     3  be  deducted  from  the  taxpayer's tax for such year or years but in no
     4  event  shall  such credit be carried over to taxable years commencing on
     5  or after January first, two thousand  two,  and  any  amount  of  credit
     6  allowed  for  a taxable year commencing on or after January first, nine-
     7  teen hundred eighty-seven and not deductible in such year may be carried
     8  over to the fifteen taxable years next following such taxable  year  and
     9  may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.  In lieu
    10  of  such carryover, (i) any such taxpayer which qualifies as a new busi-
    11  ness under paragraph (f) of this subdivision  may  elect  to  treat  the
    12  amount  of  such  carryover  as  an overpayment of tax to be credited or
    13  refunded in accordance with the provisions of section ten hundred eight-
    14  y-six of this chapter, and (ii) any such taxpayer that  is  an  eligible
    15  farmer,  as defined in subdivision eleven of this section, may for taxa-
    16  ble years beginning before January  first,  two  thousand  twenty-eight,
    17  elect  to treat the amount of such carryover as an overpayment of tax to
    18  be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section one
    19  thousand eighty-six of this chapter, provided, however,  the  provisions
    20  of  subsection  (c)  of section ten hundred eighty-eight of this chapter
    21  notwithstanding, no interest shall be paid thereon.
    22    § 2. Paragraph 5 of subsection (a) of section 606 of the tax  law,  as
    23  amended  by  chapter  170  of  the  laws  of 1994, is amended to read as
    24  follows:
    25    (5) If the amount of credit allowable under this  subsection  for  any
    26  taxable  year  shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess
    27  allowed for a taxable year commencing prior to January  first,  nineteen
    28  hundred  eighty-seven may be carried over to the following year or years
    29  and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years,  but
    30  in  no event shall such credit be carried over to taxable years commenc-
    31  ing on or after January first, nineteen hundred  ninety-seven,  and  any
    32  amount of credit allowed for a taxable year commencing on or after Janu-
    33  ary first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven and not deductible in such year
    34  may be carried over to the ten taxable years next following such taxable
    35  year and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
    36  In  lieu  of carrying over any such excess, (A) a taxpayer who qualifies
    37  as an owner of a new business for purposes  of  paragraph  ten  of  this
    38  subsection may, at [his] the taxpayer's option, receive such excess as a
    39  refund,  and  (B)  a  taxpayer  that is an eligible farmer as defined in
    40  subsection (n) of this section may, at the taxpayer's option, for  taxa-
    41  ble  years  beginning  before  January  first, two thousand twenty-eight
    42  receive such excess as a refund. Any refund paid pursuant to this  para-
    43  graph  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  refund  of an overpayment of tax as
    44  provided in section six hundred eighty-six of  this  article,  provided,
    45  however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
    46    §  3.  This  act  shall take effect immediately, and apply to property
    47  placed in service on or after January 1, 2023.

    49    Section 1.  Paragraph 2 of subdivision (a) of section 24  of  the  tax
    50  law,  as  separately amended by sections 1 and 2 of part M of chapter 59
    51  of the laws of 2020, is amended to read as follows:
    52    (2) The amount of the credit shall be the product (or pro  rata  share
    53  of  the  product,  in the case of a member of a partnership) of [twenty-
    54  five] thirty percent and the qualified production costs paid or incurred

        S. 4009--C                          6                         A. 3009--C
 
     1  in the production of a qualified film, provided that: (i) the  qualified
     2  production  costs  (excluding  post  production  costs) paid or incurred
     3  which are attributable to the use of tangible property or  the  perform-
     4  ance  of  services  at  a  qualified  film  production  facility  in the
     5  production of such qualified film equal or exceed  seventy-five  percent
     6  of  the  production  costs  (excluding  post  production  costs) paid or
     7  incurred which are attributable to the use of tangible property  or  the
     8  performance of services at any film production facility within and with-
     9  out  the state in the production of such qualified film, and (ii) except
    10  with respect to a  qualified  independent  film  production  company  or
    11  pilot,  at least ten percent of the total principal photography shooting
    12  days spent in the production of such qualified film must be spent  at  a
    13  qualified film production facility. However, if the qualified production
    14  costs  (excluding  post  production costs) which are attributable to the
    15  use of tangible property or the performance of services at  a  qualified
    16  film  production  facility  in  the production of such qualified film is
    17  less than three million dollars,  then  the  portion  of  the  qualified
    18  production  costs  attributable  to  the use of tangible property or the
    19  performance of services in the production of such qualified film outside
    20  of a qualified film production facility shall be  allowed  only  if  the
    21  shooting days spent in New York outside of a film production facility in
    22  the  production  of  such  qualified  film  equal or exceed seventy-five
    23  percent of the total shooting days spent within  and  without  New  York
    24  outside  of  a film production facility in the production of such quali-
    25  fied film. The credit shall be allowed for the taxable year in which the
    26  production of such qualified film is completed. However, in the case  of
    27  a  qualified  film that receives funds from additional pool 2, no credit
    28  shall be claimed before the later of (1) the taxable year the production
    29  of the qualified film is complete,  or  (2)  the  [first]  taxable  year
    30  [beginning  immediately  after  the]  that  includes the last day of the
    31  allocation year for which the film has  been  allocated  credit  by  the
    32  [governor's  office  for  motion  picture  and television] department of
    33  economic development. If the amount  of  the  credit  is  at  least  one
    34  million  dollars but less than five million dollars, the credit shall be
    35  claimed over a two year period beginning in the first  taxable  year  in
    36  which the credit may be claimed and in the next succeeding taxable year,
    37  with  one-half  of  the  amount  of credit allowed being claimed in each
    38  year. If the amount of the credit is at least five million dollars,  the
    39  credit  shall be claimed over a three year period beginning in the first
    40  taxable year in which the credit may be claimed  and  in  the  next  two
    41  succeeding  taxable  years,  with  one-third of the amount of the credit
    42  allowed being claimed in each year.
    43    § 2. Paragraph 5 of subdivision (a) of section 24 of the tax  law,  as
    44  amended  by  section  2  of part M of chapter 59 of the laws of 2022, is
    45  amended to read as follows:
    46    (5) For the period two thousand fifteen through two thousand  [twenty-
    47  nine]  thirty-four,  in  addition to the amount of credit established in
    48  paragraph two of this subdivision, a taxpayer shall be allowed a  credit
    49  equal  to (i) the product (or pro rata share of the product, in the case
    50  of a member of a partnership) of ten percent and the [amount  of]  wages
    51  [or],  salaries  or other compensation constituting qualified production
    52  costs as defined in paragraph two of subdivision (b)  of  this  section,
    53  paid  to  individuals  directly  employed  [(excluding those employed as
    54  writers, directors, music directors, producers and performers, including
    55  background  actors  with  no  scripted  lines)]  by  a  qualified   film
    56  production  company  or  a qualified independent film production company

        S. 4009--C                          7                         A. 3009--C
 
     1  for services performed by those individuals in one of the counties spec-
     2  ified in this paragraph in connection with a qualified film with a mini-
     3  mum budget of five hundred thousand dollars, and (ii)  the  product  (or
     4  pro rata share of the product, in the case of a member of a partnership)
     5  of  ten  percent  and  the  qualified production costs (excluding wages,
     6  salaries or other compensation) paid or incurred in the production of  a
     7  qualified film where the property constituting such qualified production
     8  costs  was used, and the services constituting such qualified production
     9  costs were performed in any of the counties specified in this  paragraph
    10  in  connection  with  a  qualified  film  with  a minimum budget of five
    11  hundred thousand dollars where the  majority  of  principal  photography
    12  shooting  days  in  the  production of such film were shot in any of the
    13  counties specified in this paragraph. Provided, however, that the aggre-
    14  gate total eligible qualified production costs constituting wages, sala-
    15  ries or other compensation, for writers, directors,  composers,  produc-
    16  ers,  and performers shall not exceed forty percent of the aggregate sum
    17  total of all other qualified production costs.   For purposes  of  [this
    18  additional]  the credit, the services must be performed and the property
    19  must be used in one or more of the following counties: Albany, Allegany,
    20  Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayuga,  Chautauqua,  Chemung,  Chenango,  Clinton,

    25  Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, St.  Lawrence,  Steuben,  Sullivan,  Tioga,
    26  Tompkins,  Ulster,  Warren,  Washington,  Wayne, Wyoming, or Yates. [The
    27  aggregate amount of tax credits allowed pursuant  to  the  authority  of
    28  this paragraph shall be five million dollars each year during the period
    29  two  thousand  fifteen  through  two  thousand twenty-nine of the annual
    30  allocation made available to the program pursuant to paragraph  four  of
    31  subdivision  (e) of this section. Such aggregate amount of credits shall
    32  be allocated by the governor's office for motion picture and  television
    33  development  among taxpayers in order of priority based upon the date of
    34  filing an application for allocation of film production credit with such
    35  office.  If the total amount of allocated credits applied for under this
    36  paragraph in any year  exceeds  the  aggregate  amount  of  tax  credits
    37  allowed for such year under this paragraph, such excess shall be treated
    38  as  having  been  applied  for on the first day of the next year. If the
    39  total amount of allocated tax credits applied for under  this  paragraph
    40  at  the  conclusion  of  any year is less than five million dollars, the
    41  remainder shall be treated as part of the annual allocation made  avail-
    42  able  to  the  program  pursuant to paragraph four of subdivision (e) of
    43  this section. However, in no event may the total of  the  credits  allo-
    44  cated  under  this  paragraph  and the credits allocated under paragraph
    45  five of subdivision (a) of section thirty-one  of  this  article  exceed
    46  five  million dollars in any year during the period two thousand fifteen
    47  through two thousand twenty-nine.]

    49  amended by section 4 of part B of chapter 59 of the  laws  of  2013,  is
    50  amended to read as follows:

    52  extent such costs are attributable to the use of  tangible  property  or
    53  the  performance of services within the state directly and predominantly
    54  in the production (including pre-production and post  production)  of  a
    55  qualified  film. In the case of an eligible relocated television series,
    56  the term "qualified production costs" shall include, in the first season

     4  writers,  directors,  performers  (other  than background actors with no
     5  scripted lines), and composers shall not exceed  forty  percent  of  the

    26  of this title.
    27    §  394-f.  Powers  and duties of the commissioner. 1. The commissioner
    28  may promulgate  regulations  establishing  an  application  process  and

    31  forth in this title, that, notwithstanding any provisions to the contra-
    32  ry in the state administrative procedure act, may be adopted on an emer-
    33  gency basis.

    50  thirty-three of this chapter shall be allowed a credit against such tax,
    51  pursuant to  the  provisions  referenced  in  subdivision  (f)  of  this

     4  sion  tax  credit,  the taxpayer shall have been issued a certificate of
     5  tax credit by the office of children and  family  services  pursuant  to

     7  taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership, member of a limited liabil-
     8  ity company or shareholder  in  a  subchapter  S  corporation  that  has
     9  received a certificate of tax credit shall be allowed its pro rata share
    10  of  the  credit  earned by the partnership, limited liability company or
    11  subchapter S corporation.
    12    (c) Tax return requirement. The taxpayer shall be required  to  attach
    13  to  its  tax return in the form prescribed by the commissioner, proof of
    14  receipt of its certificate of tax credit issued by the  commissioner  of
    15  the office of children and family services.
    16    (d)  Information  sharing. Notwithstanding any provision of this chap-

    20  pursuant to this section and taxpayers that are applying for the  credit
    21  or that are claiming the credit; and
    22    (2)  information  contained  in  or  derived  from  credit claim forms
    23  submitted to the department. Except as provided in paragraph one of this
    24  subdivision, all information exchanged between the  office  of  children
    25  and  family  services and the department shall not be subject to disclo-
    26  sure or inspection under the state's freedom of information law.

    28  office  of children and family services under title one-A of article six
    29  of the social services law is revoked by  such  office,  the  amount  of
    30  credit  described  in  this section and claimed by the taxpayer prior to
    31  that revocation shall be added back to tax in the taxable year in  which
    32  any such revocation becomes final.
    33    (f)  Cross  references.  For application of the credit provided for in
    34  this section, see the following provisions of this chapter:

    42  provided  in  section  forty-eight  of  this  chapter, against the taxes
    43  imposed by this article.
    44    (b) Application of credit. The credit allowed under  this  subdivision
    45  for  the taxable year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less
    46  than the amount prescribed  in  paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision  one  of
    47  section two hundred ten of this article. However, if the amount of cred-
    48  it  allowed  under this subdivision for the taxable year reduces the tax
    49  to such amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the  fixed
    50  dollar  minimum amount, any amount of credit thus not deductible in such
    51  taxable year shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or
    52  refunded in accordance with  the  provisions  of  section  one  thousand
    53  eighty-six  of  this  chapter.  Provided,  however,  the  provisions  of

    55  notwithstanding, no interest will be paid thereon.

        S. 4009--C                         18                         A. 3009--C

     5  in section forty-eight of this chapter, against the tax imposed by  this
     6  article.
     7    (2)  Application  of credit. If the amount of the credit allowed under
     8  this subsection for the taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such
     9  year, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credit-
    10  ed or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six  hundred
    11  eighty-six  of this article, provided, however, that no interest will be
    12  paid thereon.
    13    § 5. Subparagraph (B) of paragraph 1 of subsection (i) of section  606
    14  of the tax law is amended by adding a new clause (l) to read as follows:
    15  (l) Child care creation and          Amount of credit
    16  expansion tax credit under           under subdivision fifty-nine

    24  article.
    25    (2) Application of credit. The credit allowed under  this  subdivision
    26  shall  not  reduce the tax due for such year to be less than the minimum
    27  fixed by paragraph four of subdivision (a) of  section  fifteen  hundred
    28  two  or  section  fifteen  hundred  two-a  of this article, whichever is
    29  applicable.  However, if the amount of the  credit  allowed  under  this
    30  subdivision  for  any  taxable  year  reduces the taxpayer's tax to such
    31  amount, any amount of credit thus not deductible will be treated  as  an
    32  overpayment  of  tax  to  be credited or refunded in accordance with the
    33  provisions  of  section  one  thousand  eighty-six  of   this   chapter.
    34  Provided,  however,  the  provisions  of  subsection (c) of one thousand
    35  eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no interest shall be  paid
    36  thereon.
    37    § 7. This act shall take effect immediately.

    14    2. The credit allowed by paragraph one of this  subdivision  shall  be
    15  applied  in  a manner consistent with the credit [allowed under subdivi-
    16  sion twelve-G of section two hundred ten of this chapter]  described  in

    27  employment, one hundred percent, except that in no case shall the credit
    28  allowed under this clause exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars  per
    29  calendar  year.  Provided, however, the increase in base year employment
    30  shall not apply to a taxpayer allowed a credit  under  this  subdivision
    31  that  was,  (i) located outside of the city, (ii) not doing business, or
    32  (iii) did not have any employees, in the year preceding the  first  year

    49  the city in the year preceding the first  calendar  year  in  which  the
    50  credit is claimed.
    51    (C)  For  the purposes of this subdivision, average number of individ-
    52  uals employed full-time shall be computed by adding the number  of  such
    53  individuals  employed  by the taxpayer at the end of each quarter during
    54  each calendar year or other applicable period and dividing  the  sum  so
    55  obtained  by  the number of such quarters occurring within such calendar
    56  year or other applicable period.]

     2  of the former property shall be combined with the period of ownership of
     3  the property for which application is made for exemption and such  peri-
     4  ods  of ownership shall be deemed to be consecutive for purposes of this
     5  section. Where a residence is sold and replaced with another within  one
     6  year  and  both residences are within the state, the period of ownership
     7  of both properties shall be  deemed  consecutive  for  purposes  of  the
     8  exemption from taxation by a municipality within the state granting such
     9  exemption. Where the owner or owners transfer title to property which as
    10  of  the  date  of  transfer  was exempt from taxation or PILOT under the
    11  provisions of this section, the reacquisition of title by such owner  or
    12  owners  within  nine  months  of the date of transfer shall be deemed to
    13  satisfy the requirement of this paragraph that the title of the property
    14  shall have been vested in the owner or one of the owners for such period
    15  of twelve consecutive months. Where, upon or subsequent to the death  of
    16  an owner or owners, title to property which as of the date of such death
    17  was exempt from taxation or PILOT under such provisions, becomes vested,
    18  by  virtue of devise or descent from the deceased owner or owners, or by
    19  transfer by any other means within nine months after such death,  solely
    20  in  a  person or persons who, at the time of such death, maintained such
    21  property as a primary residence, the requirement of this paragraph  that
    22  the  title of the property shall have been vested in the owner or one of
    23  the owners for such period of twelve consecutive months shall be  deemed
    24  satisfied;
    25    (c)  unless the property is used exclusively for residential purposes,
    26  provided, however, that in the event any portion of such property is not
    27  so used exclusively for residential  purposes  but  is  used  for  other
    28  purposes,  such  portion  shall  be subject to taxation or PILOT and the
    29  remaining portion only shall be entitled to the  exemption  provided  by
    30  this section;
    31    (d) unless the real property is the legal residence of and is occupied
    32  in  whole or in part by the owner or by all of the owners of the proper-
    33  ty: except where, (i) an  owner  is  absent  from  the  residence  while
    34  receiving  health-related  care  as an inpatient of a residential health
    35  care facility, as defined in section twenty-eight  hundred  one  of  the
    36  public  health  law,  provided  that  any income accruing to that person
    37  shall only be income only to the extent that it exceeds the amount  paid
    38  by  such  owner,  spouse,  or  co-owner  for  care  in the facility, and
    39  provided further, that during such  confinement  such  property  is  not
    40  occupied  by  other  than the spouse or co-owner of such owner; or, (ii)
    41  the real property is owned by a [husband and/or wife, or  an  ex-husband
    42  and/or an ex-wife, and either] married person or a married couple, or by
    43  a  formerly  married person or a formerly married couple, and one spouse
    44  or ex-spouse is absent from the residence due to  divorce,  legal  sepa-
    45  ration  or  abandonment and all other provisions of this section are met
    46  provided that where  an  exemption  was  previously  granted  when  both
    47  resided  on the property, then the person remaining on the real property
    48  shall be sixty-two years of age or over.
    49    § 3. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3-a of section 467 of the real prop-
    50  erty tax law, as amended by section 1 of part B of chapter  686  of  the
    51  laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
    52    (a)  For  the  purposes of this section, title to that portion of real
    53  property owned  by  a  cooperative  apartment  corporation  in  which  a
    54  tenant-stockholder  of such corporation resides and which is represented
    55  by [his] the tenant-stockholder's share  or  shares  of  stock  in  such
    56  corporation  as  determined by its or their proportional relationship to

        S. 4009--C                         39                         A. 3009--C
 
     1  the total outstanding stock of the corporation, including that owned  by
     2  the  corporation, shall be deemed to be vested in such tenant-stockhold-
     3  er.
     4    §  4.  Subdivisions  5 and 5-a of section 467 of the real property tax
     5  law, as amended by section 1 of part B of chapter 686  of  the  laws  of
     6  2022, are amended to read as follows:
     7    5. Application for such exemption must be made by the owner, or all of
     8  the  owners  of the property, on forms prescribed by the commissioner to
     9  be furnished by the appropriate assessing authority  and  shall  furnish
    10  the  information and be executed in the manner required or prescribed in
    11  such forms, and shall be filed in such assessor's office  on  or  before
    12  the appropriate taxable status date. Notwithstanding any other provision
    13  of law, at the option of the municipal corporation, any person otherwise
    14  qualifying  under  this  section shall not be denied the exemption under
    15  this section if [he] such person becomes sixty-five years of  age  after
    16  the  appropriate  taxable  status date and on or before December thirty-
    17  first of the same year.
    18    5-a. Any local law or ordinance adopted pursuant to paragraph  (a)  of
    19  subdivision  one of this section may be amended, or a local law or ordi-
    20  nance may be adopted to provide,  notwithstanding  subdivision  five  of
    21  this  section,  that an application for such exemption may be filed with
    22  the assessor after the appropriate taxable status  date  but  not  later
    23  than  the  last  date  on which a petition with respect to complaints of
    24  assessment may be filed, where failure  to  file  a  timely  application
    25  resulted  from:  (a)  a death of the applicant's spouse, child, parent[,
    26  brother or sister] or sibling; or (b) an illness of the applicant or  of
    27  the  applicant's  spouse, child, parent[, brother or sister] or sibling,
    28  which actually prevents the applicant from filing on a timely basis,  as
    29  certified  by  a  licensed physician. The assessor shall approve or deny
    30  such application as if it had been filed on or before the taxable status
    31  date.
    32    § 5. Subdivision 6 of section 467 of the real  property  tax  law,  as
    33  amended  by  section  1 of part B of chapter 686 of the laws of 2022, is
    34  amended to read as follows:
    35    6. (a) At least sixty days prior to  the  appropriate  taxable  status
    36  date,  the assessing authority shall mail to each person who was granted
    37  exemption pursuant to this section on the  latest  completed  assessment
    38  roll  an  application  form  and  a notice that such application must be
    39  filed on or before the taxable status date and be approved in order  for
    40  the exemption to be granted. The assessing authority shall, within three
    41  days  of  the  completion  and  filing of the tentative assessment roll,
    42  notify by mail any applicant [who has included with his] whose  applica-
    43  tion  includes  at  least  one self-addressed, pre-paid envelope, of the
    44  approval or denial of  the  application;  provided,  however,  that  the
    45  assessing  authority  shall, upon the receipt and filing of the applica-
    46  tion, send by mail notification of receipt  to  any  applicant  who  has
    47  included  two of such envelopes with the application. Where an applicant
    48  is entitled to a notice of denial pursuant  to  this  subdivision,  such
    49  notice shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioner and shall state
    50  the  reasons  for such denial and shall further state that the applicant
    51  may have such determination reviewed in  the  manner  provided  by  law.
    52  Failure  to  mail any such application form or notices or the failure of
    53  such person to receive any of the  same  shall  not  prevent  the  levy,
    54  collection and enforcement of the payment of the taxes or PILOT on prop-
    55  erty owned by such person.

        S. 4009--C                         40                         A. 3009--C
 
     1    (b)  Except  in cities of one million or more, any person who has been
     2  granted exemption pursuant to  this  section  on  five  (5)  consecutive
     3  completed  assessment  rolls, including any years when the exemption was
     4  granted to a property owned by [a husband and/or wife] a married  person
     5  or  a  married couple while both spouses resided in such property, shall
     6  not be subject to the requirements set forth in paragraph  (a)  of  this
     7  subdivision  provided  the  governing board of the municipality in which
     8  said property is situated after public hearing adopts a local law, ordi-
     9  nance or resolution providing therefor  however  said  person  shall  be
    10  mailed  an  application form and a notice [informing him of his] setting
    11  forth such person's rights. Such exemption shall be automatically grant-
    12  ed on each subsequent assessment roll. Provided, however, that when  tax
    13  payment  is  made by such person a sworn affidavit must be included with
    14  such payment which shall state that such person continues to be eligible
    15  for such exemption. Such affidavit shall be on a form prescribed by  the
    16  commissioner.  If  such  affidavit is not included with the tax payment,
    17  the collecting officer shall proceed pursuant to  section  five  hundred
    18  fifty-one-a of this chapter.
    19    (c)  In cities of one million or more, any person who has been granted
    20  exemption pursuant to this section shall file the completed  application
    21  with  the  appropriate assessing authority every twenty-four months from
    22  the date such exemption was granted without the necessity of having been
    23  granted exemption pursuant to  this  section  on  five  (5)  consecutive
    24  completed  assessment  rolls  including any years when the exemption was
    25  granted to a property owned by [a husband and/or wife] a married  person
    26  or a married couple while both spouses resided in such property.
    27    §  6.  Subdivision 8-a of section 467 of the real property tax law, as
    28  amended by section 1 of part B of chapter 686 of the laws  of  2022,  is
    29  amended to read as follows:
    30    8-a.  Notwithstanding  any provision of law to the contrary, the local
    31  governing body of a municipal corporation that is authorized to adopt  a
    32  local  law  pursuant  to  subdivision  eight  of this section is further
    33  authorized to adopt a local law providing that where a renewal  applica-
    34  tion  for the exemption authorized by this section has not been filed on
    35  or before the taxable status date, and  the  owner  believes  that  good
    36  cause  existed  for  the failure to file the renewal application by that
    37  date, the owner may, no later than the last  day  for  paying  taxes  or
    38  PILOT without incurring interest or penalty, submit a written request to
    39  the assessor asking [him or her] the assessor to extend the filing dead-
    40  line  and grant the exemption. Such request shall contain an explanation
    41  of why the deadline was missed, and shall be accompanied  by  a  renewal
    42  application,  reflecting  the facts and circumstances as they existed on
    43  the taxable status date. The assessor may extend the filing deadline and
    44  grant the exemption if [he or she] the assessor is  satisfied  that  (i)
    45  good  cause  existed  for the failure to file the renewal application by
    46  the taxable status date, and that (ii) the applicant is otherwise  enti-
    47  tled  to the exemption. The assessor shall make a determination and mail
    48  notice [of his or her determination] thereof to the owner. If the deter-
    49  mination states that the assessor has granted the exemption, [he or she]
    50  the assessor shall thereupon be authorized and directed to  correct  the
    51  assessment  roll  accordingly,  or,  if  another  person  has custody or
    52  control of the assessment roll, to direct that person to make the appro-
    53  priate corrections. If the correction  is  not  made  before  taxes  are
    54  levied,  the  failure to take the exemption into account in the computa-
    55  tion of the tax shall be deemed a "clerical error" for purposes of title

     2  ly.

    10  or real property owned by one or more  persons,  some  of  whom  qualify
    11  under  this  section  and  the others of whom qualify under section four
    12  hundred sixty-seven of  this  title,  and  whose  income,  as  hereafter
    13  defined,  is  limited by reason of such disability, shall be exempt from
    14  payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to the battery city park authority  or
    15  from  taxation  by  any  municipal  corporation  in which located to the
    16  extent of fifty per centum of the assessed valuation thereof as  herein-

    14  depreciation  deduction  shall  be  allowed for the exhaustion, wear and
    15  tear of real or personal property held for the production of income]

    24  provided  further,  that  when  determining  income for purposes of this
    25  section, the following conditions shall be applicable:

    34  adopts a local law, ordinance or resolution providing otherwise;
    35    (3)  the  applicant's  income  shall  be  offset  by  all  medical and

    38  after  a  public  hearing,  adopts  a local law, ordinance or resolution
    39  providing therefor;

    23  read as follows:
    24    1. There is hereby imposed and shall be paid a tax on  all  cigarettes
    25  possessed  in the state by any person for sale, except that no tax shall
    26  be imposed on cigarettes sold under such circumstances that  this  state
    27  is  without power to impose such tax, including sales to qualified Indi-
    28  ans for their own use and consumption on their nations' or tribes' qual-
    29  ified reservation, or sold to the United States  or  sold  to  or  by  a
    30  voluntary  unincorporated organization of the armed forces of the United
    31  States operating a place for the sale of goods pursuant  to  regulations
    32  promulgated by the appropriate executive agency of the United States, to
    33  the extent provided in such regulations and policy statements of such an
    34  agency  applicable  to  such  sales.  The tax imposed by this section is
    35  imposed on all cigarettes sold on an Indian reservation  to  non-members
    36  of  the  Indian  nation or tribe and to non-Indians and evidence of such
    37  tax shall be by means of an affixed cigarette tax stamp. Indian  nations
    38  or  tribes  may  elect to participate in the Indian tax exemption coupon
    39  system established in section four hundred seventy-one-e of this article
    40  which provides a mechanism for the collection of the tax imposed by this
    41  section on cigarette sales on qualified reservations to such non-members
    42  and non-Indians and for the delivery of quantities of  tax-exempt  ciga-
    43  rettes  to Indian nations or tribes for the personal use and consumption
    44  of qualified members of the Indian nation or tribe. If an Indian  nation
    45  or  tribe  does  not  elect  to  participate in the Indian tax exemption
    46  coupon system, the prior approval system shall be the mechanism for  the
    47  delivery  of  quantities  of  tax-exempt cigarettes to Indian nations or
    48  tribes for the personal use and consumption of qualified members of  the
    49  Indian  nation  or tribe as provided for in paragraph (b) of subdivision
    50  five of this section. Such tax on cigarettes shall be  at  the  rate  of
    51  [four]  five dollars and thirty-five cents for each twenty cigarettes or
    52  fraction thereof, provided, however, that if  a  package  of  cigarettes

        S. 4009--C                         48                         A. 3009--C

     2  in such package in excess of twenty shall  be  one  dollar  and  [eight]
     3  thirty-three  and three-quarters cents for each five cigarettes or frac-
     4  tion  thereof.  Such tax is intended to be imposed upon only one sale of
     5  the same package of cigarettes. It shall be presumed that all cigarettes
     6  within the state are subject to tax until the contrary  is  established,
     7  and  the  burden  of proof that any cigarettes are not taxable hereunder
     8  shall be upon the person in possession thereof.
     9    § 2.  Section 471-a of the tax law, as amended by section 5 of part  D
    10  of chapter 134 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
    11    §  471-a.  Use tax on cigarettes. There is hereby imposed and shall be
    12  paid a tax on all cigarettes used in the state  by  any  person,  except
    13  that  no  tax  shall  be imposed (1) if the tax provided in section four
    14  hundred seventy-one of this article is paid, (2) on  the  use  of  ciga-
    15  rettes  which are exempt from the tax imposed by said section, or (3) on
    16  the use of four hundred or less cigarettes, brought into the  state  on,
    17  or  in the possession of, any person. Such tax on cigarettes shall be at
    18  the rate of [four] five dollars and thirty-five cents  for  each  twenty
    19  cigarettes  or fraction thereof, provided, however, that if a package of
    20  cigarettes contains more than twenty cigarettes, the rate of tax on  the
    21  cigarettes  in  such package in excess of twenty shall be one dollar and
    22  [eight] thirty-three and three-quarters cents for each  five  cigarettes
    23  or  fraction  thereof.  Within twenty-four hours after liability for the
    24  tax accrues, each such person shall file with the commissioner a  return
    25  in  such  form  as the commissioner may prescribe together with a remit-
    26  tance of the tax shown to be due thereon. For purposes of this  article,
    27  the  word  "use"  means  the  exercise  of  any right or power actual or
    28  constructive and shall include but is not limited to the receipt,  stor-
    29  age  or  any  keeping or retention for any length of time, but shall not
    30  include possession for sale. All other provisions of this article if not
    31  inconsistent shall apply to the administration and  enforcement  of  the
    32  tax  imposed  by  this  section in the same manner as if the language of
    33  said provisions had been incorporated in full into this section.
    34    § 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the  contrary,  the
    35  tax  due  on  cigarettes  possessed in New York state as of the close of
    36  business on August 31, 2023, by any person for sale solely  attributable
    37  to the increase imposed by the amendments to section 471 of the tax law,
    38  as  amended  by  section  one of this act, shall be paid by November 20,
    39  2023, subject to such terms and conditions as the commissioner of  taxa-
    40  tion and finance shall prescribe.
    41    §  4. This act shall take effect on September 1, 2023, and shall apply
    42  to all cigarettes possessed in this state by any person for sale and all
    43  cigarettes used in this state by any person on or after such date.

    15  this section. In addition, notice of such revocation shall also be given
    16  to the state liquor  authority  and  such  revocation  shall  constitute
    17  cause,  for  purposes  of  section one hundred eighteen of the alcoholic
    18  beverage control law, for revocation, cancellation or suspension of  any

    25  their authority under this article, attempts to  inspect  such  premises
    26  for  a  violation  of  this section and such retail dealer, including an
    27  agent thereof, is found, after notice and opportunity to  be  heard,  to

    39  ness days after the receipt thereof, either as a demand  deposit  or  an

    11                                   PART X
 
    12    Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that it  is  in
    13  the  interests  of  the state to assist The New York Racing Association,
    14  Inc., which is  the  franchised  corporation  pursuant  to  section  two
    15  hundred  six  of  the  racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, to
    16  renovate Belmont Park racetrack and  repurpose  the  Aqueduct  property.
    17  The  legislature  further finds and determines that the anticipated cost
    18  of renovating Belmont Park racetrack is four hundred fifty-five  million
    19  dollars and that the renovation of Belmont Park racetrack shall initial-
    20  ly  be  financed by the state subject to the provisions of the repayment
    21  agreement of the franchised corporation required by section two of  this
    22  act. The franchised corporation will be responsible for repayment of the
    23  state funds in accordance with the terms of such repayment agreement.
    24    §  2.  Prior  to,  and as a condition to the state initially providing
    25  funds for the renovation  of  Belmont  Park  racetrack,  the  franchised
    26  corporation shall enter into a repayment agreement with the state acting
    27  through  the budget director authorizing and directing that a portion of
    28  the funds of the franchised corporation dedicated for  capital  expendi-
    29  tures  of the franchised corporation pursuant to paragraph 3 of subdivi-
    30  sion f and paragraph 3 of subdivision f-1 of section 1612 of the tax law
    31  shall be used to repay the state for the funds provided by the state for
    32  the renovation of Belmont Park racetrack, in accordance with the  repay-
    33  ment agreement between the state and the franchised corporation. For the
    34  purposes  of this act, the terms "renovate", "renovation", and "renovat-
    35  ing" are limited to any and all construction funded by  and  subject  to
    36  the  repayment  agreement  required  by subparagraph (ii) of the opening
    37  paragraph of paragraph 3 of subdivision f of section  1612  of  the  tax
    38  law. Such agreement shall further provide that:
    39    (1)  in the event the franchised corporation receives future statutory
    40  payments enacted for the specific  purpose  of  holding  the  franchised
    41  corporation harmless for any loss of payments pursuant to paragraph 3 of
    42  subdivision  f and paragraph 3 of subdivision f-1 of section 1612 of the
    43  tax law, such statutory payments shall also be used to repay  the  state
    44  for  the  funds provided by the state for the renovation of Belmont Park
    45  racetrack;
    46    (2) the franchised corporation shall provide to  the  franchise  over-
    47  sight  board,  as  an  exhibit  to  the  agreement,  descriptions of the
    48  construction work to be paid for with the loan provided by the state  to
    49  the  franchised  corporation, which may include but shall not be limited
    50  to renderings, reports, and construction goals; provided  however,  that
    51  the  franchise  oversight board shall make such exhibit available on its
    52  website at least thirty days prior to execution of such  agreement;  and
    53  provided  further, that the franchise oversight board shall receive such
    54  exhibit at least sixty days prior to execution of such agreement;

        S. 4009--C                         54                         A. 3009--C

     1    (3) the franchise oversight board shall include a requirement  in  any
     2  request   for  proposals  for  such  renovation  that  any  projects  in
     3  connection with such work shall only be undertaken pursuant to a project
     4  labor agreement in accordance with section 222 of the labor law. For the
     5  purposes of this section, "project labor agreement" shall have the mean-
     6  ing set forth in subdivision 1 of section 213 of the racing, pari-mutuel
     7  wagering and breeding law;
     8    (4) for purposes of article 15-A of the executive law and article 3 of
     9  the  veterans'  services  law, the franchised corporation and any person
    10  entering into a contract for any project authorized pursuant to this act
    11  shall be deemed a state agency as such term is defined in such  articles
    12  and such contracts shall be deemed state contracts within the meaning of
    13  such  term as set forth in such articles. Additionally it must be demon-
    14  strated that:
    15    (i) the franchised corporation and its contractors and  subcontractors
    16  have  made  significant  efforts  to attract and retain minority, women,
    17  local, and  veteran apprentices; and (ii) the franchised corporation and
    18  its contractors and subcontractors have committed to work with  minority
    19  and  women  owned  business  enterprises pursuant to article 15-A of the
    20  executive law through joint ventures or subcontractor relationships;
    21    (5) the franchised  corporation  shall  establish  affirmative  action
    22  goals  to  provide  equal  employment  opportunities  to  all employees,
    23  including minorities,  women  and  persons  with  disabilities,  at  the
    24  Belmont Park racetrack;
    25    (6)  the  franchise  oversight  board  shall consult with the New York
    26  state energy research and development authority to determine what energy
    27  efficiencies may  be  realized  with  the  Belmont  project,  which  may
    28  include,  but  not  be  limited to, the number of zero emissions vehicle
    29  charging facilities, use of  geothermal  networks,  mini-split  systems,
    30  solar  photovoltaic  technologies,  energy  storage, and other renewable
    31  energy opportunities that the authority finds sufficient;
    32    (7) the franchise oversight board shall ensure that, subsequent to the
    33  franchised corporation relinquishing to the state its leasehold interest
    34  in real property located in South Ozone Park, commonly known as Aqueduct
    35  Racetrack, the franchised corporation shall, in  good  faith,  take  all
    36  commercially  reasonable  steps to ensure that, upon closure of Aqueduct
    37  Racetrack, any individual who was employed by the franchised corporation
    38  and held a full time equivalent job at  Aqueduct  Racetrack  or  Belmont
    39  Park  racetrack during the year two thousand twenty-three and has a full
    40  time equivalent job at the time the  franchised  corporation  terminates
    41  all  races  at  Aqueduct  and  moves all operations to Belmont, shall be
    42  offered an opportunity to continue to work at the Belmont Park racetrack
    43  in a comparable position with access to the same or  greater  number  of
    44  work hours and at the same or greater rate of pay; and
    45    (8) such agreement shall be subject to approval of the franchise over-
    46  sight board; provided, further, that the gaming commission shall publish
    47  such  agreement  on its website. Such agreement may also be amended from
    48  time to time as agreed to by the state and the  franchised  corporation;
    49  provided however, that such amendment must comply with the provisions of
    50  this act.  At any time prior to the repayment of the state funds for the
    51  renovation of Belmont Park racetrack, the state may issue state personal

     1    § 3. Prior to, and as a condition of, the  state  initially  providing
     2  funds  for  the  renovation  of  Belmont  Park racetrack, the franchised
     3  corporation shall also enter into an agreement  with  the  state  relin-
     4  quishing to the state its leasehold interest in real property located in

    25  corporation, the term of any  such  franchise  agreement  awarded  after
    26  funding  provided  by the state for the renovation of Belmont Park race-
    27  track described by section one of this act  shall  include  a  provision
    28  obligating  such  franchisee  to  assume  the payments of the franchised
    29  corporation required by section two of this act.

     9  betting  corporation,  authorized  to conduct pari-mutuel wagering under
    10  this chapter, desiring to display the simulcast of horse races on  which
    11  pari-mutuel  betting shall be permitted in the manner and subject to the
    12  conditions provided for in this article may apply to the commission  for

    15  or  other material or evidence as the commission may require. No license
    16  shall be issued by the commission authorizing the simulcast transmission
    17  of thoroughbred races from a track located in Suffolk  county.  The  fee
    18  for  such  licenses shall be five hundred dollars per simulcast facility
    19  and for account wagering licensees that do not operate either  a  simul-
    20  cast facility that is open to the public within the state of New York or

    33  contracting  off-track  betting  corporations which shall include wagers
    34  made in accordance with  section  one  thousand  fifteen,  one  thousand
    35  sixteen  and  one  thousand  seventeen of this article; provided further

    39  corporation  having  within  its  geographic boundaries such residences,
    40  homes or other areas technically  capable  of  receiving  the  simulcast
    41  signal  shall be a contracting party; (iii) the distribution of revenues
    42  shall be subject to contractual agreement of  the  parties  except  that
    43  statutory  payments  to  non-contracting  parties,  if  any,  may not be

     6  the  parties  as will permit continuation of an in-home experiment until

    22  commissions  determined  by  comparing  the  total commissions available
    23  after July twenty-first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-five  to  the  total
    24  commissions  that  would have been available to such track prior to July

    31  twenty-four, using the financial projections for the state  fiscal  year
    32  that  commences in the year for which the rate is to be set as reflected
