                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  SCOZZAFAVA  -- read once and referred to the
          Committee on Transportation
 
        AN ACT to amend the transportation law and the tax law, in  relation  to
          establishing the New Century railroad investment program and providing
          for  certain  tax  credits  for  rail  carriers; and providing for the

          repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The transportation law is amended by adding a new article
     2  18-A to read as follows:
     3                                ARTICLE 18-A
     4                   NEW CENTURY RAILROAD INVESTMENT PROGRAM
     5  Section 435. Legislative intent.
     6          436. Program objectives.
     7          437. Eligibility.
     8          438. Railroad capital facility.
     9          439. Joint applications.
    10    § 435. Legislative intent. The continuation  and  improvement  of  the
    11  appropriate level of rail freight and passenger service and the enhance-

    12  ment of the state's railroad infrastructure are a necessary component in
    13  establishing  and maintaining the economic vitality of the state and its
    14  communities. The purchase and division of the  Conrail  system  has  the
    15  potential  to invigorate competition among rail carriers in New York and
    16  establish the state as an increasingly important crossroad  for  freight
    17  on  both  the east-west and north-south corridors.  In order to meet the
    18  anticipated level of rail  freight  service  in  the  post-Conrail  era,
    19  modifications  and  improvements to the state's rail infrastructure will
    20  be necessary. The new century railroad investment program  will  provide
    21  the  state's rail carriers with a timely partnership that will stimulate

    22  investment by the rail carriers into the next century. This program will
    23  permit the railroad companies to improve the state's rail infrastructure

     1  in a manner that will enhance their ability to compete for business.  In
     2  turn,  this investment will provide the state with new opportunities for
     3  economic  development  and  will  enhance  the  increasingly   important
     4  relationships between the various modes of transportation.
     5    §  436. Program objectives. The objectives of the new century railroad

     6  investment program shall be:
     7    1. The preservation,  improvement  and  enhancement  of  the  railroad
     8  infrastructure;
     9    2. The improvement of the quality and quantity of railroad freight and
    10  passenger  service, including the development of intermodal connections;
    11  and
    12    3. The facilitation of investment that will stimulate the  cost-effec-
    13  tive  movement of freight and passengers throughout the state, including
    14  those areas that were previously underserved.
    15    § 437. Eligibility. 1. A railroad company, as defined in  section  two
    16  of this chapter, shall be eligible for a tax credit against the petrole-
    17  um  based tax imposed pursuant to section three hundred one-a of the tax

    18  law for qualifying projects certified by the  commissioner  pursuant  to
    19  the  requirements  set  forth in this section. An investment made in New
    20  York shall be deemed a qualifying project if it provides for the  acqui-
    21  sition,  construction,  reconstruction,  establishment,  improvement  or
    22  rehabilitation of a railroad capital facility. Standard  maintenance  of
    23  railroad  facilities  will  not be considered a qualifying project under
    24  this program.
    25    2. A railroad may submit an application for certification of a  quali-
    26  fying project under this program in such form and containing such infor-
    27  mation  as the commissioner may require. If the project meets the statu-
    28  tory requirements set forth in  this  section,  the  commissioner  shall

    29  certify  to  its  eligibility  for  the tax credit in a manner that will
    30  facilitate granting of the credit or reimbursement set forth in  section
    31  three hundred one-n of the tax law. If the commissioner rejects any such
    32  application  he  or  she shall state the reasons therefor in writing and
    33  may make recommendations for modification.
    34    § 438.  Railroad capital facility. For the purposes of this article, a
    35  railroad capital facility shall mean and include railroad rights of way,
    36  as well as trackage,  rails,  bridges,  clearances,  signals,  stations,
    37  terminals,  storage  yards, repair and maintenance shops, yards, offices
    38  and real estate used or held for or incidental to the  operation,  reha-

    39  bilitation  or  improvement  of  any railroad operating rail freight and
    40  rail passenger transportation services.
    41    § 439. Joint applications. Two or more railroad companies  may  submit
    42  joint  applications to the commissioner for qualifying projects in which
    43  more  than  one  railroad  plans  to  participate.  The  tax  credit  or
    44  reimbursement  allowed  by  section  three  hundred one-n of the tax law
    45  pursuant to this program shall be  based  upon  the  amount  of  capital
    46  invested by each railroad in any such project.
    47    §  2.  The tax law is amended by adding a new section 301-n to read as
    48  follows:
    49    § 301-n. Credit for capital  improvements  by  railroads.  A  railroad

    50  company,  as  defined in section two of the transportation law, shall be
    51  entitled to a credit against that portion of the tax imposed by  section
    52  three  hundred  one-a  of  this  article  which is deposited pursuant to
    53  section one hundred seventy-one-a of this chapter, or a reimbursement of
    54  such tax, up to the amount of capital investment made  in  a  qualifying
    55  project as defined in section four hundred thirty-seven of the transpor-
    56  tation law.

     1  ized by section three hundred one-d  of  this  article  which  has  been
     2  accrued  to  reduce tax liability under section one hundred eighty-six-a
     3  of this chapter during the period covered by such estimate  and  certify
     4  to  the  state  comptroller such estimated amount. The comptroller shall
     5  forthwith, after receiving such certificate, deduct the amount  of  such
     6  credit so certified by the commissioner prior to any deposit or disposi-
     7  tion of the taxes, interest and penalties collected or received pursuant
     8  to  such  sections three hundred one-a and three hundred one-e and shall
     9  pay such amount so certified and deducted into the state treasury to the

    12  hundred ninety-three, but before June fifteenth of each such  year,  the

    13  commissioner  shall determine the amount of the utility tax credit which

    19  shall, as soon as practicable, issue a certification setting  forth  the
    20  amount  of  any required adjustment to the amount of actual credit usage
    21  previously certified. After receiving the certificate of the commission-
    22  er with respect to actual credit usage or modification of the same,  the
    23  comptroller  shall forthwith adjust general fund receipts and the reven-
    24  ues to be deposited or disposed of under this  article  to  reflect  the

    25  difference  so certified by the commissioner. The commissioner shall not
    26  be liable for any overestimate or underestimate of  the  amount  of  the
    27  utility credit which has been accrued to reduce tax liability under such
    28  section  one  hundred eighty-six-a. Nor shall the commissioner be liable
    29  for any inaccuracy in any certificate with respect to the amount of such
    30  credit actually used or any required adjustment with respect  to  actual
    31  credit  usage,  but  the commissioner shall as soon as practicable after
    32  discovery of any error adjust the next certification under this  section
    33  to reflect any such error.
    34    On  or before July thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-two and on or
    35  before July thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three, the commission-

    39  from  the  motor  fuel  component, the automotive-type diesel motor fuel
    40  component and the aviation gasoline component  by  twenty  fifty-fifths;
    41  the  total  of  all  taxes,  penalties  and  interest, after refunds and
    42  reimbursements, which are derived  from  the  nonautomotive-type  diesel
    43  motor  fuel component (excluding taxes, penalties and interest which are
    44  derived from product with respect to which the credit  or  reimbursement
    45  provided  by  section three hundred one-d is taken) by twenty-fiftieths;

    52  such  products shall be compared with the total of the amounts initially
    53  distributed during such fiscal year  with  respect  to  such  components

     2  this chapter which represented thirty-five percent of the  total,  after
     3  refunds  and  reimbursements,  of  all  taxes,  penalties  and  interest

     4  collected  or  received  during  such  fiscal  year under sections three
     5  hundred one-a and three hundred one-e during the months of  such  fiscal
     6  year with respect to such components. The commissioner shall then certi-
     7  fy  the  amount  of  such  difference to the comptroller. If the amounts
     8  initially distributed in such fiscal year are greater than  the  sum  of
     9  such  products,  the comptroller shall withhold an amount equal to twen-
    10  ty-seven and three-tenths percent of  such  difference  from  the  first
    11  moneys  otherwise  payable to the general fund pursuant to this subdivi-
    12  sion and shall pay such amount  to  the  mass  transportation  operating
    13  assistance  fund  to  the credit of the metropolitan mass transportation
    14  operating assistance account and the public transportation systems oper-
    15  ating assistance account thereof  in  the  aforestated  manner.  If  the

    16  amounts  initially distributed in such fiscal year are less than the sum
    17  of such products, the comptroller shall  withhold  an  amount  equal  to
    18  twenty-seven  and three-tenths percent of such difference from the first
    19  moneys otherwise payable to the mass transportation operating assistance
    20  fund pursuant to this subdivision and  shall  pay  such  amount  to  the
    21  general fund.
    22    When  the  commissioner becomes aware of changes or modifications with
    23  respect to the distribution of revenue under this article,  the  commis-
    24  sioner  shall,  as  soon  as  practicable, issue a certification setting
    25  forth the amount of any required adjustment. After receiving the certif-
    26  icate of the commissioner with respect to  any  adjustments,  the  comp-
    27  troller shall forthwith adjust general fund receipts and the revenues to
    28  be deposited or disposed of under this article to reflect the difference

    29  so  certified  by the commissioner. The commissioner shall not be liable
    30  for any overestimate or underestimate of the amount of the distribution.
    31  Nor shall the commissioner be liable for any inaccuracy in  any  certif-
    32  icate  with  respect  to  the amount of the distribution or any required
    33  adjustment with respect to the distribution, but the commissioner  shall
    34  as  soon  as  practicable  after  discovery of any error adjust the next
    35  certification under this section to reflect any such error.
    36    Prior to making deposits as provided in this  subdivision,  the  comp-
    37  troller shall retain such amount as the commissioner may determine to be
    38  necessary,  subject  to  the approval of the director of the budget, for
    39  reasonable costs of the department in administering and  collecting  the
    40  taxes  deposited  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  and  for  refunds and

    41  reimbursements with respect to such taxes, out of which the  comptroller
    42  shall pay any refunds or reimbursements of such taxes to which taxpayers
    43  shall be entitled.
    44    § 5. This act shall take effect October 1, 2009; provided however that
    45  sections  one  and  two  of this act shall expire and be deemed repealed
    46  December 31, 2011, and sections three and four of this  act  shall  take
    47  effect January 1, 2012. Effective immediately the commissioner of trans-
