| 1 | | aggregate amount equal to 25% of qualified expenditures | 2 | | incurred by a qualified taxpayer in the restoration and | 3 | | preservation of a qualified historic structure located in a | 4 | | River Edge Redevelopment Zone pursuant to a qualified | 5 | | rehabilitation plan, provided that the total amount of such | 6 | | expenditures must : (i) equal $5,000 or more ; and (ii) exceed | 7 | | the adjusted basis of the qualified historic structure on the | 8 | | first day the qualified rehabilitation plan begins ; and (iii) | 9 | | be a part of a qualified rehabilitation plan or phase of a | 10 | | qualified rehabilitation plan that received final approval to | 11 | | begin the expenditures no later than December 31, 2026 . For | 12 | | any rehabilitation project, regardless of duration or number | 13 | | of phases, the project's compliance with the foregoing | 14 | | provisions (i) and (ii) shall be determined based on the | 15 | | aggregate amount of qualified expenditures for the entire | 16 | | project and may include expenditures incurred under subsection | 17 | | (a), this subsection, or both subsection (a) and this | 18 | | subsection. If the qualified rehabilitation plan spans | 19 | | multiple years, the aggregate credit for the entire project | 20 | | shall be allowed in the last taxable year, except for phased | 21 | | rehabilitation projects, which may receive credits upon | 22 | | completion of each phase. Before obtaining the first phased | 23 | | credit: (A) the total amount of such expenditures must meet | 24 | | the requirements of provisions (i) and (ii) of this | 25 | | subsection; (B) the rehabilitated portion of the qualified | 26 | | historic structure must be placed in service; and (C) the |

|
| 1 | | requirements of subsection (b) must be met. | 2 | | (a-2) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, | 3 | | 2021 and ending prior to January 1, 2022, there shall be | 4 | | allowed a tax credit against the tax imposed by subsections | 5 | | (a) and (b) of Section 201 as provided in Section 10-10.3 of | 6 | | the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act. The credit allowed | 7 | | under this subsection (a-2) shall apply only to taxpayers that | 8 | | make a capital investment of at least $1,000,000 in a | 9 | | qualified rehabilitation plan. | 10 | | The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's | 11 | | liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or | 12 | | credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be | 13 | | carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability | 14 | | in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under | 15 | | paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits | 16 | | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | 17 | | liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable | 18 | | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | 19 | | credit shall be applied first. | 20 | | For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, | 21 | | and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability | 22 | | company is treated as a partnership for the purposes of | 23 | | federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a | 24 | | credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with | 25 | | the determination of income and distributive share of income | 26 | | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal |

The taxpayer | 12 | | must submit a certification of costs prepared by an | 13 | | independent certified public accountant that certifies (i) the | 14 | | project expenses, (ii) whether those expenses are qualified | 15 | | expenditures, and (iii) that the qualified expenditures exceed | 16 | | the adjusted basis of the qualified historic structure on the | 17 | | first day the qualified rehabilitation plan commenced. The | 18 | | Department of Natural Resources is authorized, but not | 19 | | required, to accept this certification of costs to determine | 20 | | the amount of qualified expenditures and the amount of the | 21 | | credit. The Department of Natural Resources shall provide | 22 | | guidance as to the minimum standards to be followed in the | 23 | | preparation of such certification. The Department of Natural | 24 | | Resources and the National Park Service shall determine | 25 | | whether the rehabilitation is consistent with the United | 26 | | States Secretary of the Interior's Standards for |

At the time the | 11 | | certificate is issued, an issuance fee up to the maximum | 12 | | amount of 2% of the amount of the credits issued by the | 13 | | certificate may be collected from the applicant to administer | 14 | | the provisions of this Section. If collected, this issuance | 15 | | fee shall be deposited into the Historic Property | 16 | | Administrative Fund, a special fund created in the State | 17 | | treasury. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the Historic | 18 | | Property Administrative Fund shall be provided to the | 19 | | Department of Natural Resources as reimbursement for the costs | 20 | | associated with administering this Section. | 21 | | (c) The taxpayer must attach the certificate to the tax | 22 | | return on which the credits are to be claimed. The tax credit | 23 | | under this Section may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to | 24 | | less than
zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax | 25 | | liability for the year, the excess credit may be carried | 26 | | forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years |

The report to the General Assembly shall | 17 | | be filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the | 18 | | Secretary of the Senate in electronic form only, in the manner | 19 | | that the Clerk and the Secretary shall direct. | 20 | | (c-2) The Department of Natural Resources may adopt rules | 21 | | to implement this Section in addition to the rules expressly | 22 | | authorized in this Section. | 23 | | (d) As used in this Section, the following terms have the | 24 | | following meanings. | 25 | | "Phased rehabilitation" means a project that is completed | 26 | | in phases, as defined under Section 47 of the federal Internal |
