     2  year  during  the period two thousand fifteen through two thousand twen-
     3  ty-four of the annual allocation made available to the program  pursuant
     4  to  paragraph  four  of  subdivision (e) of this section. Such aggregate
     5  amount of credits shall be allocated by the governor's office for motion
     6  picture and television development among taxpayers in order of  priority
     7  based  upon  the  date  of  filing an application for allocation of film
     8  production credit with such office.  If the total  amount  of  allocated
     9  credits  applied for under this paragraph in any year exceeds the aggre-

    12  of  the  next year. If the total amount of allocated tax credits applied
    13  for under this paragraph at the conclusion of any year is less than five
    14  million dollars, the remainder shall be treated as part  of  the  annual
    15  allocation  made  available to the program pursuant to paragraph four of
    16  subdivision (e) of this section. However, in no event may the  total  of
    17  the  credits  allocated  under  this paragraph and the credits allocated

    19  article  exceed  [five]  fifteen  million dollars in any year during the
    20  period two thousand fifteen through two thousand twenty-four.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect April 1, 2020.
