 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision  3 of section 355 of the economic development
 law, as amended by section 1 of part YY of chapter 59  of  the  laws  of
 2017, is amended to read as follows:
   3.  Excelsior research and development tax credit component. A partic-
 ipant in the excelsior jobs program shall be eligible to claim a  credit
 equal  to  fifty  percent  of  the  portion of the participant's federal
 research and development tax credit that relates  to  the  participant's
 research and development expenditures in New York state during the taxa-
 ble  year;  provided however, the excelsior research and development tax
 credit shall not exceed [six] TWENTY percent of the  qualified  research
 and development expenditures attributable to activities conducted in New
 York  state. If the federal research and development credit has expired,
 then the research and development expenditures relating to  the  federal
 research  and  development  credit shall be calculated as if the federal
 research and development credit structure and definition  in  effect  in
 two  thousand  nine  were  still  in effect.   Notwithstanding any other
 provision of this chapter to  the  contrary,  research  and  development
 expenditures  in  this state, including salary or wage expenses for jobs
 related to research and development activities in  this  state,  may  be
 used  as the basis for the excelsior research and development tax credit
 component and the  qualified  emerging  technology  company  facilities,
 operations and training credit under the tax law.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
