4 | | (a-1) There For taxable years that begin on or after |
5 | | January 1, 2018 and end prior to January 1, 2022, there shall |
6 | | be allowed a tax credit against the tax imposed by subsections |
7 | | (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act in an aggregate amount |
8 | | equal to 25% of qualified expenditures incurred by a qualified |
9 | | taxpayer in the restoration and preservation of a qualified |
10 | | historic structure located in a River Edge Redevelopment Zone |
11 | | pursuant to a qualified rehabilitation plan, provided that the |
12 | | total amount of such expenditures must (i) equal $5,000 or |
13 | | more and (ii) exceed the adjusted basis of the qualified |
14 | | historic structure on the first day the qualified |
15 | | rehabilitation plan begins. For any rehabilitation project, |
16 | | regardless of duration or number of phases, the project's |
17 | | compliance with the foregoing provisions (i) and (ii) shall be |
18 | | determined based on the aggregate amount of qualified |
19 | | expenditures for the entire project and may include |
20 | | expenditures incurred under subsection (a), this subsection, |
21 | | or both subsection (a) and this subsection. If the qualified |
22 | | rehabilitation plan spans multiple years, the aggregate credit |
23 | | for the entire project shall be allowed in the last taxable |

2 | | and (ii) of this subsection; (B) the rehabilitated portion of |
3 | | the qualified historic structure must be placed in service; |
4 | | and (C) the requirements of subsection (b) must be met. |
5 | | The credit under this subsection (a-1) shall be allowed |
6 | | for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and |
7 | | beginning on or before January 1, 2031; however, no such |
8 | | credit shall be allowed for a project that does not begin |
9 | | incurring qualified rehabilitation expenditures prior to |
10 | | January 1, 2027. |
11 | | (a-2) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, |
12 | | 2021 and ending prior to January 1, 2022, there shall be |
13 | | allowed a tax credit against the tax imposed by subsections |
14 | | (a) and (b) of Section 201 as provided in Section 10-10.3 of |

16 | | under this subsection (a-2) shall apply only to taxpayers that |
17 | | make a capital investment of at least $1,000,000 in a |
18 | | qualified rehabilitation plan. |
19 | | The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's |
20 | | liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or |
21 | | credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be |
22 | | carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability |
23 | | in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under |
24 | | paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits |
25 | | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax |
26 | | liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable |

| | 10200SB1823sam002 | - 4 - | LRB102 15347 HLH 25785 a |
|
|
1 | | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier |
2 | | credit shall be applied first. |
3 | | For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, |
4 | | and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability |
5 | | company is treated as a partnership for the purposes of |
6 | | federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a |
7 | | credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with |
8 | | the determination of income and distributive share of income |
9 | | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal |
10 | | Revenue Code. |
11 | | The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under the |
12 | | Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of this amendatory Act of the |
13 | | 101st General Assembly) shall not exceed $20,000,000 in any |
14 | | State fiscal year. |
15 | | (b) To obtain a tax credit pursuant to this Section, the |
16 | | taxpayer must apply with the Department of Natural Resources. |
17 | | The Department of Natural Resources shall determine the amount |
18 | | of eligible rehabilitation costs and expenses in addition to |
19 | | the amount of the River Edge construction jobs credit within |
20 | | 45 days of receipt of a complete application. The taxpayer |
21 | | must submit a certification of costs prepared by an |
22 | | independent certified public accountant that certifies (i) the |
23 | | project expenses, (ii) whether those expenses are qualified |
24 | | expenditures, and (iii) that the qualified expenditures exceed |
25 | | the adjusted basis of the qualified historic structure on the |
26 | | first day the qualified rehabilitation plan commenced. The |
|

|
|
1 | | Department of Natural Resources is authorized, but not |
2 | | required, to accept this certification of costs to determine |
3 | | the amount of qualified expenditures and the amount of the |
4 | | credit. The Department of Natural Resources shall provide |
5 | | guidance as to the minimum standards to be followed in the |
6 | | preparation of such certification. The Department of Natural |
7 | | Resources and the National Park Service shall determine |
8 | | whether the rehabilitation is consistent with the United |
9 | | States Secretary of the Interior's Standards for |
10 | | Rehabilitation. |
11 | | (b-1) Upon completion of the project and approval of the |
12 | | complete application, the Department of Natural Resources |
13 | | shall issue a single certificate in the amount of the eligible |
14 | | credits equal to 25% of qualified expenditures incurred during |
15 | | the eligible taxable years, as defined in subsections (a) , and |
16 | | (a-1), and (a-3), excepting any credits awarded under |
17 | | subsection (a) prior to January 1, 2019 (the effective date of |
18 | | Public Act 100-629) and any phased credits issued prior to the |
19 | | eligible taxable year under subsection (a-1). At the time the |
20 | | certificate is issued, an issuance fee up to the maximum |
21 | | amount of 2% of the amount of the credits issued by the |
22 | | certificate may be collected from the applicant to administer |
23 | | the provisions of this Section. If collected, this issuance |
24 | | fee shall be deposited into the Historic Property |
25 | | Administrative Fund, a special fund created in the State |
26 | | treasury. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the Historic |

2 | | Department of Natural Resources as reimbursement for the costs |
3 | | associated with administering this Section. |
4 | | (c) The taxpayer must attach the certificate to the tax |
5 | | return on which the credits are to be claimed. The tax credit |
6 | | under this Section may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to |
7 | | less than
zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax |
8 | | liability for the year, the excess credit may be carried |
9 | | forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years |
10 | | following the excess credit year. |
11 | | (c-1) Subject to appropriation, moneys in the Historic |
12 | | Property Administrative Fund shall be used, on a biennial |
13 | | basis beginning at the end of the second fiscal year after |
14 | | January 1, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 100-629), to |
15 | | hire a qualified third party to prepare a biennial report to |
16 | | assess the overall economic impact to the State from the |
17 | | qualified rehabilitation projects under this Section completed |
18 | | in that year and in previous years. The overall economic |
19 | | impact shall include at least: (1) the direct and indirect or |
20 | | induced economic impacts of completed projects; (2) temporary, |
21 | | permanent, and construction jobs created; (3) sales, income, |
22 | | and property tax generation before, during construction, and |
23 | | after completion; and (4) indirect neighborhood impact after |
24 | | completion. The report shall be submitted to the Governor and |
25 | | the General Assembly. The report to the General Assembly shall |
26 | | be filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the |
