municipal corporations: (a) all towns within the county; (b) all
 cities for which the county enforces the collection of delinquent taxes;
 or (c) all villages for which the  county  enforces  the  collection  of
 delinquent taxes. If the resolution does not specify the class or class-
 es  of municipal corporations to which it applies, it shall be deemed to
 apply only to the towns in the county.
   3.] After any partial payment authorized pursuant to this section  has
 been  paid,  interest  and penalties shall be charged against the unpaid
 balance only. The acceptance of a partial payment by any official pursu-
 ant to this section shall not be deemed to affect any liens  and  powers
 of  any  [county]  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION  conferred  in  any general or
 special act, but such rights and powers shall remain in full  force  and
 effect  to  enforce  collection of the unpaid balance of such tax or tax
 liens together with interest, penalties and other lawful charges.

 HER WARRANT, OR AT ANY OTHER TIME THAT SUCH COLLECTING  OFFICER  IS  NOT
 AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT TAX PAYMENTS.

 OFFICER TO ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF TAXES AUTHORIZED UNDER  ANY  OTHER
 GENERAL OR SPECIAL LAW.

 date immediately preceding the effective date of this  act,  the  former
 provisions  of  such  section  928-a  shall  remain in effect until such

 corporation in which such tenant-stockholder resides shall be subject to
 exemption from taxation pursuant to this section and  any  exemption  so
 granted  shall  be  credited by the appropriate taxing authority against
 the assessed valuation of such real property. Upon the completion of the
 final assessment roll, or as soon  thereafter  as  is  practicable,  the
 assessor shall forward to the cooperative apartment corporation a state-
 ment  setting  forth the exemption attributable to each eligible tenant-
 stockholder. The reduction in real property taxes attributable  to  each
 eligible  tenant-stockholder shall be credited by the cooperative apart-
 ment corporation against the amount of such taxes otherwise  payable  by
 or  chargeable  to  such  tenant-stockholder.  THE  ASSESSOR  SHALL ALSO

   (E) "Qualifying taxes" means  the  school  district  taxes  that  were
 levied  upon  the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal
 year that were actually paid by the taxpayer during  the  taxable  year;
 or,  in  the  case  of a city school district that is subject to article
 fifty-two of the education law, the combined city  and  school  district
 taxes  that  were  levied  upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the
 associated fiscal year that were actually paid by  the  taxpayer  during
 the  taxable  year. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN THE CASE OF A COOPERATIVE
 APARTMENT, "QUALIFYING TAXES" MEANS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES THAT WOULD
 HAVE BEEN LEVIED UPON THE TENANT-STOCKHOLDER'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE  IF  IT
 WERE SEPARATELY ASSESSED, AS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSIONER BASED ON THE
 STATEMENT  PROVIDED  BY  THE  ASSESSOR  PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF
 PARAGRAPH (K) OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE  OF
 THE  REAL  PROPERTY  TAX  LAW, OR IN THE CASE OF A COOPERATIVE APARTMENT
 CORPORATION THAT IS DESCRIBED IN SUBPARAGRAPH (IV) OF PARAGRAPH  (K)  OF

   (5)  For  the  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand [nine-

 paragraph  two of this subdivision, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
 equal to the product (or pro rata share of the product, in the case of a
 member of a partnership) of ten percent and the amount of wages or sala-
 ries paid to individuals directly employed (excluding those employed  as
 writers, directors, music directors, producers and performers, including
 background actors with no scripted lines) by a qualified film production
 company  or a qualified independent film production company for services
 performed by those individuals in one of the counties specified in  this
 paragraph  in  connection with a qualified film with a minimum budget of
 five hundred thousand dollars. For purposes of this  additional  credit,
 the services must be performed in one or more of the following counties:
 Albany,  Allegany,  Broome,  Cattaraugus,  Cayuga,  Chautauqua, Chemung,
 Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Erie,  Essex,

 Schenectady,   Schoharie,   Schuyler,  Seneca,  St.  Lawrence,  Steuben,
 [Suffolk,] Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, Washington, Wayne,

 to  the  authority  of this paragraph shall be five million dollars each
 year during the period two thousand fifteen through two thousand  [nine-
 teen]  TWENTY-TWO of the annual allocation made available to the program
 pursuant to paragraph four of subdivision  (e)  of  this  section.  Such
 aggregate  amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's office
 for motion picture and television development among taxpayers  in  order
 of  priority based upon the date of filing an application for allocation
 of film production credit with such office. If the total amount of allo-
 cated credits applied for under this paragraph in any year  exceeds  the
 aggregate  amount  of tax credits allowed for such year under this para-
 graph, such excess shall be treated as having been applied  for  on  the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied  for  under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year is less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual allocation made available to the program  pursuant  to  paragraph
 four  of  subdivision  (e) of this section. However, in no event may the
 total of the credits allocated under  this  paragraph  and  the  credits

 amended to read as follows:
   (4) Additional pool 2 - The aggregate amount of tax credits allowed in
 subdivision (a) of this section shall be increased by an additional four
 hundred twenty million dollars in each year starting in two thousand ten
 through  two  thousand  [nineteen]  TWENTY-TWO  provided  however, seven
 million dollars of the annual allocation  shall  be  available  for  the
 empire  state film post production credit pursuant to section thirty-one
 of this article in two thousand thirteen and two thousand  fourteen  and
 twenty-five  million dollars of the annual allocation shall be available
 for the empire state film post production  credit  pursuant  to  section
 thirty-one of this article in each year starting in two thousand fifteen
 through  two  thousand [nineteen] TWENTY-TWO. This amount shall be allo-
 cated by the governor's office for motion picture and television  devel-
 opment  among  taxpayers  in  accordance  with  subdivision  (a) of this
 section. If the commissioner of economic development determines that the
 aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional pool 2 for the
 empire state film production tax credit have been previously  allocated,
 and  determines  that  the pending applications from eligible applicants
 for the empire state film post production tax credit pursuant to section
 thirty-one of this article is insufficient to  utilize  the  balance  of
 unallocated  empire  state  film  post  production tax credits from such
 pool, the remainder, after such  pending  applications  are  considered,
 shall  be  made  available  for  allocation in the empire state film tax
 credit pursuant to this  section,  subdivision  twenty  of  section  two
 hundred  ten-B  and  subsection  (gg) of section six hundred six of this
 chapter. Also, if the commissioner of  economic  development  determines
 that  the aggregate amount of tax credits available from additional pool
 2 for the empire state film post production tax credit have been  previ-
 ously  allocated,  and  determines  that  the  pending applications from
 eligible applicants for the empire  state  film  production  tax  credit
 pursuant to this section is insufficient to utilize the balance of unal-
 located  film production tax credits from such pool, then all or part of
 the remainder, after such pending applications are considered, shall  be
 made  available for allocation for the empire state film post production
 credit pursuant to this section, subdivision thirty-two of  section  two
 hundred  ten-B  and  subsection  (qq) of section six hundred six of this
 chapter. The governor's office for motion picture and television  devel-
 opment  must  notify  taxpayers of their allocation year and include the
 allocation year on the certificate of tax credit. Taxpayers eligible  to
 claim  a credit must report the allocation year directly on their empire
 state film production credit tax form for each year a credit is  claimed
 and include a copy of the certificate with their tax return. In the case
 of  a  qualified  film  that  receives  funds from additional pool 2, no
 empire state film production credit shall be claimed before the later of
 the taxable year the production of the qualified film  is  complete,  or
 the taxable year immediately following the allocation year for which the
 film  has  been  allocated  credit  by  the governor's office for motion
 picture and television development.
   § 3. Paragraph 6 of subdivision (a) of section 31 of the tax  law,  as
 amended  by  section  2 of part JJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is

   (6) For the period two thousand fifteen through  two  thousand  [nine-
 teen]  TWENTY-TWO,  in  addition  to the amount of credit established in
 paragraph two of subdivision (a) of this section, a  taxpayer  shall  be
 allowed a credit equal to the product (or pro rata share of the product,
 in  the case of a member of a partnership) of ten percent and the amount
 of wages or salaries paid to individuals  directly  employed  (excluding
 those  employed  as  writers,  directors, music directors, producers and
 performers, including background actors  with  no  scripted  lines)  for
 services performed by those individuals in one of the counties specified
 in this paragraph in connection with the post production work on a qual-
 ified  film  with a minimum budget of five hundred thousand dollars at a
 qualified post production facility in one of the counties listed in this
 paragraph. For purposes of this additional credit, the services must  be
 performed  in  one  or more of the following counties: Albany, Allegany,
 Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayuga,  Chautauqua,  Chemung,  Chenango,  Clinton,
 Cortland,  Delaware,  Erie,  Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Hamilton,

 Niagara,  Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Schenecta-
 dy, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins,
 Wayne, Wyoming, or Yates. The aggregate amount of  tax  credits  allowed
 pursuant  to  the  authority  of  this  paragraph  shall be five million
 dollars each year during the period two  thousand  fifteen  through  two
 thousand  [nineteen]  TWENTY-TWO of the annual allocation made available
 to the empire state film post production credit  pursuant  to  paragraph
 four  of  subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. Such
 aggregate amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's  office
 for  motion  picture and television development among taxpayers in order
 of priority based upon the date of filing an application for  allocation
 of post production credit with such office. If the total amount of allo-
 cated  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the
 aggregate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  para-
 graph,  such  excess  shall be treated as having been applied for on the
 first day of the next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits
 applied for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year  is  less
 than five million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part of the
 annual  allocation  for  two  thousand  seventeen  made available to the
 empire state film post production credit pursuant to paragraph  four  of
 subdivision  (e)  of section twenty-four of this article. However, in no
 event may the total of the credits allocated under  this  paragraph  and
 the credits allocated under paragraph five of subdivision (a) of section
 twenty-four  of  this  article  exceed  five million dollars in any year
 during the period two thousand fifteen through two  thousand  [nineteen]
 TWENTY-TWO.

 exchange  or  board of trade, is allowed a credit under this subdivision
 if the property is used by  its  affiliated  regulated  broker,  dealer,
 registered  investment advisor, national securities exchange or board of
 trade  in  accordance with this subdivision. For purposes of determining
 if the property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by  the
 taxpayer  described  in  clauses (D) and (E) of this subparagraph may be
 aggregated. In addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated  regu-
 lated  broker,  dealer and registered investment advisor under either or
 both of those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however,  a  taxpayer
 shall  not be allowed the credit provided by clauses (D), (E) and (F) of
 this subparagraph unless the property is first placed in service  before
 October  first,  two  thousand fifteen and (i) eighty percent or more of
 the  employees  performing  the  administrative  and  support  functions
 resulting  from  or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are
 located in this state or (ii)  the  average  number  of  employees  that
 perform  the  administrative  and  support  functions  resulting from or
 related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this
 state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed  is  equal

 the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the cred-
 it  is  claimed,  or (iii) the number of employees located in this state
 during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal  to  or
 greater  than  ninety percent of the number of employees located in this
 state on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the
 taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpayer in  nineteen  hundred  ninety-
 eight,  the  last  day  of  its first taxable year ending after December
 thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight.  If  the  taxpayer  becomes
 subject  to  tax in this state after the taxable year beginning in nine-
 teen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is not required to  satisfy
 the  employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subpara-
 graph for its first taxable year. For purposes of clause (iii)  of  this
 subparagraph  the employment test will be based on the number of employ-
 ees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year  the
 taxpayer  is  subject  to tax in this state. If the uses of the property
 must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used
 in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the  property  must
 satisfy  this  employment test or this employment test must be satisfied
 through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated
 regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment  adviser  using  the
 property.  For purposes of [this subdivision, the term "goods" shall not
 include electricity] CLAUSE (A) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, TANGIBLE  PERSONAL
 PROPERTY  AND OTHER TANGIBLE PROPERTY SHALL NOT INCLUDE PROPERTY PRINCI-
 PALLY USED BY THE TAXPAYER IN THE PRODUCTION OR  DISTRIBUTION  OF  ELEC-

 used in the ordinary course of  the  taxpayer's  trade  or  business  of
 providing investment advisory services for a regulated investment compa-
 ny as defined in section eight hundred fifty-one of the Internal Revenue
 Code,  or  lending,  loan  arrangement  or  loan origination services to
 customers in connection with the purchase or sale (which  shall  include
 but  not  be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset,

 section  four  hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,
 or (vi) principally used as a qualified film production facility includ-
 ing qualified film production facilities having a  situs  in  an  empire
 zone  designated  as  such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general
 municipal law, where the taxpayer is providing three or more services to
 any qualified film production company using the facility, including such
 services as a studio lighting grid, lighting and grip equipment,  multi-
 line  phone service, broadband information technology access, industrial
 scale electrical capacity, food services, security services,  and  heat-
 ing,  ventilation and air conditioning. For purposes of clauses (iv) and
 (v) of this subparagraph, property purchased by  a  taxpayer  affiliated
 with  a  regulated  broker,  dealer, or registered investment adviser is
 allowed a credit under this subsection if the property is  used  by  its
 affiliated  regulated broker, dealer or registered investment adviser in
 accordance with this subsection. For  purposes  of  determining  if  the
 property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpay-
 er  described in clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph may be aggre-
 gated. In addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its  affiliated  regulated
 broker, dealer and registered investment adviser under either or both of
 those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not
 be  allowed the credit provided by clauses (iv) and (v) of this subpara-
 graph unless (I) eighty percent or more of the employees performing  the
 administrative  and  support  functions resulting from or related to the
 qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state, or (II) the
 average number of employees that perform the administrative and  support
 functions  resulting  from  or  related  to  the qualifying uses of such
 equipment and are located in this state  during  the  taxable  year  for
 which  the  credit  is  claimed  is equal to or greater than ninety-five
 percent of the average number of employees that perform these  functions
 and  are  located in this state during the thirty-six months immediately
 preceding the year for which the credit is claimed, or (III) the  number
 of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the
 credit  is  claimed  is  equal  to or greater than ninety percent of the
 number of employees located in  this  state  on  December  thirty-first,
 nineteen  hundred  ninety-eight  or,  if the taxpayer was not a calendar
 year taxpayer in nineteen hundred ninety-eight,  the  last  day  of  its
 first  taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred

 ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after
 the taxable year beginning in nineteen hundred  ninety-eight,  then  the
 taxpayer  is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in the
 preceding  sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year. For
 the purposes of clause (III) of this subparagraph  the  employment  test
 will  be  based  on the number of employees located in this state on the
 last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is  subject  to  tax  in
 this  state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine
 whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either
 each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment  test  or
 this  employment  test  must be satisfied through the aggregation of the
 employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer,  and
 registered  investment adviser using the property. For purposes of [this
 subsection, the term "goods" shall not include electricity]  CLAUSE  (I)

                                  PART Q
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds it necessary to
 revise  a  decision of the tax appeals tribunal that disturbed the long-
 standing policy of the department of taxation and  finance  that  single
 member limited liability companies that are treated as disregarded enti-
 ties  for  federal  income  tax purposes also would be treated as disre-
 garded entities for purposes of determining eligibility of the owners of
 such entities for tax credits allowed  under  article  9,  9-A,  22,  32
 (prior  to  its  repeal)  or  33 of the tax law. The decision of the tax
 appeals tribunal, if allowed to stand, will result in the denial of  tax
 credits,  such  as  empire  zone  tax credits, to taxpayers who in prior
 years received those credits.
   § 2. The tax law is amended by adding a new  section  43  to  read  as
 follows:
   §  43.  SINGLE  MEMBER LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES AND ELIGIBILITY FOR
 TAX CREDITS. A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY THAT HAS A SINGLE MEMBER AND IS
 DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM ITS OWNER FOR FEDERAL INCOME  TAX
 PURPOSES  (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY SPECIAL RULES RELATED TO THE IMPOSI-
 TION OF CERTAIN FEDERAL TAXES, INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO  CERTAIN
 EMPLOYMENT  AND EXCISE TAXES) SHALL BE DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE
 FROM ITS OWNER FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT  THE  TAXPAYER
 THAT  IS  THE  SINGLE MEMBER OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY SATISFIES
 THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY TAX CREDIT ALLOWED UNDER ARTICLE
 NINE, NINE-A, TWENTY-TWO OR THIRTY-THREE  OF  THIS  CHAPTER  OR  ALLOWED
 UNDER  ARTICLE  THIRTY-TWO  OF  THIS CHAPTER PRIOR TO THE REPEAL OF SUCH
 ARTICLE. SUCH REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  ANY  NECESSARY
 CERTIFICATION, EMPLOYMENT OR INVESTMENT THRESHOLDS, PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS,
 AND  ANY  TIME  PERIOD FOR ELIGIBILITY, SHALL BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER
 AND THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR  NOT  SUCH  REQUIREMENTS  HAVE  BEEN
 SATISFIED  AND  THE  COMPUTATION  OF THE CREDIT SHALL BE MADE BY DEEMING
 SUCH TAXPAYER AND SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY TO BE A SINGLE  ENTITY.
 IF  THE TAXPAYER IS THE SINGLE MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE LIMITED LIABILITY
 COMPANY THAT IS DISREGARDED AS AN ENTITY SEPARATE FROM  ITS  OWNER,  THE
 DETERMINATION  OF WHETHER OR NOT THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY

 COMPUTATION  OF  THE  CREDIT  SHALL BE MADE BY DEEMING SUCH TAXPAYER AND
 SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES TO BE A SINGLE ENTITY.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately;  provided  however,  that
 section  43  of  the tax law, as added by section two of this act, shall
 apply to all taxable years for which  the  statute  of  limitations  for
 seeking a refund or assessing additional tax is still open.

 corporation,  S  corporation,  or non-publicly traded C corporation with
 one hundred or fewer shareholders (hereinafter the "entity")  that  owns
 real  property  that is located in New York [and has a fair market value
 that] OR OWNS SHARES OF STOCK IN A COOPERATIVE HOUSING CORPORATION WHERE
 THE COOPERATIVE UNITS RELATING TO THE SHARES ARE LOCATED  IN  NEW  YORK;

 COOPERATIVE SHARES, AND RELATED  COOPERATIVE  UNITS  equals  or  exceeds

 exchange of the taxpayer's interest in the entity.   Only  those  assets
 that the entity owned for at least two years before the date of the sale
 or  exchange  of the taxpayer's interest in the entity are to be used in

 subject to the provisions of this subparagraph is the total gain or loss
 for federal income tax purposes from that sale or exchange multiplied by
 a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of the  real
 property,  AND  THE  COOPERATIVE  HOUSING  CORPORATION STOCK AND RELATED
 COOPERATIVE UNITS located in New York on the date of  sale  or  exchange
 and  the denominator of which is the fair market value of all the assets
 of the entity on the date of sale or exchange.

 THE YEAR OF THE SURPLUS.  FIFTY PERCENT OF ANY SURPLUS IN  SUCH  ACCOUNT
 AS OF MARCH THIRTY-FIRST OF EACH YEAR, NOT TO EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
 THE  ADDITIONAL  START  FEES  IN  THAT YEAR, SHALL BE USED TO REDUCE THE
 ADDITIONAL PER START FEE IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. SUCH REDUCTION SHALL  BE
 CALCULATED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ADDITIONAL PER START FEE.
   6. NOT LATER THAN MAY FIRST, EACH YEAR, THE COMMISSION SHALL SUBMIT TO
 THE  DIRECTOR  OF  THE BUDGET, THE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND
 THE SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY A REPORT ON THE  REVENUE  GENERATED  BY  THE

 standards,  the  franchise  oversight board may recommend that the fran-
 chise agreement be terminated. The franchise oversight board shall refer

 ment with the franchised corporation;

 ing  board]  COMMISSION  to,  pursuant  to  article one of this chapter,
 determine and enforce compliance  by  the  franchised  corporation  with
 terms  of racing laws and regulations. Such oversight shall include, but

   § 3. Subparagraph (i) of paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of section 238
 of  the  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and breeding law, as amended by
 section 2 of part BB of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016,  is  amended  to
 read as follows:

 S. 2009--C                         72                         A. 3009--C
 
   (i)  The  pari-mutuel  tax  rate  authorized  by paragraph (a) of this
 subdivision shall be effective so long as a franchised corporation noti-
 fies the gaming commission by August fifteenth of each  year  that  such
 pari-mutuel  tax rate is effective of its intent to conduct a race meet-
 ing at Aqueduct racetrack during the months of December, January, Febru-
 ary,  March  and April. For purposes of this paragraph such race meeting
 shall consist of not less than ninety-five days of racing UNLESS  OTHER-
 WISE  AGREED  TO  IN WRITING BY THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS INC.,
 THE NEW YORK THOROUGHBRED HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATION (OR SUCH  OTHER  ENTITY
 AS  IS  CERTIFIED  AND  APPROVED PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-
 EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE) AND APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.  Not  later  than
 May  first of each year that such pari-mutuel tax rate is effective, the
 gaming commission shall determine whether a  race  meeting  at  Aqueduct
 racetrack consisted of the number of days as required by this paragraph.
 In  determining  the  number  of  race  days, cancellation of a race day
 because of an act of God that the gaming commission approves or  because
 of  weather  conditions  that  are  unsafe or hazardous which the gaming
 commission approves shall not be construed as a  failure  to  conduct  a
 race  day.  Additionally,  cancellation of a race day because of circum-
 stances beyond the control of such franchised corporation for which  the
 gaming  commission gives approval shall not be construed as a failure to
 conduct a race day. If the gaming commission determines that the  number
 of  days  of racing as required by this paragraph have not occurred then
 the pari-mutuel tax rate in paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  shall
 revert  to  the  pari-mutuel tax rates in effect prior to January first,
 nineteen hundred ninety-five.
   § 4. This act shall take effect April 1, 2017; provided, however, that
 section one of this act shall take effect  upon  the  appointment  of  a
 majority  of  board members; provided, further, that the state franchise
 oversight board shall notify the legislative  bill  drafting  commission
 upon  the  occurrence  of such appointments in order that the commission
 may maintain an accurate and timely effective data base of the  official
 text of the laws of the state of New York in furtherance of effectuating
 the  provisions of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b of
 the public officers law; provided further that the amendments to section
 212 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law made by section
 two of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be
 deemed repealed therewith.

   Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision  1  of  section  1003  of  the
 racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering and breeding law, as amended by section 1
 of part FF of chapter 60 of the laws of 2016,  is  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   (a)  Any  racing  association  or  corporation  or  regional off-track
 betting corporation, authorized to conduct  pari-mutuel  wagering  under
 this  chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on which
 pari-mutuel betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to  the
 conditions  provided for in this article may apply to the commission for
 a license so to do. Applications for licenses shall be in such  form  as
 may  be  prescribed by the commission and shall contain such information
 or other material or evidence as the commission may require. No  license
 shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
 of  thoroughbred  races  from a track located in Suffolk county. The fee
 for such licenses shall be five hundred dollars per  simulcast  facility

 S. 2009--C                         73                         A. 3009--C
 
 and  for  account wagering licensees that do not operate either a simul-
 cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or
 a licensed racetrack within the state, twenty thousand dollars per  year
 payable  by  the licensee to the commission for deposit into the general
 fund. Except as provided in  this  section,  the  commission  shall  not
 approve any application to conduct simulcasting into individual or group
 residences,  homes  or  other areas for the purposes of or in connection
 with pari-mutuel wagering. The commission may approve simulcasting  into
 residences,  homes or other areas to be conducted jointly by one or more
 regional off-track betting corporations and one or more of  the  follow-
 ing:  a  franchised  corporation,  thoroughbred  racing corporation or a
 harness racing corporation or association; provided (i) the simulcasting
 consists only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is  authorized
 by  this  chapter  at  one  or more simulcast facilities for each of the
 contracting off-track betting corporations which  shall  include  wagers
 made  in  accordance  with  section  one  thousand fifteen, one thousand
 sixteen and one thousand seventeen of  this  article;  provided  further
 that  the  contract  provisions or other simulcast arrangements for such
 simulcast facility shall be no less favorable than those  in  effect  on
 January  first,  two  thousand  five;  (ii)  that each off-track betting
 corporation having within its  geographic  boundaries  such  residences,
 homes  or  other  areas  technically  capable of receiving the simulcast
 signal shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of  revenues
 shall  be  subject  to  contractual agreement of the parties except that
 statutory payments to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may  not  be
 reduced;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein to the contrary shall
 prevent a track from televising its races on an irregular basis primari-
 ly for promotional or marketing purposes as found by the commission. For
 purposes of this paragraph, the provisions of section one thousand thir-
 teen of this article shall  not  apply.  Any  agreement  authorizing  an
 in-home simulcasting experiment commencing prior to May fifteenth, nine-
 teen hundred ninety-five, may, and all its terms, be extended until June
 thirtieth,  two  thousand  [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; provided, however, that
 any party to such agreement may elect to terminate such  agreement  upon
 conveying written notice to all other parties of such agreement at least
 forty-five  days  prior  to  the  effective date of the termination, via
 registered mail. Any party to an agreement receiving such notice  of  an
 intent  to  terminate, may request the commission to mediate between the
 parties new terms and conditions in a replacement agreement between  the
 parties  as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN; and (iv) no in-home simul-
 casting in the thoroughbred special betting district shall occur without
 the approval of the regional thoroughbred track.
   § 2. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph d of  subdivision  3  of  section

 county on races received from a franchised corporation, for  the  period
 commencing January first, two thousand eight and continuing through June
 thirtieth, two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN, the amount used exclusive-
 ly  for  purses to be awarded at races conducted by such receiving track
 shall be computed as follows: of the sums so retained, two and  one-half
 percent  of the total pools. Such amount shall be increased or decreased
 in the amount of fifty percent of the difference  in  total  commissions
 determined by comparing the total commissions available after July twen-

 S. 2009--C                         74                         A. 3009--C

   §  2. Subdivision 7 of section 221 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering

   7. In order to pay the costs of the insurance required by this section
 and  by  the workers' compensation law and to carry out its other powers
 and duties and to pay for any of its  liabilities  under  section  four-
 teen-a  of  the  workers'  compensation  law, the New York Jockey Injury
 Compensation Fund, Inc. shall ascertain the total funding necessary  and
 establish  the  sums  that  are  to  be  paid by all owners and trainers
 licensed or required to be licensed under section two hundred twenty  of
 this  article,  to obtain the total funding amount required annually. In
 order to provide that any sum required to be paid by an owner or trainer
 is equitable, the fund shall establish payment schedules  which  reflect
 such  factors  as  are  appropriate,  including  where  applicable,  the
 geographic location of the racing corporation  at  which  the  owner  or
 trainer  participates, the duration of such participation, the amount of
 any purse earnings, the number of horses involved, or such other factors
 as the fund shall determine to be fair, equitable and in the best inter-
 ests of racing. In no event shall the amount deducted  from  an  owner's
 share  of purses exceed two per centum; provided, however, for two thou-
 sand [sixteen] SEVENTEEN the New York Jockey Injury  Compensation  Fund,
 Inc.    may  use  up to two million dollars from the account established
 pursuant to subdivision nine of section two hundred eight of this  arti-
 cle  to pay the annual costs required by this section and the funds from
 such account shall not count  against  the  two  per  centum  of  purses
 deducted  from  an  owner's share of purses. The amount deducted from an
 owner's share of purses shall not exceed  one  per  centum  after  April
 first,  two thousand [seventeen] TWENTY. In the cases of multiple owner-
 ships and limited racing appearances, the fund  shall  equitably  adjust
 the sum required.
   The  [state  racing  and wagering board] GAMING COMMISSION shall, as a
 condition of racing, require any racing corporation or any  quarterhorse
 racing  association  or  corporation  authorized  under  this chapter to
 conduct pari-mutuel betting at a race meeting or races run  thereat,  to
 require  that  each trainer utilizing the facilities of such association
 or corporation and each owner racing a horse shall place or have  placed
 on  deposit with the horsemen's bookkeeper of such racing association or
 corporation, an amount to be established and paid  in  a  manner  to  be
 determined by the fund.
   Should  the fund determine that the amount which has been collected in
 the manner prescribed is inadequate to pay the annual costs required  by
 this  section,  it  shall  notify  the [state racing and wagering board]
 GAMING COMMISSION of the deficiency and the amount of the additional sum
 or sums necessary to be paid by each owner and/or trainer  in  order  to
 cover  such  deficiency.  The  [state  racing and wagering board] GAMING
 COMMISSION shall, as an  additional  condition  of  racing,  direct  any
 racing corporation or any quarterhorse racing association or corporation
 authorized  under  this chapter to conduct pari-mutuel betting at a race
 meeting or races run thereat, to require each trainer and owner to place
 such additional sum or sums on deposit with  the  respective  horsemen's
 bookkeeper.
   All  amounts  collected  by  a  horsemen's bookkeeper pursuant to this
 section shall be transferred to the fund created under this section  and
 shall  be  used  by the fund to purchase workers' compensation insurance
 for jockeys, apprentice jockeys and exercise persons  licensed  pursuant

   IN  THE EVENT THE FUND ELECTS, WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE GAMING COMMIS-
 SION,  TO  SECURE  WORKERS'  COMPENSATION  INSURANCE  FOR  EMPLOYEES  OF
 LICENSED TRAINERS OR OWNERS, THE FUND MAY ELECT TO HAVE THE SUM REQUIRED

   Section 1. Subsection (eee) of section 606 of the tax law  is  amended
 by adding a new paragraph 13 to read as follows:
   (13) (A) NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE THE COMMISSION-
 ER FROM MAKING A PRELIMINARY ADVANCE PAYMENT OF THE CREDIT BASED UPON AN
 ESTIMATE  OF  THE  STAR  TAX  SAVINGS  APPLICABLE  TO  A SCHOOL DISTRICT
 PORTION, WHERE HE OR SHE FINDS THAT ATTEMPTING TO ASCERTAIN  THE  ACTUAL
 STAR  TAX  SAVINGS APPLICABLE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PORTION WOULD JEOP-
 ARDIZE THE TIMELY ISSUANCE OF THE PAYMENT. WHEN MAKING SUCH AN ESTIMATE,
 THE COMMISSIONER SHALL CONSIDER THE STAR TAX SAVINGS APPLICABLE  IN  THE
 SCHOOL  DISTRICT  FISCAL  YEAR PRECEDING THE ASSOCIATED FISCAL YEAR, THE
 ALLOWABLE LEVY GROWTH FACTOR APPLICABLE TO THE CALCULATION  OF  THE  TAX
 LEVY  LIMIT  FOR  THE  ASSOCIATED FISCAL YEAR PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH A OF
 SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-THREE-A OF THE  EDUCATION
 LAW,  TAXABLE  ASSESSED VALUE WHERE APPROPRIATE, AND SUCH OTHER INFORMA-
 TION THAT IN HIS OR HER JUDGMENT WILL HELP MAKE THE ESTIMATE AS ACCURATE
 AS POSSIBLE.
   (B) NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED  TO  PRECLUDE  THE  COMMISSIONER
 FROM MAKING A PRELIMINARY ADVANCE PAYMENT OF THE CREDIT WITHOUT ATTEMPT-
 ING  TO ASCERTAIN THE TAXPAYER'S QUALIFYING TAXES, WHERE HE OR SHE FINDS
 THAT ATTEMPTING TO ASCERTAIN THE TAXPAYER'S QUALIFYING TAXES WOULD JEOP-
 ARDIZE THE TIMELY ISSUANCE OF THE PAYMENT.
   (C) IF THE COMMISSIONER DETERMINES THAT A TAXPAYER RECEIVED A PRELIMI-
 NARY ADVANCE PAYMENT THAT IS ABOVE OR BELOW THE ADVANCE PAYMENT TO WHICH
 HE OR SHE WAS ENTITLED UNDER THIS  SUBSECTION,  THE  COMMISSIONER  SHALL
 PROVIDE  NOTICE  TO  SUCH  TAXPAYER THAT THE NEXT ADVANCE PAYMENT DUE TO
 SUCH TAXPAYER UNDER THIS SUBSECTION SHALL BE ADJUSTED TO RECONCILE  SUCH
 UNDERPAYMENT  OR  OVERPAYMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL
 PERMIT A TAXPAYER  TO  REQUEST  THAT  SUCH  ADJUSTMENT  BE  MADE  ON  AN
 ORIGINALLY FILED TIMELY INCOME TAX RETURN FOR THE TAX YEAR IN WHICH SUCH
 OVERPAYMENT  OR  UNDERPAYMENT OCCURRED, PROVIDED SUCH RETURN IS FILED ON
 OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR SUCH RETURN,  DETERMINED  WITHOUT  REGARD  TO
 EXTENSIONS.

 the  year  the  credit  is allowed] THE DATE SPECIFIED BELOW, or as soon
 thereafter as is practicable; PROVIDED THAT IF SUCH  PAYMENT  IS  ISSUED
 AFTER  SUCH DATE, IT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO INTEREST AT THE RATE PRESCRIBED
 BY SUBPARAGRAPH (A) OF PARAGRAPH TWO OF SUBSECTION (J)  OF  SECTION  SIX
 HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN OF THIS ARTICLE.  Nothing contained herein shall be
 deemed to preclude the commissioner from issuing payments after [Septem-
 ber  thirtieth] SUCH DATE to qualified taxpayers whose applications were
 made after July first of that year, or such later date as may have  been
 prescribed by the commissioner for such purpose.
   (I) THE APPLICABLE DATES FOR THIS PURPOSE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

 ERLY CALCULATE THE CREDIT, OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS IS PRACTICABLE.

 the county director of real property tax services, and  the  authorities
 of  the school district, who shall cause a statement to be placed on the
 tax bill for the parcel in substantially the following  form:  ["A  STAR
 check  of  $      will  be  mailed  to  you upon issuance by the NYS Tax
 Department".  The commissioner shall advise such officials of the amount
 to be entered therein.] "AN ESTIMATED STAR CHECK WILL BE MAILED  TO  YOU
 UPON ISSUANCE BY THE NYS TAX DEPARTMENT. ANY OVERPAYMENT OR UNDERPAYMENT
 CAN BE RECONCILED ON YOUR NEXT TAX RETURN OR STAR CREDIT CHECK."
   Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law to the contrary, in the event
 that the parcel in question had been granted a  STAR  exemption  on  the
 assessment  roll upon which school district taxes are to be levied, such
 exemption shall be deemed null and  void,  shall  be  removed  from  the
 assessment  roll, and shall be disregarded when the parcel's tax liabil-
 ity is determined. The assessor or other  local  official  or  officials
 having  custody  and  control  of  the data file used to generate school
 district tax rolls and tax bills shall be  authorized  and  directed  to
 change  such file as necessary to enable the school district authorities
 to discharge the duties imposed upon them by this subdivision.

 IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
   (I) THE SCHEDULE REQUIRED BY THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE REVIEWED  SEMIAN-

 PRICES  FOR  MOTOR FUEL AND DIESEL MOTOR FUEL IN SUCH REGION BY A NUMBER
 THAT IS EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE AVERAGE LOCAL SALES TAX RATE IN  SUCH
 REGION AND ADDING TO THE PRODUCT THEREOF THE TAXES IMPOSED BY PARAGRAPHS
 ONE AND TWO OF SUBDIVISION (M) OF THIS SECTION.

 RATE IS LESS THAN THE RATE THEN IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE THE RATE  BECOMES
 EFFECTIVE  (A) A REGISTERED DISTRIBUTOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO A CREDIT IN
 AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF THE PREPAID  TAX
 PAID  OR  INCURRED  BY HIM OR HER WITH RESPECT TO MOTOR FUEL WHICH HE OR

 services, and energy and insurance purchasing cooperatives; reduction in
 back   office   administrative  overhead;  and  better  coordination  of
 services.
   b. The chief executive officer of the county shall submit such proper-
 ty tax savings plan to the county legislative body no later than  August
 first,  two  thousand seventeen. Such property tax savings plan shall be

 budget, with any necessary requirements to receive such  matching  fund-
 ing.  Savings that are actually and demonstrably realized by the partic-
 ipating local governments are eligible for matching funding. For actions
 that  are a part of an approved plan finalized in 2017, savings from new
 actions implemented on or after January 1, 2018 are eligible for  match-
 ing  funding.  For actions that are a part of an approved plan finalized
 in 2017, savings achieved from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018
 are eligible for matching funding. For actions that are  a  part  of  an
 approved plan finalized in 2018, savings from new actions implemented on

 funding.  Only  net  savings  between  local governments for each action
 would be eligible for matching funding. Savings from internal  efficien-
 cies  or  any  other  actions  taken  by  a local government without the
 participation of another local government are not eligible for  matching
 funding.  Each county and all of the local governments within the county
 that are part of any action to be implemented as part  of  the  approved
 plan  must  collectively apply for the matching funding and agree on the
 distribution and use of any matching funding in  order  to  qualify  for
 matching funding.

 ty  tax savings plan is, by any other general or special law, subject to

 remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
 sentence, paragraph,  subdivision,  section  or  part  thereof  directly
 involved  in  the  controversy  in  which  such judgment shall have been
 rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that
 this act would have been enacted if such invalid provisions had not been
 included herein.

 wireless communications service provided to  a  wireless  communications
 customer  with  a  place  of primary use in this state is imposed at the
 rate of one dollar and twenty cents per month on each wireless  communi-
 cations  device  in service during any part of each month. The surcharge
 must be reflected and made payable on bills  rendered  to  the  wireless
 communications customer for wireless communication service.
   (2) A SURCHARGE IS IMPOSED ON THE RETAIL SALE OF EACH PREPAID WIRELESS
 COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE, WHETHER OR NOT ANY TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IS

 DOES NOT TAKE PLACE AT THE SELLER'S  PLACE  OF  BUSINESS,  IT  SHALL  BE
 CONCLUSIVELY  DETERMINED  TO  TAKE  PLACE  AT  THE  PURCHASER'S SHIPPING
 ADDRESS OR, IF THERE IS NO ITEM  SHIPPED,  AT  THE  PURCHASER'S  BILLING

 LOCATION  AT THE TIME OF THE SALE OF THE PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
 SERVICE.
   (b) [Each wireless communications service supplier providing  wireless
 communications  service in New York state must act as a collection agent
 for the state for the collection of the surcharge. The wireless communi-
 cations  service  supplier  has  no  legal  obligation  to  enforce  the
 collection  of  the surcharge from its customers. However, each wireless
 communications service supplier must collect and  retain  the  name  and
 address  of any wireless communications customer with a place of primary
 use in this state that refuses or fails to pay the surcharge, as well as
 the cumulative amount  of  the  surcharge  remaining  unpaid,  and  must
 provide  this  information to the commissioner at the time and according
 to  the  procedures  the  commissioner  may  provide.]  The  [surcharge]
 SURCHARGES  must be reported and paid to the commissioner on a quarterly
 basis on or before the [fifteenth] TWENTIETH day of the month  following

 S. 2009--C                         136                        A. 3009--C

 and November, respectively. The payments must be accompanied by a return
 in  the  form  and  containing  the  information  the  commissioner  may
 prescribe.
   (c)  The  [surcharge] SURCHARGES must be added as a separate line item
 to bills furnished by a wireless communications service supplier to  its
 customers,  OR  MUST  BE  ADDED AS A SEPARATE LINE ITEM TO A SALES SLIP,
 INVOICE, RECEIPT, OR OTHER STATEMENT OF  THE  PRICE,  IF  ANY,  THAT  IS
 FURNISHED  BY  A  PREPAID WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SELLER TO A PURCHASER,
 and must be identified as the "public safety communications  surcharge".
 [Each  wireless communications customer who is subject to the provisions
 of this section remains liable to the state for the surcharge due  under
 this section until it has been paid to the state, except that payment to
 a  wireless communications service supplier is sufficient to relieve the
 customer from further liability for the surcharge.]
   (d) Each wireless communications service supplier AND PREPAID WIRELESS
 COMMUNICATIONS SELLER is entitled to retain, as an  administrative  fee,
 an  amount  equal to [two] THREE percent of fifty-eight and three-tenths
 percent of the total collections of the [surcharge]  SURCHARGES  imposed
 by this section, provided that the supplier OR SELLER files any required
 return and remits the surcharge due to the commissioner on or before its
 due date.
   3.  [Applicability  of  article  twenty-seven. For purposes of article
 twenty-seven of this chapter as applied to this section by  section  two
 hundred  seven-b of this article, the term "taxpayer" in article twenty-
 seven refers to a wireless communications service  supplier  subject  to
 this  section  or  a  wireless  communications  customer subject to this
 section, as the case may be, and the term "tax" in article  twenty-seven

 Provided, however, that the trustees may authorize the presidents of the
 colleges of technology and the colleges of agriculture and technology to
 set differing rates of tuition for each of  the  colleges  for  students
 enrolled  in degree-granting programs leading to an associate degree and
 non-degree granting programs so long  as  such  tuition  rate  does  not
 exceed  the  tuition  rate  charged to students who are enrolled in like
 degree programs or degree-granting undergraduate programs leading  to  a
 baccalaureate  degree  at other state-operated institutions of the state
 university of New York. Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
 subparagraph, the trustees may authorize the setting of a separate cate-
 gory  of  tuition  rate, that shall be greater than the tuition rate for
 resident students and  less  than  the  tuition  rate  for  non-resident

 determined  and  calculated  by  the  New  York  state  higher education
 services corporation pursuant to section six  hundred  eighty-nine-a  of
 this  title, shall be applied toward the tuition charged for each semes-
 ter, quarter or term of study. Tuition for  each  semester,  quarter  or

                                 PART NNN
 
   Section  1.  This  act enacts into law components of legislation which
 are necessary to implement legislation relating to workers' compensation
 and insurance. Each component is wholly contained within a Subpart iden-
 tified as Subparts A through J. The effective date for  each  particular
 provision contained within such Subpart is set forth in the last section
 of  such  Subpart.  Any  provision  in  any  section  contained within a
 Subpart, including the effective date of  the  Subpart,  which  makes  a
 reference  to a section "of this act", when used in connection with that
 particular component, shall be deemed to mean and refer  to  the  corre-
 sponding  section  of the Subpart in which it is found. Section three of
 this act sets forth the general effective date of this act.
 
                                 SUBPART A
 
   Section 1. Paragraph w of subdivision 3 of section 15 of the  workers'
 compensation  law,  as  amended  by  chapter  6  of the laws of 2007, is
 amended to read as follows:
   w. Other cases. In all other cases of  permanent  partial  disability,
 the  compensation  shall  be  sixty-six  and  two-thirds  percent of the
 difference between the injured employee's average weekly wages  and  his
 or her wage-earning capacity thereafter in the same employment or other-
 wise.    Compensation  under  this paragraph shall be payable during the
 continuance of such permanent partial disability, WITHOUT THE  NECESSITY
 FOR  THE CLAIMANT WHO IS ENTITLED TO BENEFITS AT THE TIME OF CLASSIFICA-
 TION TO DEMONSTRATE ONGOING ATTACHMENT TO THE LABOR MARKET, but  subject
 to  reconsideration of the degree of such impairment by the board on its

 S. 2009--C                         157                        A. 3009--C
 
 own motion or upon application of any party  in  interest  however,  all
 compensation  payable  under  this  paragraph  shall not exceed (i) five
 hundred twenty-five weeks in cases in which  the  loss  of  wage-earning
 capacity is greater than ninety-five percent; (ii) five hundred weeks in
 cases  in which the loss of wage-earning capacity is greater than ninety
 percent but not more than ninety-five percent; (iii) four hundred seven-
 ty-five weeks in cases in which the loss  of  wage-earning  capacity  is
 greater  than eighty-five percent but not more than ninety percent; (iv)
 four hundred fifty weeks in cases in  which  the  loss  of  wage-earning
 capacity  is  greater  than eighty percent but not more than eighty-five
 percent; (v) four hundred twenty-five weeks in cases in which  the  loss
 of  wage-earning  capacity  is greater than seventy-five percent but not
 more than eighty percent; (vi) four hundred weeks in cases in which  the
 loss  of  wage-earning  capacity is greater than seventy percent but not
 more than seventy-five percent; (vii) three hundred  seventy-five  weeks
 in  cases  in  which  the  loss of wage-earning capacity is greater than
 sixty percent but not more than seventy percent;  (viii)  three  hundred
 fifty  weeks  in  cases  in  which  the loss of wage-earning capacity is
 greater than fifty percent but not more than sixty percent;  (ix)  three
 hundred  weeks  in  cases  in which the loss of wage-earning capacity is
 greater than forty percent but not more  than  fifty  percent;  (x)  two
 hundred  seventy-five  weeks  in cases in which the loss of wage-earning
 capacity is greater than thirty percent but not more than forty percent;
 (xi) two hundred fifty weeks in cases in which the loss of  wage-earning
 capacity  is  greater  than  fifteen  percent  but  not more than thirty
 percent; and (xii) two hundred twenty-five weeks in cases in  which  the
 loss  of wage-earning capacity is fifteen percent or less.  FOR A CLAIM-
 ANT WITH A DATE OF ACCIDENT OR DISABLEMENT AFTER THE EFFECTIVE  DATE  OF
 THE  CHAPTER  OF  THE  LAWS  OF TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THAT AMENDED THIS
 SUBDIVISION, WHERE THE CARRIER OR  EMPLOYER  HAS  PROVIDED  COMPENSATION
 PURSUANT  TO  SUBDIVISION FIVE OF THIS SECTION BEYOND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY
 WEEKS FROM THE DATE OF ACCIDENT OR DISABLEMENT, ALL SUBSEQUENT WEEKS  IN
 WHICH  COMPENSATION WAS PAID SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE BENEFIT WEEKS FOR
 PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, WITH THE CARRIER OR EMPLOYER RECEIVING  CREDIT
 FOR  ALL  SUCH  SUBSEQUENT  WEEKS  AGAINST THE AMOUNT OF MAXIMUM BENEFIT
 WEEKS WHEN PERMANENT PARTIAL DISABILITY UNDER  THIS  SECTION  IS  DETER-
 MINED.  IN THE EVENT OF PAYMENT FOR INTERMITTENT TEMPORARY PARTIAL DISA-
 BILITY PAID AFTER ONE HUNDRED THIRTY WEEKS FROM THE DATE OF ACCIDENT  OR
 DISABLEMENT,  SUCH TIME SHALL BE REDUCED TO A NUMBER OF WEEKS, FOR WHICH
 THE CARRIER WILL RECEIVE A CREDIT AGAINST  THE  MAXIMUM  BENEFIT  WEEKS.
 FOR  A  CLAIMANT WITH A DATE OF ACCIDENT OR DISABLEMENT AFTER THE EFFEC-
 TIVE DATE OF THE CHAPTER OF THE LAWS  OF  TWO  THOUSAND  SEVENTEEN  THAT
 AMENDED  THIS  SUBDIVISION,  WHEN PERMANENCY IS AT ISSUE, AND A CLAIMANT
 HAS SUBMITTED MEDICAL EVIDENCE THAT HE OR SHE IS NOT AT MAXIMUM  MEDICAL
 IMPROVEMENT, AND THE CARRIER HAS PRODUCED OR HAS HAD A REASONABLE OPPOR-
 TUNITY  TO PRODUCE AN INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATION CONCERNING MAXIMUM
 MEDICAL IMPROVEMENT, AND THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE  CLAIMANT  IS
 NOT  YET AT MAXIMUM MEDICAL IMPROVEMENT, THE CARRIER SHALL NOT RECEIVE A
 CREDIT FOR BENEFIT WEEKS PRIOR  TO  A  FINDING  THAT  THE  CLAIMANT  HAS
 REACHED  MAXIMUM  MEDICAL  IMPROVEMENT,  AT WHICH TIME THE CARRIER SHALL
 RECEIVE CREDIT FOR ANY WEEKS OF TEMPORARY DISABILITY  PAID  TO  CLAIMANT
 AFTER  SUCH FINDING AGAINST THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT WEEKS AWARDED UNDER THIS
 SUBDIVISION. For those claimants  classified  as  permanently  partially
 disabled  who  no  longer  receive  indemnity payments because they have
 surpassed  their  number  of  maximum  benefit  weeks,   the   following
 provisions will apply:

 S. 2009--C                         158                        A. 3009--C
 
   (1)  There  will be a presumption that medical services shall continue
 notwithstanding the completion of the time period for  compensation  set
 forth  in this section and the burden of going forward and the burden of
 proof will lie with the carrier, self-insured employer or  state  insur-
 ance  fund in any application before the board to discontinue or suspend
 such services. Medical services will continue during the pendency of any
 such application and any appeals thereto.
   (2) The board is directed to promulgate regulations that establish  an
 independent  review  and  appeal  by  an  outside agent or entity of the
 board's choosing of any  administrative  law  judge's  determination  to
 discontinue  or suspend medical services before a final determination of
 the board.
   § 2. Subdivisions 3 and 4 of section 35 of the  workers'  compensation
 law, as added by chapter 6 of the laws of 2007, the opening paragraph of
 subdivision  4 as further amended by section 104 of part A of chapter 62
 of the laws of 2011, are amended to read as follows:
   3. Extreme hardship redetermination. In cases where the loss of  wage-
 earning capacity is greater than [eighty] SEVENTY-FIVE percent, a claim-
 ant  may  request,  within the year prior to the scheduled exhaustion of
 indemnity benefits under paragraph w of  subdivision  three  of  section
 fifteen  of  this  article,  that  the  board reclassify the claimant to
 permanent total disability or total industrial disability due to factors
 reflecting extreme hardship.
   4. Annual safety net reporting. The [commissioner of labor] BOARD,  in
 conjunction  with  the [board] COMMISSIONER OF LABOR and the superinten-
 dent of financial services, shall track  all  claimants  who  have  been
 awarded  permanent  partial  disability  status  and  report annually on
 December first, beginning in two thousand eight, to  the  governor,  the
 speaker  of  the  assembly,  the  majority leader of the senate, and the
 chairs of the labor, ways and means and finance committees of the assem-
 bly and senate:
   (i) The number of said claimants who have:
   (1) returned to gainful employment;
   (2) been recategorized as being totally industrially disabled;
   (3) remain subject to duration limitations set forth in paragraph w of
 subdivision three of section fifteen of this article; and
   (4) not returned to work, and whose indemnity payments have expired.
   (ii) The additional steps the commissioner contemplates are  necessary
 to  minimize the number of workers who have neither returned to work nor
 been recategorized from permanent partial disability.
   § 3. Section 23 of  the  workers'  compensation  law,  as  amended  by
 section  10  of part GG of chapter 57 of the laws of 2013, is amended to
 read as follows:
   § 23. Appeals. An award or decision of the board shall  be  final  and
 conclusive  upon  all  questions within its jurisdiction, as against the
 state fund or between the parties, unless reversed or modified on appeal
 therefrom as hereinafter provided. Any  party  may  within  thirty  days
 after  notice  of  the filing of an award or decision of a referee, file
 with the board an application in writing for a modification  or  rescis-
 sion  or  review of such award or decision, as provided in this chapter.
 The board shall render its decision upon such application in writing and
 shall include in such decision a statement of the facts which formed the
 basis of its action on the issues raised before it on such  application.
 Within  thirty  days after notice of the decision of the board upon such
 application has been served upon the  parties,  or  within  thirty  days
 after notice of an administrative redetermination review decision by the

 S. 2009--C                         159                        A. 3009--C
 
 chair  pursuant  to  subdivision  five of section fifty-two, section one
 hundred thirty-one or section one hundred forty-one-a  of  this  chapter
 has been served upon any party in interest, an appeal may be taken ther-
 efrom  to the appellate division of the supreme court, third department,
 by any party in interest, including an employer  insured  in  the  state
 fund;  provided,  however,  that any party in interest may within thirty
 days after notice of the filing of the board panel's decision  with  the
 secretary  of  the board, make application in writing for review thereof
 by the full board. If the decision or determination was that of a  panel
 of the board and there was a dissent from such decision or determination
 other  than a dissent the sole basis of which is to refer the case to an
 impartial specialist, OR IF THERE WAS A DECISION OR DETERMINATION BY THE
 PANEL WHICH REDUCED THE LOSS OF WAGE EARNING CAPACITY FINDING MADE BY  A
 COMPENSATION  CLAIMS  REFEREE  PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH W OF SUBDIVISION
 THREE OF SECTION FIFTEEN OF THIS ARTICLE FROM A PERCENTAGE AT  OR  ABOVE
 THE  PERCENTAGE SET FORTH IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION THIRTY-FIVE OF
 THIS ARTICLE WHEREBY A CLAIMANT  WOULD  BE  ELIGIBLE  TO  APPLY  FOR  AN
 EXTREME  HARDSHIP  REDETERMINATION  TO A PERCENTAGE BELOW THE THRESHOLD,
 the full board shall review and affirm, modify or rescind such  decision
 or  determination  in  the  same  manner as herein above provided for an
 award or decision of a referee.  If the decision  or  determination  was
 that of a unanimous panel of the board, or there was a dissent from such
 decision  or  determination the sole basis of which is to refer the case
 to an impartial specialist, the board may in its sole discretion  review
 and affirm, modify or rescind such decision or determination in the same
 manner  as  herein above provided for an award or decision of a referee.
 Failure to apply for review by the full board shall not bar any party in
 interest from taking an appeal directly to the court as above  provided.
 The board may also, in its discretion certify to such appellate division
 of  the  supreme  court, questions of law involved in its decision. Such
 appeals and the question so certified shall be heard in a summary manner
 and shall have precedence over all other civil cases in such court.  The
 board  shall  be  deemed  a party to every such appeal from its decision
 upon such application, and the chair shall be deemed a  party  to  every
 such  appeal  from  an  administrative  redetermination  review decision
 pursuant to subdivision five of section fifty-two of this  chapter.  The
 attorney  general  shall  represent  the board and the chair thereon. An
 appeal may also be taken to the court of appeals in the same manner  and
 subject  to  the  same  limitations  not inconsistent herewith as is now
 provided in the civil practice law and rules. It shall not be  necessary
 to  file exceptions to the rulings of the board. An appeal to the appel-
 late division of the supreme court, third department, or to the court of
 appeals, shall not operate as a stay  of  the  payment  of  compensation
 required by the terms of the award or of the payment of the cost of such
 medical,  dental,  surgical,  optometric or other attendance, treatment,
 devices, apparatus or other necessary items the employer is required  to
 provide  pursuant to section thirteen of this article which are found to
 be fair and reasonable. Where such award is modified or  rescinded  upon
 appeal,  the appellant shall be entitled to reimbursement in a sum equal
 to the compensation in dispute paid to the respondent in addition  to  a
 sum  equal  to the cost of such medical, dental, surgical, optometric or
 other attendance, treatment, devices, apparatus or other necessary items
 the employer is required to provide pursuant to section thirteen of this
 article paid by the appellant pending adjudication of the  appeal.  Such
 reimbursement  shall be paid from administration expenses as provided in
 section one hundred fifty-one of this chapter upon audit and warrant  of

 S. 2009--C                         160                        A. 3009--C
 
 the comptroller upon vouchers approved by the chair. Where such award is
 subject  to  the provisions of section twenty-seven of this article, the
 appellant shall pay directly to the  claimant  all  compensation  as  it
 becomes due during the pendency of the appeal, and upon affirmance shall
 be  entitled  to credit for such payments. Neither the chair, the board,
 the commissioners of the state insurance fund nor the claimant shall  be
 required  to  file  a  bond upon an appeal to the court of appeals. Upon
 final determination of such an appeal, the board or chair, as  the  case
 may  be, shall enter an order in accordance therewith. Whenever a notice
 of appeal is served or an application made to the board by the  employer
 or  insurance  carrier  for a modification or rescission or review of an
 award or decision, and the board shall find that such notice  of  appeal
 was served or such application was made for the purpose of delay or upon
 frivolous  grounds,  the  board  shall impose a penalty in the amount of
 five hundred dollars upon  the  employer  or  insurance  carrier,  which
 penalty shall be added to the compensation and paid to the claimant. The
 penalties  provided  herein shall be collected in like manner as compen-
 sation. A party against whom an award of compensation shall be made  may
 appeal  from  a  part  of such award. In such a case the payment of such
 part of the award as is not appealed from shall not prejudice any rights
 of such party on appeal, nor be  taken  as  an  admission  against  such
 party.  Any appeal by an employer from an administrative redetermination
 review decision pursuant to subdivision five  of  section  fifty-two  of
 this  chapter  shall  in  no  way serve to relieve the employer from the
 obligation to timely pay compensation and benefits otherwise payable  in
 accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
   Nothing  contained  in  this section shall be construed to inhibit the
 continuing jurisdiction of the board as provided in section one  hundred
 twenty-three of this chapter.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

   Section  1.  Paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 25 of the work-
 ers' compensation law, as amended by chapter 635 of the laws of 1996, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (a) In case the employer decides to controvert the  right  to  compen-

 whichever period is the greater, file a notice with the chair, on a form
 prescribed by the chair, that compensation is not being paid, giving the

   (G) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS CHAPTER, THE CHAIR MAY
 BY  REGULATION  ELECT TO ESTABLISH A PERFORMANCE STANDARD CONCERNING THE
 SUBJECT OF ANY PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT PROVISION APPLICABLE TO  AN  INSUR-
 ANCE  CARRIER OR SELF-INSURED EMPLOYER, WHERE SUCH PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT
 IS REMITTABLE TO THE NEW YORK STATE  TREASURY,  OR  CHAIR,  BUT  NOT  TO
 CLAIMANTS  OR  ANY  OTHER  PAYEE OR FUND, AND IMPOSE A SINGLE PENALTY OR
 ASSESSMENT UPON THE FAILURE TO  MEET  THAT  PROMULGATED  STANDARD,  WITH
 NOTICE  TO  THE CARRIER OR SELF-INSURED EMPLOYER. THE PENALTY OR ASSESS-
 MENT IMPOSED IN THE AGGREGATE SHALL BE PAYABLE TO THE CHAIR. SUCH AGGRE-
 GATE PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT SHALL BE BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF  VIOLATIONS
 AS  MULTIPLIED  AGAINST THE APPLICABLE PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT, BUT MAY BE
 NEGOTIATED BY THE CHAIR'S DESIGNEE IN FULL SATISFACTION OF  THE  PENALTY
 OR  ASSESSMENT.  A  FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CHAIR'S DESIGNEE AND THE
 CARRIER OR SELF-INSURED EMPLOYER MAY BE SUBMITTED AND  APPROVED  SUBJECT
 TO  SECTION  THIRTY-TWO OF THIS ARTICLE, WITHOUT NOTICE TO ANY CLAIMANT.
 ANY AGGREGATE PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT ISSUED HEREIN SHALL BE ISSUED ADMIN-
 ISTRATIVELY, AND THE BOARD, AND THE CHAIR MAY,  BY  REGULATION,  SPECIFY
 THE METHOD OF REVIEW OR REDETERMINATION, AND THE PRESENTMENT OF EVIDENCE
 AND OBJECTIONS SHALL OCCUR SOLELY UPON THE DOCUMENTATION. THE CARRIER OR
 SELF-INSURED  EMPLOYER  SHALL  RECEIVE CREDIT FOR ANY INSTANCES IN WHICH
 THE AGGREGATE PENALTY OR ASSESSMENT IS INCLUSIVE OF A PENALTY OR ASSESS-
 MENT PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AND PAID IN AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIM OR PROCEEDING.  A
 FINAL  DETERMINATION  IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW UNDER SECTION TWENTY-THREE OF
 THIS ARTICLE, EXCEPT THAT NO STAY IN PAYMENT OF THE PENALTY  OR  ASSESS-
 MENT  SHALL APPLY PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE APPLICATION FOR ADMINISTRA-
 TIVE REVIEW. FAILURE TO PAY THE FINALLY DETERMINED  PENALTY  OR  ASSESS-
 MENT,  OR  THE  PENALTY  OR  ASSESSMENT  AGREED UPON PURSUANT TO SECTION
 THIRTY-TWO OF THIS ARTICLE, WITHIN TEN DAYS OF FILING, SHALL  RESULT  IN
 THE IMPOSITION OF A TWENTY-PERCENT PENALTY, PAYABLE TO THE CHAIR. IN THE
 EVENT  OF THE CARRIER OR SELF-INSURED EMPLOYER INSTITUTING OR CONTINUING
 AN ISSUE WITHOUT REASONABLE GROUNDS, THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISION THREE
 OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN-A OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL  BE  APPLICABLE.
 AGGREGATE PENALTIES SHALL BE BORNE EXCLUSIVELY BY INSURANCE CARRIERS AND
 LICENSED  REPRESENTATIVES  PURSUANT  TO  SUBDIVISION  THREE-B OF SECTION
 FIFTY OF THIS ARTICLE AND THE COSTS  SHALL  NOT  BE  PASSED  TO  INSURED
 EMPLOYERS.

   Section  1.  Subdivision  3 of section 50 of the workers' compensation
 law, as amended by section 3 of part G of chapter  57  of  the  laws  of
 2011,  the closing paragraph as further amended by section 104 of part A
 of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   3. By furnishing satisfactory proof to  the  chair  of  his  financial
 ability  to  pay  such  compensation for himself, or to pay such compen-
 sation on behalf of a group of employers in accordance with  subdivision
 ten  of  this section, in which case the chair shall require the deposit

 with the chair of such securities as the chair may deem necessary of the
 kind prescribed in subdivisions one, two,  three,  four  and  five,  and
 subparagraph  (a) of paragraph three of subdivision seven of section two
 hundred  thirty-five  of the banking law, or the deposit of cash, or the
 filing of irrevocable letters of credit issued by  a  qualified  banking
 institution  as  defined by rules promulgated by the chair or the filing
 of a bond of a surety company authorized to transact  business  in  this
 state,  in  an  amount to be determined by the chair, or the posting and
 filing as aforesaid of a combination of such  securities,  cash,  irrev-
 ocable  letters  of credit and surety bond in an amount to be determined
 by the chair, to secure his liability to pay the  compensation  provided
 in this chapter. Any such surety bond must be approved as to form by the
 chair.  If  an employer or group of employers posts and files a combina-
 tion of securities, cash, irrevocable letters of credit and surety  bond
 as  aforesaid,  and  if  it becomes necessary to use the same to pay the
 compensation provided in this chapter, the chair shall  first  use  such
 securities  or  cash or irrevocable letters of credit and, when the full
 amount thereof has been exhausted, he shall then require the  surety  to
 pay  forthwith to the chair all or any part of the penal sum of the bond
 for that purpose. The chair may also require an agreement on the part of
 the employer or group of employers to  pay  any  awards  commuted  under
 section twenty-seven of this chapter, into the special fund of the state
 fund,  as  a condition of his being allowed to remain uninsured pursuant
 to this section. The chair shall have the authority to deny the applica-
 tion of an employer or group of employers to pay such  compensation  for
 himself  or  to  revoke his consent furnished, under this section at any
 time, for good cause shown. The employer or group of employers  qualify-
 ing under this subdivision shall be known as a self-insurer.
   If  for  any  reason  the  status of an employer or group of employers
 under this subdivision is terminated, the securities or the surety bond,
 or the securities, cash, or irrevocable letters  of  credit  and  surety
 bond,  on  deposit referred to herein shall remain in the custody of the
 chair for such time as the chair may deem proper and warranted under the
 circumstances. In lieu thereof, and at the discretion of the chair,  the
 employer, his or her heirs or assigns or others carrying on or liquidat-
 ing  such  business,  may execute an assumption of workers' compensation
 liability insurance policy [securing] AS DESCRIBED  HEREIN.  SEPARATELY,
 THE  CHAIR  MAY EXECUTE AN ASSUMPTION OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION LIABILITY
 INSURANCE POLICY AS DESCRIBED HEREIN ON  BEHALF  OF  THE  SPECIAL  FUNDS
 CREATED  UNDER  THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISIONS EIGHT AND NINE OF SECTION
 FIFTEEN AND SECTION TWENTY-FIVE-A OF THIS CHAPTER,  AND  NOTWITHSTANDING
 ANY  PROVISION  TO  THE  CONTRARY THE CHAIR MAY EXECUTE AN ASSUMPTION OF
 WORKERS' COMPENSATION LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY ON BEHALF OF THE  UNIN-
 SURED EMPLOYERS' FUND.  AN ASSUMPTION OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION LIABILITY
 POLICY  REFERRED  TO HEREIN SHALL SECURE such further and future contin-
 gent liability as may DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY arise from  prior  injuries
 to  workers and be incurred by reason of any change in condition of such
 workers warranting the board making subsequent  awards  for  payment  of
 additional  compensation. Such policy shall be in a form approved by the
 superintendent of financial services and issued by the state fund or any
 insurance company licensed to issue this  class  of  insurance  in  this
 state  OR,  UPON  APPLICATION  BY THE CHAIR, ANY OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY
 DEEMED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES TO BE  AN  ACCEPTABLE
 ISSUER.  In the event that such policy is issued by an insurance company
 other  than the state fund, then said policy shall be deemed of the kind
 specified in paragraph fifteen of subsection (a) of section one thousand

 S. 2009--C                         164                        A. 3009--C
 
 one hundred thirteen of the insurance law and covered  by  the  workers'
 compensation  security  fund as created and governed by article six-A of
 this chapter. It shall only be issued  for  a  single  complete  premium
 payment  in  advance  [by  the employer or group of employers] and in an
 amount deemed acceptable by the chair and the superintendent  of  finan-
 cial  services.    In  lieu  of the applicable premium charge ordinarily
 required to be imposed by  a  carrier,  said  premium  shall  include  a
 surcharge in an amount to be determined by the chair to: (i) satisfy all
 assessment  liability  due and owing to the board and/or the chair under
 this chapter; and (ii) satisfy all  future  assessment  liability  under
 this section, and which surcharge shall be adjusted from time to time to
 reflect  any  changes to the assessment of group self-insured employers,
 including any changes enacted by the chapter of the laws of two thousand
 eleven amending sections fifteen and one hundred fifty-one of this chap-
 ter. Said surcharge shall be payable to the board  simultaneous  to  the
 execution of the assumption of workers' compensation liability insurance
 policy.  However,  the  payment  of  said surcharge does not relieve the
 carrier from any other liability, including liability owed to the super-
 intendent of financial services pursuant to article six-A of this  chap-
 ter.  When  issued such policy shall be non-cancellable without recourse
 for any cause during the continuance of the  liability  secured  and  so
 covered.
   §  1-a.  Subparagraph (b) of paragraph 2 of subdivision 3-a of section
 50 of the workers' compensation law, as amended by section 4 of  part  G
 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   (b)  Where  such  plan is adopted the group self-insurer shall furnish
 satisfactory proof to the chair of its financial  ability  to  pay  such
 compensation  for  the members in the industry covered by it, its reven-
 ues, their source and assurance of continuance. The chair shall  require
 the deposit with the chair of such securities as may be deemed necessary
 of  the  kind prescribed in subdivisions one, two, three, four and five,
 and subparagraph (a) of paragraph three of subdivision seven of  section
 two hundred thirty-five of the banking law or the deposit of cash or the
 filing  of  irrevocable  letters of credit issued by a qualified banking
 institution as defined by rules promulgated by the chair or  the  filing
 of  a  bond  of a surety company authorized to transact business in this
 state, in an amount to be determined to secure its liability to pay  the
 compensation  of each employer as above provided.  Such surety bond must
 be approved as to form by the chair. The chair shall require each  group
 self-insurer  to  provide  regular  reports no less than annually, which
 shall include but not be limited to audited financial statements,  actu-
 arial opinions and payroll information containing proof that it is fully
 funded.  Such  reports  shall  also include a contribution year analysis
 detailing contributions  and  expenses  associated  with  each  specific
 contribution  year.  For  purposes of this paragraph, proof that a group
 self-insurer is fully funded shall at a minimum include proof  of  unre-
 stricted cash and investments permitted by regulation of the chair of at
 least  one hundred percent of the total liabilities, including the esti-
 mate presented in the actuarial opinion submitted by the group  self-in-
 surer  in accordance with this chapter. The chair by regulation, may set
 further financial standards for group self-insurers. Any group  self-in-
 surer  that fails to show that it is fully funded shall be deemed under-
 funded, and must submit a plan for achieving fully funded  status  which
 may  include  a deficit assessment on members of such group self-insurer
 which shall be subject to approval or modification  by  the  chair.  THE
 AMOUNT  OF  SUCH  UNDER-FUNDING, AS MEASURED BY THE ACTUARIAL OPINION OR

 as added by chapter 6 of the  laws  of  2007,  paragraph  5  as  further
 amended  by  section 104 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (i) (1) The waiver agreement management office may  contract  with  AN
 INSURANCE  CARRIER,  SELF-INSURED  EMPLOYER, STATE INSURANCE FUND OR any
 third party to ASSUME  LIABILITY  FOR,  manage,  administer,  or  settle
 claims  on  its  behalf, so long as (A) such contract is approved by the
 special disability fund advisory committee and (B)  such  [third]  party
 shall  agree  to be subject to any guidelines or directives as the chair
 may issue.
   (2) The chair MAY, with approval of the special disability fund  advi-
 sory  committee  and  on  such terms as the committee deems appropriate,
 [shall have discretion to] procure  one  or  more  private  entities  to
 assume  the  liability for and [management, administration or settlement
 of] MANAGE, ADMINISTER, OR SETTLE all or a portion of the claims in  the
 special  disability fund INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BY OBTAINING "AN
 ASSUMPTION OF  WORKERS'  COMPENSATION  LIABILITY  INSURANCE  POLICY"  AS
 DEFINED  IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION FIFTY OF THIS CHAPTER. ANY SUCH
 POLICY SHALL EXPRESSLY PROVIDE AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER  PROVISION
 OF  LAW,  OPERATE  TO RELEASE FROM ANY FURTHER LIABILITY (I) THE SPECIAL
 DISABILITY FUND AND (II) THE INSURANCE CARRIER, INCLUDING  AS  THE  CASE
 MAY BE THE STATE INSURANCE FUND, ORIGINALLY LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM COVERED
 BY  THE  ASSUMPTION  OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY
 SECURING SUCH FURTHER AND FUTURE CONTINGENT LIABILITY AS MAY ARISE  FROM
 ANY  SUCH  CLAIM,  INCLUDING  FROM  PRIOR  INJURIES  TO EMPLOYEES AND BE
 INCURRED BY REASON OF ANY CHANGE IN THE CONDITION OF SUCH EMPLOYEES  FOR
 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS
 OF  LAW, NO CONSULTATION OR APPROVAL OF ANY EMPLOYER, INSURANCE CARRIER,
 SELF-INSURER OR THE STATE INSURANCE FUND SHALL BE REQUIRED  BEFORE  SUCH
 OFFICE MAY ENTER INTO ANY SUCH POLICY OF WAIVER AGREEMENT, OR BEFORE THE
 BOARD  MAY  APPROVE SUCH WAIVER AGREEMENT. Any such procurement shall be
 conducted in accordance with state finance law, except as otherwise  set
 forth  below.  The  chair shall not award any contract that has not been
 approved by the special disability  fund  advisory  committee.  Notwith-
 standing  the  foregoing,  the  chair of the workers' compensation board
 may, if approved by the special disability fund advisory committee,  and
 on such terms as the committee deems appropriate:
   (A)  waive  any  informality  in a bid, and either reject all bids and
 again advertise for bids, or interview at least two  responsible  quali-
 fied bidders and negotiate and enter into a contract with one or more of
 such bidders; or
   (B)  group  claims  to  be assigned, in whole or in part, based on the
 insurance carrier, self-insured employer or state insurance fund that is
 receiving or will receive reimbursement on those claims from the  second
 disability fund. Such grouping shall be permissible notwithstanding that
 any  insurance carrier may have greater access to information, or may be
 able to provide better terms, in regard to claims so grouped.
   (3) [Any such contract shall expressly provide that the special  disa-
 bility  fund is no longer liable for the claims covered by the contract,
 and require security of either cash, an indemnity policy, or such  secu-
 rity as is otherwise sufficient to cover any losses incurred as a result

 of  the  failure  or  default of the entity or entities awarded any such
 contract, including as a result of the insolvency of  any  such  entity.
 The  chair  may waive all or part of such security, and may impose other
 reasonable  methods  of  insuring  payment, upon approval of the special
 disability fund advisory committee.] ANY POLICY EXECUTED  BY  THE  CHAIR
 PURSUANT  TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE IN THE FORM OF AN ASSUMPTION OF WORK-
 ERS' COMPENSATION LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY SECURING SUCH  FURTHER  AND
 FUTURE  CONTINGENT LIABILITY AS MAY ARISE FROM ANY CLAIM COVERED BY SUCH
 POLICY, INCLUDING PRIOR INJURIES TO WORKERS AND BE INCURRED BY REASON OF
 ANY CHANGE IN THE CONDITION OF SUCH WORKERS WARRANTING THE BOARD  MAKING
 SUBSEQUENT  AWARDS  FOR  PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. SUCH POLICY
 SHALL BE IN A FORM APPROVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCIAL  SERVICES
 AND ISSUED BY THE STATE INSURANCE FUND OR ANY INSURANCE COMPANY LICENSED
 TO  ISSUE THIS CLASS OF INSURANCE IN THIS STATE, OR DEEMED ACCEPTABLE AS
 AN ISSUER UPON APPLICATION BY THE CHAIR TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AS  SPECI-
 FIED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION FIFTY OF THIS CHAPTER. IN THE EVENT
 THAT  SUCH POLICY IS ISSUED BY AN INSURANCE COMPANY OTHER THAN THE STATE
 INSURANCE FUND, THEN SAID POLICY SHALL BE DEEMED OF THE  KIND  SPECIFIED
 IN  PARAGRAPH  FIFTEEN  OF  SUBSECTION  (A)  OF SECTION ONE THOUSAND ONE
 HUNDRED THIRTEEN OF THE  INSURANCE  LAW  AND  COVERED  BY  THE  WORKERS'
 COMPENSATION  SECURITY  FUND AS CREATED AND GOVERNED BY ARTICLE SIX-A OF
 THIS CHAPTER. SUCH POLICY SHALL ONLY BE ISSUED  FOR  A  SINGLE  COMPLETE
 PREMIUM  PAID IN ADVANCE AND IN AN AMOUNT DEEMED ACCEPTABLE BY THE CHAIR
 AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES. WHEN  ISSUED  SUCH  POLICY
 SHALL  BE  NONCANCELLABLE  WITHOUT  RECOURSE  FOR  ANY  CAUSE DURING THE
 CONTINUANCE OF THE LIABILITY SECURED AND SO COVERED.
   (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this  article,  the  waiver
 agreement management office may request in writing any information rele-
 vant  to  its entry into or management of waiver agreements from (A) any
 insurance carrier, employer, or the state insurance fund, if that entity
 has submitted a claim for reimbursement from the special disability fund
 as to the claimant to whom the information relates; or (B)  the  special
 funds  conservation  committee.  The  party  to whom the request is made
 shall provide the requested information  within  fourteen  days  of  the
 request, unless before that date it files an objection with the board to
 any  information  which  is  subject  to a recognized privilege or whose
 production is otherwise barred by law. The objecting party shall provide
 the requested information within  five  business  days  of  the  board's
 rejection of its objection.
   (5)  No  carrier,  self-insured  employer  or the state insurance fund
 shall assume the liability for, or management, administration or settle-
 ment of any claims under this section on which it holds reserves, beyond
 such reserves as are permitted by regulation of  the  superintendent  of
 financial services for purposes of this provision. No carrier may assume
 liability for any claims in the special disability fund under this para-
 graph  unless  the  carrier  maintains, on a stand alone basis, separate
 from its parent or any affiliated  entities,  an  interactive  financial
 strength  rating  from a nationally recognized statistical rating organ-
 ization that is considered secure or deemed acceptable  by  the  special
 disability fund advisory committee.
   (6)  The  director of the budget shall notify in writing the chairs of
 the senate finance committee and the assembly ways and  means  committee
 of  any  plans  to  transfer all or a portion of the portfolio of claims
 determined to be eligible for reimbursement from the special  disability
 fund  or  to [contract with any party to take responsibility in whole or
 in part for the administration of a  material  portion  of  the  claims,

 anticipated to settle claims, the chief executive officer of the  dormi-
 tory  authority  of the state of New York and the director of the budget
 shall provide a report to the chairs of the senate finance committee and
 the assembly ways and means committee on a  planned  bond  sale  of  the
 authority  and such report shall include, but not be limited to: (A) the
 maximum amount of  bonds  expected  to  be  sold  by  the  authority  in
 connection with a sale agreement; (B) the expected maximum interest rate
 and  maturity  date  of such bonds; (C) the expected amount of the bonds
 that will be fixed and/or variable  interest  rate;  (D)  the  estimated
 costs  of issuance; (E) the estimated level or levels of reserve fund or
 funds, if any; (F) the estimated cost of bond issuance, if any; (G)  the

 be deemed a substantive limitation on the  authority  of  the  dormitory
 authority of the state of New York.

   §  4. Section 4 of part F of chapter 60 of the laws of 2015 constitut-
 ing the infrastructure investment act, is amended to read as follows:
   § 4. An entity selected by an authorized state entity to enter into  a
 design-build  contract  shall  be selected through a two-step method, as
 follows:
   (a) Step one. Generation of a list of entities that have  demonstrated
 the  general capability to perform the design-build contract.  Such list
 shall consist of a specified number of entities,  as  determined  by  an
 authorized  state  entity, and shall be generated based upon the author-
 ized state entity's review of responses to a publicly advertised request
 for qualifications. The authorized state entity's request for qualifica-
 tions shall include a general description of the  project,  the  maximum
 number  of  entities  to  be  included  on the list, [and] the selection
 criteria to be used AND THE RELATIVE WEIGHT OF EACH CRITERIA in generat-
 ing the list. Such selection criteria shall include  the  qualifications
 and experience of the design and construction team, organization, demon-
 strated responsibility, ability of the team or of a member or members of

 the   team   to  comply  with  applicable  requirements,  including  the
 provisions of articles 145, 147 and  148  of  the  education  law,  past
 record  of  compliance with the labor law, and such other qualifications
 the  authorized state entity deems appropriate which may include but are
 not limited to project understanding, financial capability and record of
 past performance. The authorized state entity shall  evaluate  and  rate
 all  entities  responding to the request for qualifications.  Based upon
 such ratings, the authorized state entity shall list the  entities  that
 shall receive a request for proposals in accordance with subdivision (b)
 of  this section.  To the extent consistent with applicable federal law,
 the authorized state entity shall consider, when awarding  any  contract
 pursuant  to  this  section,  the  participation of: (i) firms certified
 pursuant to article 15-A of the executive law as minority or women-owned
 businesses and the ability of other businesses  under  consideration  to
 work  with  minority  and  women-owned  businesses  so as to promote and
 assist  participation  by  such  businesses;  and  (ii)  small  business
 concerns  identified pursuant to subdivision (b) of section 139-g of the
 state finance law.
   (b) Step two. Selection of the proposal which is the best value to the
 [state] AUTHORIZED STATE ENTITY.   The  authorized  state  entity  shall
 issue  a request for proposals to the entities listed pursuant to subdi-
 vision (a) of this section.  If such an entity consists  of  a  team  of
 separate  entities,  the  entities that comprise such a team must remain
 unchanged from the entity as listed pursuant to subdivision (a) of  this
 section  unless  otherwise  approved by the authorized state entity. The
 request for proposals shall set forth the project's scope of  work,  and
 other  requirements,  as determined by the authorized state entity.  The
 request for proposals shall specify the criteria to be used to  evaluate
 the  responses  and  the  relative  weight of each such criteria.   Such
 criteria  shall  include  the  proposal's  cost,  the  quality  of   the
 proposal's  solution,  the  qualifications and experience of the design-
 build entity, and other factors deemed pertinent by the authorized state
 entity, which may include, but shall not be limited to,  the  proposal's
 project  implementation,  ability  to  complete the work in a timely and
 satisfactory manner, maintenance costs of the completed project, mainte-
 nance of traffic approach, and community impact.  Any  contract  awarded
 pursuant  to  this  act shall be awarded to a responsive and responsible
 entity that submits the proposal, which, in consideration of  these  and
 other  specified  criteria  deemed  pertinent to the project, offers the
 best value to the [state] AUTHORIZED STATE ENTITY, as determined by  the
 authorized  state  entity.    THE  REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SHALL INCLUDE A
 STATEMENT THAT ENTITIES SHALL DESIGNATE IN WRITING THOSE PORTIONS OF THE
 PROPOSAL THAT CONTAIN TRADE SECRETS  OR  OTHER  PROPRIETARY  INFORMATION
 THAT  ARE TO REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL; THAT THE MATERIAL DESIGNATED AS CONFI-
 DENTIAL SHALL BE READILY SEPARABLE FROM THE ENTITY'S  PROPOSAL.  Nothing
 herein shall be construed to prohibit the authorized entity from negoti-
 ating  final contract terms and conditions including cost. ALL PROPOSALS
 SUBMITTED SHALL BE SCORED  ACCORDING  TO  THE  CRITERIA  LISTED  IN  THE
 REQUEST  FOR  PROPOSALS  AND SUCH FINAL SCORES SHALL BE PUBLISHED ON THE
 AUTHORIZED STATE ENTITY'S WEBSITE.

   § 11. Section 13 of part F of chapter 60 of the laws of  2015  consti-
 tuting the infrastructure investment act, is amended to read as follows:
   §  13. Alternative construction awarding processes.  (a) Notwithstand-
 ing the provisions of any other law  to  the  contrary,  the  authorized
 state entity may award a construction contract:
   1. To the contractor offering the best value; or
   2.  Utilizing  a cost-plus not to exceed guaranteed maximum price form
 of contract in which the authorized state entity shall  be  entitled  to
 monitor  and  audit  all project costs. In establishing the schedule and
 process for determining a guaranteed maximum price, the contract between
 the authorized state entity and the contractor shall:
   (i) describe the scope of the work and the  cost  of  performing  such
 work;
   (ii) include a detailed line item cost breakdown;
   (iii)  include a list of all drawings, specifications and other infor-
 mation on which the guaranteed maximum price is based;
   (iv) include the dates for substantial and final completion  on  which
 the guaranteed maximum price is based; and
   (v) include a schedule of unit prices; or
   3.  Utilizing  a  lump  sum contract in which the contractor agrees to
 accept a set dollar amount for a contract which comprises a  single  bid
 without  providing a cost breakdown for all costs such as for equipment,
 labor, materials, as well as such contractor's profit for completing all
 items of work comprising the project.
   (b) Capital projects undertaken by  an  authorized  state  entity  may
 include  an  incentive  clause  in  the contract for various performance
 objectives, but the incentive clause shall not include an incentive that
 exceeds the quantifiable value of the benefit received  by  the  [state]
 AUTHORIZED  STATE  ENTITY.  The  authorized state entity shall establish
 such performance and payment bonds as it deems necessary.

 deemed repealed [2] 4 years after such  date,  provided  that,  projects
 with  requests  for  qualifications issued prior to such repeal shall be
 permitted to continue under this act notwithstanding such repeal.
   § 15. This act shall take effect immediately; provided,  however  that
 the amendments to the infrastructure investment act made by sections one

   FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
   PROVISIONS  OF  PROPOSED  LEGISLATION:  The proposed legislation would
 amend provisions of the Retirement and Social  Security  Law  (RSSL)  to
 permit  existing  New  York City Police Pension Fund (POLICE) Tier 3 and
 Revised Tier 3 POLICE Members to elect  to  join  the  RSSL  Article  14
 Enhanced  Plan,  and  require participation for those POLICE Members who
 become subject to Article 14 on or after April  1,  2017.  The  Enhanced
 Plan  provides  changes  to  Accidental  Disability Retirement (ADR) and
 Ordinary Disability Retirement (ODR) benefits, and  includes  a  formula
 for  adjusting  increased  contribution rates within defined parameters.
 The proposed legislation would also allow  eligible  POLICE  Members  to
 utilize applicable statutory presumptions for purposes of ADR.
   The  Effective  Date  of the proposed legislation would be the date of
 enactment.
   For purposes of this Fiscal Note, all POLICE members subject to  Arti-
 cle  14 of the RSSL will be referred to as "Tier 3 POLICE Members." Tier
 3 POLICE Members who have a date of membership prior to  April  1,  2012
 will  be  referred to as "Original Tier 3 POLICE Members." Tier 3 POLICE
 Members who have a date of membership on or after April 1, 2012 will  be
 referred to as "Revised Tier 3 POLICE Members."
   Tier  3  POLICE  Members  who are Members prior to April 1, 2017 would
 have the option of remaining under  the  current  benefit  structure  or
 irrevocably  electing,  within  120  days  of  the effective date of the
 proposed  legislation,  to  be  covered  under  the  benefit   structure
 contained  in the proposed legislation. Tier 3 POLICE Members who become
 Members on and after April 1, 2017  would  be  subject  to  the  benefit
 structure  contained  in the proposed legislation. Tier 3 POLICE Members
 who elect the benefits of this proposed legislation, and Tier  3  POLICE
 Members  who  are subject to mandatory participation, are referred to as
 "POLICE Enhanced Plan Members."
   POLICE Enhanced Plan Members would, in addition to paying the  current
 contribution rate of 3% of annual wages, be required to contribute addi-
 tional contributions initially at 1% of annual wages and, in the future,
 ranging  from 1% to 3% of annual wage depending on specified future cost
 calculations of providing POLICE Enhanced Plan benefits.
   CURRENT ODR BENEFITS PAYABLE: The current  ODR  benefits  for  Tier  3
 POLICE Members are equal to the greater of:
   * 33 1/3% of Final Average Salary (FAS), or
   *  2% of FAS multiplied by years of credited service (not in excess of
 22 years),
   Reduced by:
   * 50% of the Primary Social Security Disability  benefits  (determined
 under RSSL Section 511), and
   * 100% of Workers' Compensation benefits (if any).

 S. 2009--C                         181                        A. 3009--C

   FAS  is a Three-Year Average (FAS3) for Original Tier 3 POLICE Members
 and a Five-Year Average (FAS5) for Revised Tier 3 POLICE Members.
   It  is  the  understanding  of the Actuary that POLICE Members are not
 covered by Workers' Compensation.
   IMPACT ON ODR BENEFITS PAYABLE: Under the  proposed  legislation,  the
 ODR  benefits  for  POLICE  Enhanced Plan Members would be revised to be
 equal to the greater of:
   * 33 1/3% of FAS5, or
   * 2% of FAS5 multiplied by years of credited service (not in excess of
 22 years).
   Reduced by:
   * 100% of Workers' Compensation benefits (if any).
   It is the understanding of the Actuary that  POLICE  Members  are  not
 covered by Workers' Compensation.
   Eligibility  for  ODR  benefits for Enhanced Plan Members would remain
 the same.
   In addition, the proposed legislation would NOT apply  the  Escalation
 available  under  RSSL  Section  510 to ODR benefits for POLICE Enhanced
 Plan Members. However, such ODR benefits would  still  be  eligible  for
 Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) under Chapter 125 of the Laws of 2000.
   CURRENT  ADR  BENEFITS  PAYABLE:  The  current ADR benefits for Tier 3
 POLICE Members is equal to:
   * 50% multiplied by FAS,
   Reduced by:
   * 50% of Primary Social Security disability benefit or Primary  Social
 Security benefits, whichever begins first (determined under RSSL Section
 511), and
   * 100% of Workers' Compensation benefits (if any).
   FAS  is  a  FAS3  for  Original  Tier  3 POLICE Members and a FAS5 for
 Revised Tier 3 POLICE Members.
   It is the understanding of the Actuary that  POLICE  Members  are  not
 covered by Workers' Compensation.
   IMPACT  ON  ADR  BENEFITS PAYABLE: Under the proposed legislation, the
 eligibility requirements for  ADR  benefits  for  POLICE  Enhanced  Plan
 Members  would  be  the  same as current Tier 3 POLICE Members. However,
 these Members would also become eligible to utilize applicable statutory
 presumptions (e.g., certain heart conditions) for purposes of ADR.
   Under the proposed legislation, the ADR  benefits  for  Enhanced  Plan
 Members would be revised to equal a retirement allowance of:
   * 75% multiplied by FAS5,
   Reduced by:
   * 100% of Workers' Compensation benefits (if any).
   It  is  the  understanding  of the Actuary that POLICE Members are not
 covered by Workers' Compensation.
   In addition, the proposed legislation would NOT apply  the  Escalation
 available  under  RSSL  Section  510  to  ADR benefits for Enhanced Plan
 Members. However, such ADR benefits would still  be  eligible  for  COLA
 under Chapter 125 of the Laws of 2000.
   FINANCIAL  IMPACT  -  CHANGES  IN PROJECTED ACTUARIAL PRESENT VALUE OF
 FUTURE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROJECTED EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS:  For
 purposes  of  this  Fiscal  Note,  it is assumed that the changes in the
 Actuarial Present Value (APV) of benefits (APVB), APV of member contrib-
 utions, the Unfunded Actuarial  Accrued  Liability  (UAAL)  and  APV  of
 future  employer  contributions would be reflected for the first time in
 the June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation of POLICE. Under the One-Year  Lag
 Methodology  (OYLM),  the  first  year  in which changes in benefits for

 S. 2009--C                         182                        A. 3009--C
 
 Enhanced Plan Members could  impact  employer  contributions  to  POLICE
 would be Fiscal Year 2018.
   The estimated increases in employer contributions shown in Table 1 are
 based upon the following projection assumptions:
   *  Level workforce (i.e., new employees are hired to replace those who
 leave active status).
   * Salary increases consistent with those used  in  projections  to  be
 presented to the New York City Office of Management and Budget in April,
 2017 (Preliminary Projections).
   *  New  entrant salaries consistent with those used in the Preliminary
 Projections.
   OTHER COSTS: Not measured in this Fiscal Note are the following:
   * The initial, additional administrative costs of POLICE to  implement
 the proposed legislation.
   *  The  impact  of  this  proposed legislation on Other Postemployment
 Benefit (OPEB) costs.
   CENSUS DATA: The  starting  census  data  used  for  the  calculations
 presented  herein  is  the  census data used in the Preliminary June 30,
 2016 (Lag) actuarial valuation of POLICE to  determine  the  Preliminary
 Fiscal Year 2018 employer contributions.
   The 3,211 Original Tier 3 POLICE members who have a date of membership
 prior to April 1, 2012 had an average age of approximately 31.3, average
 service of approximately 5.2 years and an average salary of approximate-
 ly  $87,300 as of June 30, 2016. The 7,998 Revised Tier 3 POLICE Members
 who have a date of membership on or after April 1, 2012 had  an  average
 age  of  approximately  28.4, average service of approximately 1.8 years
 and an average salary of approximately $58,400 as of June 30, 2016.
   ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS: The  additional  employer  contrib-
 utions  presented  herein  have  been  calculated based on the actuarial
 assumptions and methods in effect for  the  Preliminary  June  30,  2016
 (Lag) actuarial valuations used to determine the Preliminary Fiscal Year
 2018 employer contributions of POLICE.
   In determining the change in employer contributions, the probabilities
 of  accidental  disability  used  for  Tier 3 POLICE members equal those
 currently used for Tier 2 POLICE members who are not eligible for  World
 Trade Center benefits.
   It  has been further assumed that all Tier 3 POLICE members who became
 members  prior  to  April  1,  2017  will  choose  the  new   disability
 provisions.
   The  actuarial valuation methodology does not include a calculation of
 the value of an offset for Workers' Compensation  benefits  for  Tier  3
 POLICE  members  as  it  is  the understanding of the Actuary that these
 members are not covered by such benefits.
   Employer contributions under current methodology have  been  estimated
 assuming  the  additional  APVB  would be financed through future normal
 contributions including an amortization of the new UAAL attributable  to
 this  proposed  legislation over a 15-year period (14 payments under the
 OYLM Methodology).
   New entrants were projected to replace the members expected  to  leave
 the active population to maintain a steady-state population.
   For  purposes  of  estimating  the  financial  impact  of  the changes
 described above, an assumed Escalation rate of 2.5% was used for current
 Tier 3 Police Member benefits, which is consistent with  the  underlying
 Consumer  Price  Inflation (CPI) assumption of 2.5% per year. Consistent
 with Chapter 125 of the Laws of 2000, a  COLA  rate  of  1.5%  per  year
 (i.e., 50% of CPI adjusted to recognize a 1.0% minimum and 3.0% maximum)

 S. 2009--C                         183                        A. 3009--C
 
 on  the  first  $18,000  of  benefit was assumed for purposes of valuing
 proposed Enhanced Plan benefits.
   In  accordance  with ACNY Section 13.638.2(k-2), new UAAL attributable
 to benefit changes are to be amortized as determined by the Actuary  but
 generally  over  the remaining working lifetime of those impacted by the
 benefit changes. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining working lifetime  of
 the  Tier  3  POLICE members is approximately 18 years. Recognizing that
 this period will decrease over  time  as  the  group  of  Enhanced  Plan
 Members  matures,  the  Actuary  would likely choose to amortize the new
 UAAL attributable to this proposed legislation over a 15-year to 20-year
 period (between 14 and 19 payments  under  the  OYLM  Methodology).  For
 purposes  of  this  Fiscal Note, the Actuary has elected to amortize the
 change in UAAL over a 15-year period (14 payments).
   Table 1 presents an estimate of the increases in  the  APV  of  future
 employer  contributions  and  in  employer  contributions  to POLICE for
 Fiscal Years 2018 through 2022  due  to  the  changes  in  ODR  and  ARD
 provisions  for  Enhanced Plan Members based on the applicable actuarial
 assumptions and methods noted herein:

 commencement of a new tax exemption pursuant to either the private hous-
 ing finance law or section four hundred twenty-c of this title.

 vision  shall not be exclusive, and are in addition to any other rights,
 remedies, or enforcement powers set forth in any other law or  available
 at law or in equity.
   [(m)] (N) Multiple tax lots. If an eligible site contains multiple tax
 lots,  an  application  may  be submitted with respect to one or more of
 such tax lots.  The  agency  shall  determine  eligibility  for  [421-a]

   (iii) The agency may rely on certification by an architect or engineer
 submitted  by  an applicant in connection with the filing of an applica-
 tion. A false certification by  such  architect  or  engineer  shall  be
 deemed  to  be  professional  misconduct  pursuant to section sixty-five
 hundred nine of the education law. Any licensee  found  guilty  of  such
 misconduct under the procedures prescribed in section sixty-five hundred
 ten of the education law shall be subject to the penalties prescribed in
 section sixty-five hundred eleven of the education law, and shall there-
 after  be ineligible to submit a certification pursuant to this subdivi-
 sion.

 A CONDITION TO APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION.
   [(o)]  (P)  Filing  fee.  The agency may require a filing fee of three
 thousand dollars per dwelling unit in connection with  any  application.
 However,  the  agency  may  promulgate  rules  imposing a lesser fee for

 the  substantial  assistance of grants, loans or subsidies provided by a
 federal, state or local governmental agency or instrumentality  pursuant
 to a program for the development of affordable housing.
   [(p)] (Q) Rules.

 SUBDIVISION, THE AGENCY SHALL HAVE THE SOLE  AUTHORITY  TO  ENFORCE  THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION AND may promulgate rules to carry out the
 provisions of this subdivision.

 that such local law may not grant 421-a benefits beyond  those  provided
 in  this  subdivision and provided further that such local law shall not
 take effect sooner than one year after it is enacted. The provisions  of
 sections  11-245  and 11-245.1 of the administrative code of the city of
 New York or of any other local law of the city of  New  York  that  were
 enacted  on  or  before the effective date of the chapter of the laws of

   § 3. Subdivision 1 of section 433 of the economic development law,  as

 amended to read as follows:
   1. In order to participate in the START-UP NY program, a business must
 satisfy all of the following criteria.
   (a) The mission and activities of the  business  must  align  with  or
 further  the academic mission of the campus, college or university spon-
 soring the tax-free NY area in which it seeks to locate, and  the  busi-
 ness's  participation  in  the  START-UP  NY  program must have positive
 community and economic benefits.
   (b) The business must demonstrate that it will, in its first  year  of
 operation,  create  net new jobs. After its first year of operation, the
 business must maintain net new jobs. In addition, the average number  of
 employees  of  the  business and its related persons in the state during
 the year must equal or exceed the sum of:  (i)  the  average  number  of
 employees  of  the  business and its related persons in the state during
 the year immediately preceding the year in which  the  business  submits
 its  application  to locate in a tax-free NY area; and (ii) net new jobs
 of the business in the tax-free NY area during  the  year.  The  average
 number of employees of the business and its related persons in the state
 shall  be determined by adding together the total number of employees of
 the business and its related persons in the state on March thirty-first,
 June thirtieth, September thirtieth and December thirty-first and divid-
 ing the total by the number of such dates occurring within such year.
   (c) Except as provided in paragraphs [(g)] (F) and [(h)] (G)  of  this
 subdivision,  at the time it submits its application for the START-UP NY
 program, the business must be a new business to the state.
   (d) The business may be organized as  a  corporation,  a  partnership,
 limited liability company or a sole proprietorship.

 thereafter, the business must complete and timely file the annual report
 required under section four hundred thirty-eight of this article.
   (f)] (E) Except as provided in paragraphs [(g)] (F) and [(h)]  (G)  of
 this subdivision, the business must not be engaged in a line of business
 that  is  currently  or  was  previously  conducted by the business or a
 related person in the last five years in New York state.
   [(g)] (F) If a business does not satisfy the eligibility standard  set
 forth  in paragraph (c) or [(f)] (E) of this subdivision, because at one
 point in time it operated in New York state but moved its operations out
 of New York state on or before June first, two  thousand  thirteen,  the
 commissioner  shall  grant  that business permission to apply to partic-
 ipate in the START-UP NY program if the commissioner determines that the
 business has demonstrated that it will substantially restore the jobs in
 New York state that it previously had moved out of state.
   [(h)] (G) If a business seeks to expand its current operations in  New
 York  state into a tax-free NY area but the business does not qualify as
 a new business because it does not satisfy the criteria in paragraph (c)
 of subdivision six of section four hundred thirty-one of this article or
 the business does not satisfy the  eligibility  standard  set  forth  in
 paragraph  [(f)]  (E)  of this subdivision, the commissioner shall grant

 the business permission to apply  to  participate  in  the  START-UP  NY
 program  if  the  commissioner  determines  that the business has demon-
 strated that it will create net new jobs in the  tax-free  NY  area  and
 that  it  or any related person has not eliminated any jobs in the state
 in connection with this expansion.

                                 PART VVV
 
   Section 1. Section 60.45 of the criminal procedure law is  amended  by
 adding a new subdivision 3 to read as follows:
   3.  (A)  WHERE  A  PERSON  IS  SUBJECT TO CUSTODIAL INTERROGATION BY A
 PUBLIC SERVANT AT A DETENTION FACILITY, THE  ENTIRE  CUSTODIAL  INTERRO-
 GATION, INCLUDING THE GIVING OF ANY REQUIRED ADVICE OF THE RIGHTS OF THE
 INDIVIDUAL  BEING  QUESTIONED, AND THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS BY THE INDI-
 VIDUAL, SHALL BE RECORDED BY AN APPROPRIATE VIDEO  RECORDING  DEVICE  IF
 THE  INTERROGATION  INVOLVES  A  CLASS A-1 FELONY, EXCEPT ONE DEFINED IN
 ARTICLE TWO HUNDRED TWENTY OF THE PENAL LAW; FELONY OFFENSES DEFINED  IN
 SECTION  130.95 AND 130.96 OF THE PENAL LAW; OR A FELONY OFFENSE DEFINED
 IN ARTICLE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE OR ONE HUNDRED  THIRTY  OF  SUCH  LAW
 THAT  IS DEFINED AS A CLASS B VIOLENT FELONY OFFENSE IN SECTION 70.02 OF
 THE PENAL LAW. FOR PURPOSES  OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH,  THE  TERM  "DETENTION
 FACILITY"  SHALL  MEAN  A POLICE STATION, CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, HOLDING
 FACILITY FOR PRISONERS, PROSECUTOR'S  OFFICE  OR  OTHER  FACILITY  WHERE
 PERSONS  ARE  HELD IN DETENTION IN CONNECTION WITH CRIMINAL CHARGES THAT
 HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE FILED AGAINST THEM.
   (B) NO CONFESSION, ADMISSION OR OTHER STATEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO  A
 MOTION  TO  SUPPRESS  PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 710.20 OF
 THIS CHAPTER BASED SOLELY UPON THE FAILURE TO VIDEO RECORD SUCH INTERRO-
 GATION IN A DETENTION FACILITY AS  DEFINED  IN  PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF  THIS
 SUBDIVISION. HOWEVER, WHERE THE PEOPLE OFFER INTO EVIDENCE A CONFESSION,
 ADMISSION OR OTHER STATEMENT MADE BY A PERSON IN CUSTODY WITH RESPECT TO
 HIS  OR  HER PARTICIPATION OR LACK OF PARTICIPATION IN AN OFFENSE SPECI-
 FIED IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS  SUBDIVISION,  THAT  HAS  NOT  BEEN  VIDEO
 RECORDED,  THE  COURT  SHALL CONSIDER THE FAILURE TO RECORD AS A FACTOR,
 BUT NOT AS THE SOLE FACTOR, IN ACCORDANCE WITH  PARAGRAPH  (C)  OF  THIS
 SUBDIVISION  IN  DETERMINING WHETHER SUCH CONFESSION, ADMISSION OR OTHER
 STATEMENT SHALL BE ADMISSIBLE.
   (C) NOTWITHSTANDING THE REQUIREMENT OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS  SUBDIVI-
 SION,  UPON  A  SHOWING  OF  GOOD CAUSE BY THE PROSECUTOR, THE CUSTODIAL
 INTERROGATION NEED NOT BE RECORDED. GOOD CAUSE SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE
 LIMITED TO:
   (I) IF ELECTRONIC RECORDING EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONS.
   (II) IF ELECTRONIC RECORDING EQUIPMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WAS
 OTHERWISE BEING USED.
   (III) IF STATEMENTS  ARE  MADE  IN  RESPONSE  TO  QUESTIONS  THAT  ARE
 ROUTINELY ASKED DURING ARREST PROCESSING.
   (IV)  IF THE STATEMENT IS SPONTANEOUSLY MADE BY THE SUSPECT AND NOT IN
 RESPONSE TO POLICE QUESTIONING.
   (V) IF THE STATEMENT IS MADE DURING AN INTERROGATION THAT IS CONDUCTED
 WHEN THE INTERVIEWER IS UNAWARE THAT A QUALIFYING OFFENSE HAS OCCURRED.
   (VI) IF THE STATEMENT IS MADE AT A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE  "INTERVIEW
 ROOM"  BECAUSE  THE  SUSPECT  CANNOT  BE BROUGHT TO SUCH ROOM, E.G., THE
 SUSPECT IS IN A HOSPITAL OR THE SUSPECT IS OUT OF STATE AND  THAT  STATE
 IS NOT GOVERNED BY A LAW REQUIRING THE RECORDATION OF AN INTERROGATION.

 S. 2009--C                         203                        A. 3009--C
 
   (VII)  IF THE STATEMENT IS MADE AFTER A SUSPECT HAS REFUSED TO PARTIC-
 IPATE IN THE INTERROGATION IF IT IS RECORDED, AND APPROPRIATE EFFORT  TO
 DOCUMENT SUCH REFUSAL IS MADE.
   (VIII) IF SUCH STATEMENT IS NOT RECORDED AS A RESULT OF AN INADVERTENT
 ERROR  OR  OVERSIGHT,  NOT  THE RESULT OF ANY INTENTIONAL CONDUCT BY LAW
 ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
   (IX) IF IT IS LAW ENFORCEMENT'S REASONABLE BELIEF THAT SUCH  RECORDING
 WOULD  JEOPARDIZE  THE  SAFETY OF ANY PERSON OR REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF A
 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT.
   (X) IF SUCH STATEMENT IS MADE AT A LOCATION NOT EQUIPPED WITH A  VIDEO
 RECORDING  DEVICE  AND  THE  REASON  FOR  USING  THAT LOCATION IS NOT TO
 SUBVERT THE INTENT OF THE LAW. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS  SECTION,  THE  TERM
 "LOCATION"  SHALL  INCLUDE THOSE LOCATIONS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF
 SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION 305.2 OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT.
   (D) IN THE EVENT THE COURT FINDS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE NOT  SHOWN  GOOD
 CAUSE  FOR  THE  NON-RECORDING  OF  THE  CONFESSION, ADMISSION, OR OTHER
 STATEMENT, BUT DETERMINES THAT A NON-RECORDED CONFESSION,  ADMISSION  OR
 OTHER  STATEMENT  IS  NEVERTHELESS ADMISSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS VOLUNTARILY
 MADE THEN, UPON REQUEST OF THE DEFENDANT, THE COURT  MUST  INSTRUCT  THE
 JURY  THAT  THE  PEOPLE'S  FAILURE TO RECORD THE DEFENDANT'S CONFESSION,
 ADMISSION OR OTHER STATEMENT AS REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION MAY BE  WEIGHED
 AS  A  FACTOR,  BUT  NOT AS THE SOLE FACTOR, IN DETERMINING WHETHER SUCH
 CONFESSION, ADMISSION OR OTHER STATEMENT WAS VOLUNTARILY  MADE,  OR  WAS
 MADE AT ALL.
   (E)  VIDEO RECORDING AS REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN
 ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY RULE OF THE DIVISION OF  CRIMI-
 NAL JUSTICE SERVICES.
   §  2. Subdivision 3 of section 344.2 of the family court act is renum-
 bered subdivision 4 and a new subdivision 3 is added to read as follows:
   3. WHERE A RESPONDENT IS  SUBJECT  TO  CUSTODIAL  INTERROGATION  BY  A
 PUBLIC  SERVANT  AT  A FACILITY SPECIFIED IN SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION
 305.2 OF THIS ARTICLE, THE ENTIRE CUSTODIAL INTERROGATION, INCLUDING THE
 GIVING OF ANY REQUIRED ADVICE OF THE  RIGHTS  OF  THE  INDIVIDUAL  BEING
 QUESTIONED,  AND  THE  WAIVER  OF ANY RIGHTS BY THE INDIVIDUAL, SHALL BE
 RECORDED AND GOVERNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE  PROVISIONS  OF  PARAGRAPHS
 (A),  (B), (C), (D) AND (E) OF SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 60.45 OF THE
 CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW.
   § 3. Section 60.25 of the criminal procedure law, subparagraph (ii) of
 paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 as amended by chapter 479 of the laws  of
 1977, is amended to read as follows:
 § 60.25 Rules  of evidence; identification by means of previous recogni-
           tion, in absence of present identification.
   1. In any criminal proceeding in which the defendant's  commission  of
 an  offense is in issue, testimony as provided in subdivision two may be
 given by a witness when:
   (a) Such witness testifies that:
   (i) He OR SHE observed the person claimed by  the  people  to  be  the
 defendant  either at the time and place of the commission of the offense
 or upon some other occasion relevant to the case; and
   (ii) On a subsequent occasion he OR SHE observed, under  circumstances
 consistent  with  such  rights as an accused person may derive under the
 constitution of this state or of the United States, a person  OR,  WHERE
 THE  OBSERVATION  IS  MADE  PURSUANT  TO A BLIND OR BLINDED PROCEDURE AS
 DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH (C) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, A PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC,
 ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION OF A PERSON whom he OR

 S. 2009--C                         204                        A. 3009--C
 
 SHE recognized as the same person whom he OR SHE  had  observed  on  the
 first or incriminating occasion; and
   (iii)  He OR SHE is unable at the proceeding to state, on the basis of
 present recollection, whether or not the  defendant  is  the  person  in
 question; and
   (b)  It  is  established that the defendant is in fact the person whom
 the witness observed and recognized OR  WHOSE  PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPHIC,
 ELECTRONIC,  FILMED  OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION THE WITNESS OBSERVED
 AND RECOGNIZED on the second occasion.  Such fact may be established  by
 testimony  of  another  person  or  persons to whom the witness promptly
 declared his OR HER recognition on such occasion AND BY SUCH  PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION.
   (C)  FOR  PURPOSES  OF THIS SECTION, A "BLIND OR BLINDED PROCEDURE" IS
 ONE IN WHICH THE WITNESS IDENTIFIES A PERSON IN AN ARRAY  OF  PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELECTRONIC,  FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTIONS UNDER
 CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE, AT THE TIME THE IDENTIFICATION IS MADE, THE  PUBLIC
 SERVANT  ADMINISTERING SUCH PROCEDURE: (I) DOES NOT KNOW WHICH PERSON IN
 THE ARRAY IS THE SUSPECT, OR (II) DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE SUSPECT IS  IN
 THE  ARRAY  VIEWED  BY  THE  WITNESS. THE FAILURE OF A PUBLIC SERVANT TO
 FOLLOW SUCH A PROCEDURE SHALL BE ASSESSED SOLELY FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS
 ARTICLE  AND  SHALL  RESULT IN THE PRECLUSION OF TESTIMONY REGARDING THE
 IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE AS EVIDENCE IN CHIEF, BUT SHALL NOT  CONSTITUTE
 A  LEGAL  BASIS TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE MADE PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION SIX OF
 SECTION 710.20 OF THIS CHAPTER. THIS ARTICLE NEITHER LIMITS NOR  EXPANDS
 SUBDIVISION SIX OF SECTION 710.20 OF THIS CHAPTER.
   2.  Under circumstances prescribed in subdivision one OF THIS SECTION,
 such witness may testify at the criminal proceeding that the person whom
 he OR SHE observed and  recognized  OR  WHOSE  PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPHIC,
 ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR SHE OBSERVED AND
 RECOGNIZED  on  the  second  occasion  is the same person whom he OR SHE
 observed on the  first  or  incriminating  occasion.    Such  testimony,
 together with the evidence that the defendant is in fact the person whom
 the  witness  observed  and recognized OR WHOSE PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC,
 ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR SHE OBSERVED AND
 RECOGNIZED on the second occasion, constitutes evidence in chief.
   § 4. Section 60.30 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by  chap-
 ter 479 of the laws of 1977, is amended to read as follows:
 § 60.30 Rules  of evidence; identification by means of previous recogni-
           tion, in addition to present identification.
   In any criminal proceeding in which the defendant's commission  of  an
 offense is in issue, a witness who testifies that (a) he OR SHE observed
 the  person claimed by the people to be the defendant either at the time
 and place of the commission of the offense or upon some  other  occasion
 relevant  to the case, and (b) on the basis of present recollection, the
 defendant is the person in question and (c) on a subsequent occasion  he
 OR SHE observed the defendant, OR WHERE THE OBSERVATION IS MADE PURSUANT
 TO A BLIND OR BLINDED PROCEDURE, AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH (C) OF SUBDIVI-

 ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO  RECORDED  REPRODUCTION  OF  THE  DEFENDANT,
 under circumstances consistent with such rights as an accused person may
 derive under the constitution of this state or of the United States, and
 then  also  recognized  him OR HER OR THE PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELEC-
 TRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION OF HIM OR HER as the  same
 person  whom  he OR SHE had observed on the first or incriminating occa-
 sion, may, in addition to making an identification of the  defendant  at
 the  criminal  proceeding  on  the  basis of present recollection as the

 S. 2009--C                         205                        A. 3009--C
 
 person whom he OR SHE observed on the first or  incriminating  occasion,
 also  describe  his  OR  HER  previous  recognition of the defendant and
 testify that the person whom he OR  SHE  observed  OR  WHOSE  PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELECTRONIC,  FILMED  OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR
 SHE OBSERVED on such second occasion is the same person whom he  OR  SHE
 had observed on the first or incriminating occasion.  Such testimony AND
 SUCH  PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELECTRONIC,  FILMED  OR  VIDEO RECORDED
 REPRODUCTION constitutes evidence in chief.
   § 5. Subdivision 6 of section 710.20 of the criminal procedure law, as
 amended by chapter 8 of the laws of 1976 and as  renumbered  by  chapter
 481 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:
   6.    Consists  of potential testimony regarding an observation of the
 defendant either at the time or place of the commission of  the  offense
 or upon some other occasion relevant to the case, which potential testi-
 mony  would  not be admissible upon the prospective trial of such charge

 SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 60.25 OF THIS CHAPTER OR  WITH  THE  PROTOCOL
 PROMULGATED  IN  ACCORDANCE WITH SUBDIVISION TWENTY-ONE OF SECTION EIGHT
 HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE  A  LEGAL

 PUBLIC SERVANT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH PARAGRAPH (C) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF
 SECTION 60.25 OF THIS CHAPTER OR OF SUBDIVISION  TWENTY-ONE  OF  SECTION
 EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW SHALL NEITHER EXPAND NOR
 LIMIT  THE RIGHTS AN ACCUSED PERSON MAY DERIVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF
 THIS STATE OR OF THE UNITED STATES.
   § 6. Subdivision 1 of section 710.30 of the criminal procedure law, as
 separately amended by chapters 8 and 194 of the laws of 1976, is amended
 to read as follows:
   1. Whenever the people intend to offer at a trial (a)  evidence  of  a
 statement  made  by  a defendant to a public servant, which statement if
 involuntarily made would render the evidence thereof  suppressible  upon
 motion pursuant to subdivision three of section 710.20, or (b) testimony
 regarding an observation of the defendant either at the time or place of
 the  commission  of  the offense or upon some other occasion relevant to
 the case, to be given by a witness who has previously identified him  OR
 HER  OR  A PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED
 REPRODUCTION OF HIM OR HER as such, they must serve upon the defendant a
 notice of  such  intention,  specifying  the  evidence  intended  to  be
 offered.
   § 7. Section 343.3 of the family court act, as added by chapter 920 of
 the laws of 1982, is amended to read as follows:
   § 343.3. Rules of evidence; identification by means of previous recog-
 nition  in  absence of present identification. 1. In any juvenile delin-
 quency proceeding in which the respondent's commission of a crime is  in
 issue,  testimony  as  provided  in  subdivision  two  may be given by a
 witness when:
   (a) such witness testifies that:
   (i) he OR SHE observed the person claimed by the presentment agency to
 be the respondent either at the time and place of the commission of  the
 crime or upon some other occasion relevant to the case; and

 S. 2009--C                         206                        A. 3009--C
 
   (ii)  on a subsequent occasion he OR SHE observed, under circumstances
 consistent with such rights as an accused person may  derive  under  the
 constitution  of this state or of the United States, a person, OR, WHERE
 THE OBSERVATION IS MADE PURSUANT TO A  BLIND  OR  BLINDED  PROCEDURE  AS
 DEFINED  HEREIN,  A PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO
 RECORDED REPRODUCTION OF A PERSON whom he OR SHE recognized as the  same
 person  whom he OR SHE had observed on the first incriminating occasion;
 and
   (iii) he OR SHE is unable at the proceeding to state, on the basis  of
 present  recollection,  whether  or  not the respondent is the person in
 question; and
   (b) it is established that the respondent is in fact the  person  whom
 the  witness  observed  and recognized OR WHOSE PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC,
 ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION THE  WITNESS  OBSERVED
 AND  RECOGNIZED  on the second occasion. Such fact may be established by
 testimony of another person or persons  to  whom  the  witness  promptly
 declared  his OR HER recognition on such occasion AND BY SUCH PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION.
   (C) FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, A "BLIND OR  BLINDED  PROCEDURE"  IS
 ONE  IN  WHICH THE WITNESS IDENTIFIES A PERSON IN AN ARRAY OF PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED  REPRODUCTIONS  UNDER
 CIRCUMSTANCES  WHERE, AT THE TIME THE IDENTIFICATION IS MADE, THE PUBLIC
 SERVANT ADMINISTERING SUCH PROCEDURE: (I) DOES NOT KNOW WHICH PERSON  IN
 THE  ARRAY IS THE SUSPECT, OR (II) DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE SUSPECT IS IN
 THE ARRAY VIEWED BY THE WITNESS. THE FAILURE  OF  A  PUBLIC  SERVANT  TO
 FOLLOW  SUCH  A  PROCEDURE SHALL BE ASSESSED SOLELY FOR PURPOSES OF THIS
 ARTICLE AND SHALL RESULT IN THE PRECLUSION OF  TESTIMONY  REGARDING  THE
 IDENTIFICATION  PROCEDURE AS EVIDENCE IN CHIEF, BUT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE
 A LEGAL BASIS TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE MADE PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION  SIX  OF
 SECTION  710.20  OF  THE  CRIMINAL  PROCEDURE  LAW. THIS ARTICLE NEITHER
 LIMITS NOT EXPANDS SUBDIVISION SIX OF SECTION  710.20  OF  THE  CRIMINAL
 PROCEDURE LAW.
   2. Under circumstances prescribed in subdivision one, such witness may
 testify  at  the  proceeding that the person whom he OR SHE observed and
 recognized OR WHOSE PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO
 RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR SHE OBSERVED AND RECOGNIZED  on  the  second
 occasion  is  the  same  person  whom he OR SHE observed on the first or
 incriminating occasion. Such testimony, together with the evidence  that
 the  respondent  is  in  fact  the  person whom the witness observed and
 recognized OR WHOSE PICTORIAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO
 RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR SHE OBSERVED AND RECOGNIZED  on  the  second
 occasion, constitutes evidence in chief.
   § 8. Section 343.4 of the family court act, as added by chapter 920 of
 the laws of 1982, is amended to read as follows:
   § 343.4. Rules of evidence; identification by means of previous recog-
 nition,  in  addition  to present identification. In any juvenile delin-
 quency proceeding in which the respondent's commission of a crime is  in
 issue,  a  witness who testifies that: (a) he OR SHE observed the person
 claimed by the presentment agency to be the  respondent  either  at  the
 time  and  place of the commission of the crime or upon some other occa-
 sion relevant to the case, and (b) on the basis of present recollection,
 the respondent is the person in question, and (c) on a subsequent  occa-
 sion  he  OR  SHE  observed the respondent, OR, WHERE THE OBSERVATION IS
 MADE PURSUANT TO A BLIND OR BLINDED PROCEDURE, A PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPH-
 IC,  ELECTRONIC, FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION OF THE RESPONDENT
 under circumstances consistent with such rights as an accused person may

 S. 2009--C                         207                        A. 3009--C
 
 derive under the constitution of this state or of the United States, and
 then also recognized him OR HER OR THE  PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELEC-
 TRONIC,  FILMED OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION OF HIM OR HER as the same
 person  whom  he OR SHE had observed on the first or incriminating occa-
 sion, may, in addition to making an identification of the respondent  at
 the  delinquency  proceeding on the basis of present recollection as the
 person whom he OR SHE observed on the first or  incriminating  occasion,
 also  describe  his  OR  HER  previous recognition of the respondent and
 testify that the person whom he OR  SHE  observed  OR  WHOSE  PICTORIAL,
 PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELECTRONIC,  FILMED  OR VIDEO RECORDED REPRODUCTION HE OR
 SHE OBSERVED on such second occasion is the same person whom he  OR  SHE
 had  observed on the first or incriminating occasion. Such testimony AND
 SUCH PICTORIAL,  PHOTOGRAPHIC,  ELECTRONIC,  FILMED  OR  VIDEO  RECORDED
 REPRODUCTION  constitutes  evidence  in  chief.  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS
 SECTION, A "BLIND OR BLINDED PROCEDURE" SHALL BE AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH

 criminal  action,  such  action commences when the first of such instru-
 ments is filed.   The only  way  in  which  a  criminal  action  can  be
 commenced  in  a  superior court, OTHER THAN A CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST A
 JUVENILE OFFENDER OR ADOLESCENT OFFENDER is by the filing therewith by a
 grand jury of an indictment against a defendant who has never been  held
 by a local criminal court for the action of such grand jury with respect
 to  any  charge  contained  in  such indictment.   Otherwise, a criminal
 action can be commenced only in a local criminal court,  by  the  filing
 therewith of a local criminal court accusatory instrument, namely:

 to  the  family  court  in  the interests of justice pursuant to article
 seven hundred twenty-five of this chapter notwithstanding the verdict.
   2.  If the district attorney consents to the motion for removal pursu-
 ant  to  this  section,  he  shall file a subscribed memorandum with the
 court setting forth (1) a recommendation that the interests  of  justice
 would  best  be served by removal of the action to the family court; and
 (2) if the conviction is of an offense set forth  in  paragraph  (b)  of

 prosecution,  or (iii) where the juvenile offender has no previous adju-
 dications of having committed a designated felony  act,  as  defined  in
 subdivision  eight  of section 301.2 of the family court act, regardless
 of the age of the offender at the time of commission of  the  act,  that
 the  criminal act was not part of a pattern of criminal behavior and, in
 view of the history of the offender, is not likely to be repeated.
   § 32. Subdivision 2 of section 410.40 of the criminal  procedure  law,

   2. Warrant. (A) Where the  probation  officer  has  requested  that  a
 probation  warrant  be issued, the court shall, within seventy-two hours
 of its receipt of the request, issue or deny the  warrant  or  take  any
 other lawful action including issuance of a notice to appear pursuant to
 subdivision  one  of this section. If at any time during the period of a
 sentence of probation or of conditional discharge the court has  reason-
 able  grounds  to believe that the defendant has violated a condition of
 the sentence, the court may issue a warrant to a police officer or to an
 appropriate peace officer directing him or her  to  take  the  defendant
 into  custody  and bring the defendant before the court without unneces-
 sary delay; provided, however, if the court  in  which  the  warrant  is
 returnable is a superior court, and such court is not available, and the
 warrant  is addressed to a police officer or appropriate probation offi-
 cer certified as a peace officer,  such  executing  officer  may  UNLESS
 OTHERWISE  SPECIFIED  UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, bring the
 defendant to the local correctional facility of the county in which such
 court sits, to be detained there until not later than  the  commencement
 of the next session of such court occurring on the next business day; or
 if  the  court  in  which  the warrant is returnable is a local criminal
 court, and such court is not available, and the warrant is addressed  to
 a  police  officer or appropriate probation officer certified as a peace
 officer, such executing officer must without unnecessary delay bring the
 defendant before an alternate  local  criminal  court,  as  provided  in
 subdivision five of section 120.90 of this chapter. A court which issues
 such  a  warrant  may  attach  thereto  a  summary  of the basis for the
 warrant. In any case where a defendant  arrested  upon  the  warrant  is
 brought  before a local criminal court other than the court in which the
 warrant is returnable, such local criminal  court  shall  consider  such
 summary before issuing a securing order with respect to the defendant.
   (B)  IF  THE  COURT  IN  WHICH THE WARRANT IS RETURNABLE IS A SUPERIOR
 COURT, AND SUCH COURT IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THE WARRANT IS ADDRESSED  TO
 A  POLICE  OFFICER OR APPROPRIATE PROBATION OFFICER CERTIFIED AS A PEACE
 OFFICER, SUCH EXECUTING OFFICER SHALL,  WHERE  A  DEFENDANT  IS  SIXTEEN

 initial  period not to exceed one year from the date of such order. Such

 MENT WAS COMMITTED, BEYOND THE RESPONDENT'S TWENTY-FIRST  BIRTHDAY,  the
 commissioner shall notify the clerk of the court that the respondent was
 in his custody on such date and the court shall dismiss the petition.

 upon  a determination that probable cause exists to believe the respond-
 ent is a juvenile delinquent and the respondent shall not be entitled to
 any further inquiry on the subject of  whether  probable  cause  exists.
 After  the filing of any such petition the court must, however, exercise
 independent, de novo discretion with respect to release or detention  as
 set forth in section 320.5 OF THIS PART.

 service  payments  on  the  refunding or repayment bonds, notes or other
 obligations from the payment dates thereof to the date of issue  of  the
 refunding  or  repayment  bonds,  notes  or other obligations and to the
 price bid including estimated accrued interest or proceeds  received  by

 authorities  law,  as  amended by section 40 of part UU of chapter 54 of
 the laws of 2016, is amended to read as follows:
   (c) Subject to the provisions of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two
 thousand, the dormitory authority shall not issue any  bonds  for  state
 university  educational  facilities  purposes if the principal amount of

 issued by the dormitory authority on  and  after  July  first,  nineteen
 hundred  eighty-eight  for  state university educational facilities will
 exceed [eleven] TWELVE billion [six] THREE hundred [sixty-three]  FORTY-
 THREE  million  dollars;  provided,  however, that bonds issued or to be
 issued shall be excluded from such limitation if:  (1)  such  bonds  are
 issued to refund state university construction bonds and state universi-
 ty  construction  notes previously issued by the housing finance agency;
 or (2) such bonds are issued to refund bonds of the authority  or  other
 obligations  issued for state university educational facilities purposes
 and the present value of the aggregate debt  service  on  the  refunding

 the bonds refunded thereby; provided, further that upon certification by
 the director of the budget that the issuance of refunding bonds or other
 obligations  issued between April first, nineteen hundred ninety-two and
 March thirty-first, nineteen hundred  ninety-three  will  generate  long
 term  economic  benefits  to  the  state, as assessed on a present value
 basis, such issuance will be deemed to have met the present  value  test
 noted  above. For purposes of this subdivision, the present value of the
 aggregate debt service of the refunding bonds  and  the  aggregate  debt
 service of the bonds refunded, shall be calculated by utilizing the true
 interest  cost  of the refunding bonds, which shall be that rate arrived
 at by doubling the semi-annual interest rate (compounded  semi-annually)
 necessary  to  discount the debt service payments on the refunding bonds
 from the payment dates thereof to the date of  issue  of  the  refunding
 bonds  to  the purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest
 accrued thereon prior to the issuance  thereof.  The  maturity  of  such
 bonds,  other  than  bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, shall not
 exceed the weighted average economic life, as  certified  by  the  state
 university construction fund, of the facilities in connection with which
 the  bonds  are  issued,  and  in any case not later than the earlier of
 thirty years or the expiration of the term of  any  lease,  sublease  or
 other  agreement  relating  thereto;  provided  that  no note, including
 renewals thereof, shall mature later than five years after the  date  of
 issuance  of  such  note. The legislature reserves the right to amend or
 repeal such limit, and the state of New York, the  dormitory  authority,
 the  state university of New York, and the state university construction

 to be issued when added to the  principal  amount  of  bonds  previously
 issued pursuant to any such resolution, except bonds issued to refund or
 to  be  substituted  for  or  in lieu of other bonds in relation to city
 university facilities, will exceed seven  billion  [five]  NINE  hundred

 obligations  theretofore  issued, the proceeds of which were paid to the
 state for all or a portion of the amounts expended  by  the  state  from

 or other obligations so refunded  or  repaid,  shall  be  calculated  by
 utilizing  the  effective  interest  rate  of the refunding or repayment

 values  of  the  aggregate  debt  service  of the refunding or repayment

 and  the  urban  development  corporation  for  principal, interest, and
 related expenses pursuant to a service contract and such bonds and notes
 shall contain on the face thereof a statement to such effect. Except for

   §  43.  Paragraph  (b)  of  subdivision  4  of section 72 of the state

 payment  of debt service and related expenses during the current or next
 succeeding quarter of the state fiscal year. Such monies reserved  shall
 not  be  available  for  any  other  purpose.  Such certificate shall be

 state  taxpayers  over  the  life of the refunding bonds by achieving an
 actual debt service savings each year OR STATE FISCAL  YEAR  during  the
 term to maturity of the refunding bonds when debt service on the refund-
 ing bonds is expected to be paid from legislative appropriations or (ii)
 debt  service on the refunding bonds shall be payable in annual install-
 ments of principal and interest which result in substantially  level  or
 declining debt service payments pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision
 two  of  section  fifty-seven  of this [chapter] ARTICLE.   Such certif-
 ication by the comptroller shall be conclusive as to  matters  contained
 therein after the refunding bonds have been issued.
   (g)  Any refunding bonds issued pursuant to this section shall be paid
 in annual installments which shall, so long as any refunding  bonds  are
 outstanding, be made in each year OR STATE FISCAL YEAR in which install-
 ments  were  due  on  the bonds to be refunded and shall be in an amount
 which shall result in annual debt service payments which shall  be  less
 in  each year OR STATE FISCAL YEAR than the annual debt service payments
 on the bonds to be refunded unless debt service on the  refunding  bonds
 is  payable  in annual installments of principal and interest which will
 result in substantially level or declining debt service payments  pursu-
 ant  to  paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section fifty-seven of this
 [chapter] ARTICLE.
   § 49. Subdivisions 1, 2 and 6 of section 57 of the state finance  law,
 as  amended  by  chapter  11 of the laws of 1994, are amended to read as
 follows:
   1. Whenever the legislature, after authorization of a  bond  issue  by
 the people at a general election, as provided by section eleven of arti-
 cle  seven of the STATE constitution, OR AS PROVIDED BY SECTION THREE OF
 ARTICLE EIGHTEEN OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION, shall  have  authorized,  by
 one  or  more  laws, the creation of a state debt or debts, bonds of the
 state, to the amount of the debt or debts so authorized, shall be issued
 and sold by the state comptroller. Any appropriation from  the  proceeds
 of the sale of bonds, pursuant to this section, shall be deemed to be an
 authorization for the creation of a state debt or debts to the extent of
 such  appropriation.  The  state comptroller may issue and sell a single
 series of bonds pursuant to one or more such authorizations and for  one
 or  more  duly  authorized works or purposes. As part of the proceedings
 for each such issuance and sale of bonds, the  state  comptroller  shall
 designate  the works or purposes for which they are issued. It shall not
 be necessary for him to designate the works or purposes  for  which  the
 bonds are issued on the face of the bonds. The proceeds from the sale of
 bonds  for  more  than one work or purpose shall be separately accounted
 for according to the works or purposes designated for such sale  by  the
 comptroller  and the proceeds received for each work or purpose shall be
 expended only for such work or purpose. The bonds shall bear interest at
 such rate or rates as in the judgment of the state  comptroller  may  be
 sufficient or necessary to effect a sale of the bonds, and such interest
 shall  be  payable  at  least semi-annually, in the case of bonds with a
 fixed interest rate, and at least annually, in the case of bonds with an
 interest rate that varies periodically, in the city of New  York  unless
 annual  payments of principal and interest result in substantially level
 or declining debt service payments over the life of an  issue  of  bonds
 pursuant  to  paragraph (b) of subdivision two of this section or unless
 accrued interest is contributed to a sinking  fund  in  accordance  with
 subdivision  three  of  section  twelve  of  article  seven of the state
 constitution, in which case interest shall be paid at such times and  at

 S. 2009--C                         286                        A. 3009--C
 
 such  places  as  shall  be determined by the state comptroller prior to
 issuance of the bonds.
   2.  Such  bonds,  or  the portion thereof at any time issued, shall be
 made payable (a) in equal annual principal installments or (b) in annual
 installments of principal and interest  which  result  in  substantially
 level  or  declining  debt service payments, over the life of the bonds,
 the first of which annual installments shall be payable  not  more  than
 one  year  from the date of issue and the last of which shall be payable
 at such time as the comptroller may determine but not  more  than  forty
 years OR STATE FISCAL YEARS after the date of issue, NOT MORE THAN FIFTY
 YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUE IN THE CASE OF HOUSING BONDS, AND NOT MORE
 THAN  TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE CASE OF URBAN RENEWAL BONDS.  Where bonds
 are payable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this  subdivision,  except  for
 the  year  OR  STATE FISCAL YEAR of initial issuance if less than a full
 year of debt service is to become due in that year OR STATE FISCAL YEAR,
 either (i) the greatest aggregate amount of debt service payable in  any
 YEAR  OR  STATE  fiscal  year shall not differ from the lowest aggregate
 amount of debt service payable in any other YEAR OR STATE fiscal year by
 more than five percent or (ii) the aggregate amount of debt  service  in
 each  YEAR  OR STATE fiscal year shall be less than the aggregate amount
 of debt service in the immediately preceding YEAR OR STATE fiscal  year.
 For purposes of this subdivision, debt service shall include all princi-
 pal,  redemption  price, sinking fund installments or contributions, and
 interest scheduled to become due. For purposes  of  determining  whether
 debt  service is level or declining on bonds issued with a variable rate
 of interest pursuant to paragraph b of subdivision four of this section,
 the comptroller shall assume a market rate of interest as of the date of
 issuance. Where the comptroller determines that interest  on  any  bonds
 shall be compounded and payable at maturity, such bonds shall be payable
 only in accordance with paragraph (b) of this subdivision unless accrued
 interest is contributed to a sinking fund in accordance with subdivision
 three  of  section twelve of article seven of the state constitution. In
 no case shall any bonds or portion thereof be issued for a period longer
 than the probable life of the work or purpose, or part thereof, to which
 the proceeds of the bonds are to be applied, or in the alternative,  the
 weighted average period of the probable life of the works or purposes to
 which  the proceeds of the bonds are to be applied taking into consider-
 ation the respective amounts of bonds issued for each work  or  purpose,
 as  may  be determined under section sixty-one of this [chapter] ARTICLE
 and in accordance with the certificate of the  commissioner  of  general
 services,  and/or  the  commissioner of transportation, state architect,
 STATE COMMISSIONER OF HOUSING AND URBAN RENEWAL, or other authority,  as
 the  case may be, having charge by law of the acquisition, construction,
 work or improvement for which the debt was authorized. Such  certificate
 shall  be  filed  in the office of the state comptroller and shall state
 the group, or, where the probable lives of two or more  separable  parts
 of  the  work  or  purposes are different, the groups, specified in such
 section, for which the amount or amounts, shall be provided by the issu-
 ance and sale of bonds. Weighted average period of probable  life  shall
 be  determined  by computing the sum of the products derived from multi-
 plying the dollar value of the portion of the debt contracted  for  each
 work  or purpose (or class of works or purposes) by the probable life of
 such work or purpose (or class of works or purposes)  and  dividing  the
 resulting  sum  by the dollar value of the entire debt after taking into
 consideration  any  original  issue  discount.  Any  costs  of  issuance
 financed with bond proceeds shall be prorated among the various works or

 S. 2009--C                         287                        A. 3009--C
 
 purposes.  Such bonds, or the portion thereof at any time sold, shall be
 of such denominations, subject to the foregoing provisions, as the state
 comptroller may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing  provisions  of
 this  subdivision,  the  comptroller  may issue all or a portion of such
 bonds as serial debt, term debt or a combination  thereof,  maturing  as
 required  by  this subdivision, provided that the comptroller shall have
 provided for the retirement each year OR STATE FISCAL YEAR, or otherwise
 have provided for the  payment  of,  through  sinking  fund  installment
 payments or otherwise, a portion of such term bonds in an amount meeting
 the  requirements  of  paragraph (a) or (b) of this subdivision or shall
 have established a sinking fund and provided for  contributions  thereto
 as  provided  in subdivision eight of this section and section twelve of
 article seven of the state constitution.
   6. Except with respect to bonds issued in the manner provided in para-
 graph (c) of subdivision seven of this section, all bonds of  the  state
 of New York which the comptroller of the state of New York is authorized
 to  issue  and  sell,  shall be executed in the name of the state of New
 York by the manual or facsimile signature of the state  comptroller  and
 his seal (or a facsimile thereof) shall be thereunto affixed, imprinted,
 engraved  or  otherwise  reproduced.  In  case the state comptroller who
 shall have signed and sealed any of the bonds shall cease  to  hold  the
 office  of state comptroller before the bonds so signed and sealed shall
 have been actually countersigned and delivered by the  fiscal  agent  OR
 TRUSTEE, such bonds may, nevertheless, be countersigned and delivered as
 herein  provided,  and  may  be  issued  as if the state comptroller who
 signed and sealed such bonds had not ceased to  hold  such  office.  Any
 bond  of a series may be signed and sealed on behalf of the state of New
 York by such person as at the actual time of the execution of such  bond
 shall  hold the office of comptroller of the state of New York, although
 at the date of the bonds of such series such person may  not  have  held
 such  office.    The  coupons to be attached to the coupon bonds of each
 series shall be signed by the facsimile signature  of  the  state  comp-
 troller  of  the  state of New York or by any person who shall have held
 the office of state comptroller of the state of New York on or after the
 date of the bonds of such series, notwithstanding that such  person  may
 not have been such state comptroller at the date of any such bond or may
 have  ceased to be such state comptroller at the date when any such bond
 shall be actually countersigned and delivered.  The bonds of each series
 shall be countersigned  with  the  manual  signature  of  an  authorized
 employee  of  the  fiscal  agent OR TRUSTEE of the state of New York. No
 bond and no coupon thereunto appertaining shall be valid  or  obligatory
 for  any  purpose  until  such  manual countersignature of an authorized
 employee of the fiscal agent OR TRUSTEE of the state of New  York  shall
 have been duly affixed to such bond.
   § 50. Sections 58, 59 and 60 of the state finance law are REPEALED.
   §  51.  Section 62 of the state finance law, as amended by chapter 219
 of the laws of 1999, is amended to read as follows:
   § 62. Replacement of lost certificates. The comptroller, who  may  act
 through  his  duly authorized fiscal agent OR TRUSTEE appointed pursuant
 to section sixty-five of this article, may issue to the lawful owner  of
 any  certificate or bond issued by him in behalf of this state, which he
 or such duly authorized fiscal agent OR TRUSTEE  is  satisfied,  by  due
 proof  filed  in his office or with such duly authorized fiscal agent OR
 TRUSTEE, has been lost or casually destroyed, a new certificate or bond,
 corresponding in date, number and amount with the certificate or bond so
 lost or destroyed, and expressing on its  face  that  it  is  a  renewed

 S. 2009--C                         288                        A. 3009--C
 
 certificate or bond. No such renewed certificate or bond shall be issued
 unless  sufficient  security is given to satisfy the lawful claim of any
 person to the original certificate or bond, or to any interest  therein.
 The  comptroller shall report annually to the legislature the number and
 amount of all renewed certificates or bonds so issued.  If  the  renewed
 certificate  is  issued  by  the state's duly authorized fiscal agent OR
 TRUSTEE and such agent OR TRUSTEE agrees to be responsible for any  loss
 suffered  as  a  result  of  unauthorized payment, the security shall be
 provided to and approved by the fiscal agent OR  TRUSTEE  and  no  addi-
 tional  approval  by  the  comptroller  or the attorney general shall be
 required.
   § 52. Section 65 of the state finance law, as amended by  chapter  459
 of the laws of 1948, subdivision 1 as amended by chapter 219 of the laws
 of 1999, is amended to read as follows:
   §  65.  Appointment  of fiscal agent OR TRUSTEE; powers and duties. 1.
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter,  the  comptroller,
 on  behalf  of the state, may contract from time to time for a period or
 periods not exceeding ten years each, except in the case of  a  bank  or
 trust  company  agreeing  to  act as issuing, paying and/or tender agent
 with respect to a particular issue of variable interest  rate  bonds  in
 which  case  the comptroller, on behalf of the state, may contract for a
 period not to exceed the term of such particular issue  of  bonds,  with
 one or more banks or trust companies located in the city of New York, to
 act  as fiscal agent, TRUSTEE, or agents of the state, and for the main-
 tenance of an office for the registration, conversion, reconversion  and
 transfer  of the bonds and notes of the state, including the preparation
 and substitution of new bonds and notes, for the payment of the  princi-
 pal  thereof  and  interest  thereon, [and] for related services, AND TO
 OTHERWISE EFFECTUATE THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF A FISCAL AGENT OR  TRUSTEE
 ON  BEHALF OF THE STATE IN ALL SUCH RESPECTS AS MAY BE DETERMINED BY THE
 COMPTROLLER FOR SUCH BONDS AND NOTES, and for the payment by  the  state
 of such compensation therefor as the comptroller may determine. Any such
 fiscal  agent  OR TRUSTEE may, where authorized pursuant to the terms of
 its contract, accept delivery of obligations purchased by the state  and
 of  securities deposited with the state pursuant to sections one hundred
 five and one hundred six of this chapter and hold the same in  safekeep-
 ing,  make  delivery to purchasers of obligations sold by the state, and
 accept deposit of such proceeds of sale without securing the  same.  Any
 such  contract  may  also provide that such fiscal agent OR TRUSTEE may,
 upon the written instruction of the comptroller, deposit any obligations
 or securities which it receives pursuant to such contract, in an account
 with a federal reserve bank, to be held in such account in the  form  of
 entries  on the books of the federal reserve bank, and to be transferred
 in the event of any assignment,  sale,  redemption,  maturity  or  other
 disposition  of  such obligations or securities, by entries on the books
 of the federal reserve bank. Any such bank or  trust  company  shall  be
 responsible  to  the  people  of  this  state  for the faithful and safe
 conduct of the business of said office, for the fidelity  and  integrity
 of  its officers and agents employed in such office, and for all loss or
 damage which may result from any failure to discharge their duties,  and
 for any improper and incorrect discharge of those duties, and shall save
 the  state  free and harmless from any and all loss or damage occasioned
 by or incurred in the performance of such services.   Any such  contract
 may  be  terminated  by the comptroller at any time. In the event of any
 change in any office maintained pursuant to any such contract, the comp-

 S. 2009--C                         289                        A. 3009--C

 troller shall give public notice thereof in such form as he  may  deter-
 mine appropriate.
   2.  The  comptroller  shall  prescribe  rules  and regulations for the
 registration, conversion, reconversion and transfer  of  the  bonds  and
 notes  of  the  state, including the preparation and substitution of new
 bonds, for the payment of the principal thereof  and  interest  thereon,
 and  for  other authorized services to be performed by such fiscal agent
 OR TRUSTEE. Such rules and  regulations,  and  all  amendments  thereof,
 shall  be prepared in duplicate, one copy of which shall be filed in the
 office of the department of audit and  control  and  the  other  in  the
 office  of  the  department  of  state. A copy thereof may be filed as a
 public record in such other offices as the  comptroller  may  determine.
 Such rules and regulations shall be obligatory on all persons having any
 interests  in  bonds  and  notes  of  the  state heretofore or hereafter
 issued.

   § 54. Subdivision 2 of section 365 of the public authorities  law,  as
 separately amended by sections 349 and 381 of chapter 190 of the laws of

   2. The notes and bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the board,
 shall  bear  such date or dates and mature at such time or times, in the
 case of notes and any renewals thereof within  five  years  after  their
 respective dates and in the case of bonds not exceeding forty years from
 their  respective  dates, as such resolution or resolutions may provide.
 The notes and bonds shall bear interest at such rate  or  rates,  be  in
 such  denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry
 such registration privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable  in
 such  medium of payment, at such place or places, and be subject to such
 terms of redemption as such resolution or resolutions may provide. Bonds
 and notes shall be sold by the authority, at public or private sale,  at
 such  price or prices as the authority may determine. Bonds and notes of
 the authority shall not be sold by the authority at private sale  unless
 such  sale  and  the  terms thereof have been approved in writing by the
 comptroller, where such sale is not to the comptroller, or by the direc-
 tor of the budget, where such sale is to  the  comptroller.  [Bonds  and
 notes  sold at public sale shall be sold by the comptroller, as agent of
 the authority, in such manner as the authority, with the approval of the
 comptroller, shall determine.]

 of the school that the student attends. Such superintendent  of  schools

 tional  agency  and procedures for such transfer, except that nothing in
 this subdivision shall be construed to require such  notification  where
 there are no other public schools within the local educational agency at
 the same grade level or such transfer to a safe public school within the
 local  educational  agency is otherwise impossible or to require a local
 educational agency that has only one  public  school  within  the  local
 educational  agency  or  only  one  public school at each grade level to

 school year and entitled "BT161-7" and provided further that for the two
 thousand  nine--two  thousand ten through two thousand eleven--two thou-
 sand twelve school years, each school district shall receive total foun-
 dation aid in an amount equal to the amount apportioned to  such  school
 district  for  the  two  thousand  eight--two  thousand nine school year
 pursuant to this subdivision. Total aidable foundation pupil units shall
 be calculated pursuant  to  paragraph  g  of  subdivision  two  of  this
 section.  For  the purposes of calculating aid pursuant to this subdivi-
 sion, aid for the city school district of the city of New York shall  be
 calculated on a citywide basis.
   a.  Foundation  formula  aid.  Foundation  formula aid shall equal the
 remainder when the expected minimum  local  contribution  is  subtracted
 from  the product of the foundation amount, the regional cost index, and
 the pupil need index, or: (foundation amount x  regional  cost  index  x
 pupil need index)- expected minimum local contribution.
   (1)  The foundation amount shall reflect the average per pupil cost of
 general education instruction in successful school districts, as  deter-
 mined  by  a  statistical analysis of the costs of special education and
 general education in successful  school  districts,  provided  that  the
 foundation  amount  shall be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage
 increase in the consumer price index as computed pursuant to section two
 thousand twenty-two of this chapter, provided that for the two  thousand
 eight--two  thousand  nine  school year, for the purpose of such adjust-
 ment, the percentage increase in  the  consumer  price  index  shall  be
 deemed  to  be two and nine-tenths percent (0.029), and provided further
 that the foundation amount for  the  two  thousand  seven--two  thousand
 eight  school  year  shall  be  five  thousand  two  hundred fifty-eight
 dollars, and provided further that for the two thousand seven--two thou-
 sand  eight  through  two  thousand  [sixteen]  SEVENTEEN--two  thousand
 [seventeen]  EIGHTEEN  school  years,  the  foundation  amount  shall be
 further adjusted by the phase-in foundation percent established pursuant
 to paragraph b of this subdivision.
   (2) The regional cost index shall reflect an analysis of labor  market
 costs  based on median salaries in professional occupations that require
 similar credentials to those of positions in the  education  field,  but
 not  including  those  occupations in the education field, provided that
 the regional cost indices for the two thousand seven--two thousand eight
 school year and thereafter shall be as follows:
           Labor Force Region  Index
           Capital District    1.124
           Southern Tier       1.045

           Mohawk Valley       1.000
           North Country       1.000
   (3) The pupil need index shall equal the sum of one plus the  extraor-
 dinary needs percent, provided, however, that the pupil need index shall
 not  be less than one nor more than two. The extraordinary needs percent

 S. 2009--C                         307                        A. 3009--C
 
 shall be calculated pursuant to paragraph w of subdivision one  of  this
 section.
   (4)  The expected minimum local contribution shall equal the lesser of
 (i) the product of (A) the quotient arrived at when the selected  actual
 valuation  is divided by total wealth foundation pupil units, multiplied
 by (B) the product of the local tax factor,  multiplied  by  the  income
 wealth  index,  or (ii) the product of (A) the product of the foundation
 amount, the regional cost index, and the pupil need index, multiplied by
 (B) the positive difference, if any, of  one  minus  the  state  sharing
 ratio  for  total  foundation  aid. The local tax factor shall be estab-
 lished by May first of each year by determining the product, computed to
 four decimal places without rounding, of ninety  percent  multiplied  by
 the quotient of the sum of the statewide average tax rate as computed by
 the  commissioner for the current year in accordance with the provisions
 of paragraph e of subdivision one of section thirty-six  hundred  nine-e
 of this part plus the statewide average tax rate computed by the commis-
 sioner  for  the  base  year in accordance with such provisions plus the
 statewide average tax rate computed by the  commissioner  for  the  year
 prior  to  the  base year in accordance with such provisions, divided by
 three, provided however that for the two  thousand  seven--two  thousand
 eight  school  year,  such local tax factor shall be sixteen thousandths
 (0.016), and provided further that for the two thousand eight--two thou-
 sand nine school year, such  local  tax  factor  shall  be  one  hundred
 fifty-four  ten  thousandths  (0.0154). The income wealth index shall be
 calculated pursuant to paragraph d of subdivision three of this section,
 provided, however, that for the purposes of computing the expected mini-
 mum local contribution the income wealth index shall not  be  less  than
 sixty-five percent (0.65) and shall not be more than two hundred percent
 (2.0)  and  provided  however that such income wealth index shall not be
 more than ninety-five percent (0.95) for  the  two  thousand  eight--two
 thousand  nine school year, and provided further that such income wealth
 index shall not be less than zero for  the  two  thousand  thirteen--two
 thousand  fourteen  school  year. The selected actual valuation shall be
 calculated pursuant to paragraph c of subdivision one of  this  section.
 Total  wealth  foundation  pupil  units  shall be calculated pursuant to
 paragraph h of subdivision two of this section.
   b. Phase-in foundation increase. (1) The phase-in foundation  increase
 shall  equal  the  product  of  the  phase-in foundation increase factor
 multiplied by the positive difference, if any, of (i) the product of the
 total aidable  foundation  pupil  units  multiplied  by  the  district's
 selected foundation aid less (ii) the total foundation aid base computed
 pursuant to paragraph j of subdivision one of this section.
   (2)  (i)  Phase-in foundation percent. The phase-in foundation percent
 shall equal one hundred thirteen and  fourteen  one  hundredths  percent

 fifteen school year,  and  one  hundred  two  and  five  tenths  percent
 (1.0250) for the two thousand fifteen--two thousand sixteen school year.
   (ii)  Phase-in  foundation  increase  factor.  For  the  two  thousand
 eleven--two  thousand  twelve  school  year,  the  phase-in   foundation
 increase  factor  shall  equal thirty-seven and one-half percent (0.375)
 and the phase-in due minimum percent shall equal nineteen and  forty-one

 state  of  New  York whether located on or off an Indian reservation and
 such trustee, trustees or board of education  shall  have  authority  to
 maintain  school  in  such  building  notwithstanding the fact that such
 building may not be located within the district boundary lines  of  such
 school district.
   §  22. The closing paragraph of subdivision 5-a of section 3602 of the
 education law, as amended by section 2 of part A of chapter  54  of  the

 approved  by  the  commissioner that increase the safety of students and
 school personnel, provided that for  purposes  of  this  paragraph  such
 other  security  devices shall be limited to electronic security systems
 and hardened doors, and provided  that  for  projects  approved  by  the
 commissioner on or after the first day of July two thousand thirteen and
 before  the  first  day  of  July two thousand [seventeen] EIGHTEEN such
 additional aid shall equal the product of (i)  the  building  aid  ratio
 computed for use in the current year pursuant to paragraph c of subdivi-
 sion  six  of this section plus ten percentage points, except that in no
 case shall this amount exceed one hundred percent, and (ii)  the  actual
