     4    (5) For the period two thousand fifteen through two thousand nineteen,
     5  in addition to the amount of credit established in paragraph two of this
     6  subdivision,  a  taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to the product
     7  (or pro rata share of the product, in the case of a member of a partner-
     8  ship) of ten percent and the amount of wages or salaries paid  to  indi-
     9  viduals  directly  employed (excluding those employed as writers, direc-
    10  tors, music directors, producers and  performers,  including  background
    11  actors with no scripted lines) by a qualified film production company or
    12  a  qualified  independent film production company for services performed
    13  by those individuals in one of the counties specified in this  paragraph
    14  in  connection  with  a  qualified  film  with  a minimum budget of five
    15  hundred thousand dollars. For purposes of this  additional  credit,  the

        A. 9415                             2
 
     1  paragraph four of subdivision (e) of this section. Such aggregate amount
     2  of credits shall be  allocated  by  the  governor's  office  for  motion
     3  picture  and television development among taxpayers in order of priority
     4  based  upon  the  date  of  filing an application for allocation of film
     5  production credit with such office.  If the total  amount  of  allocated
     6  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the aggre-
     7  gate amount of tax credits allowed for such year under  this  paragraph,
     8  such excess shall be treated as having been applied for on the first day
     9  of  the  next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits applied
    10  for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year is less than five
    11  million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part  of  the  annual
    12  allocation  made  available to the program pursuant to paragraph four of
    13  subdivision (e) of this section. However, in no event may the  total  of
    14  the  credits  allocated  under  this paragraph and the credits allocated
    15  under paragraph five of subdivision (a) of section  thirty-one  of  this
    16  article  exceed  five  million dollars in any year during the period two
    17  thousand fifteen through two thousand nineteen.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
