 Introduced by M. of A. BENDETT -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Ways and Means

 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a small busi-
 ness tax credit for certain efforts taken to improve such small busi-
 ness's facility in an effort to reduce the spread of infectious
 diseases

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 210-B of the tax law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 61 to read as follows:
 3 61. Small business tax credit; infectious disease mitigation. (a)
 4 General. A taxpayer that is a small business shall be allowed a credit,
 5 to be computed as provided in this subdivision, against the tax imposed
 6 by this article for efforts taken to improve such taxpayer's facility in
 7 an effort to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
 8 (b) Amount of credit. A credit authorized by this section shall be
 9 equal to the amount of money spent by an eligible taxpayer to construct,
 10 install, build, and/or equip such taxpayer's facility with new amenities
 11 primarily intended to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, but
 12 shall not exceed five thousand dollars total for each location where
 13 such new amenities have been constructed, installed, built, and/or
 14 equipped.
 15 (c) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subdivision for any taxa-
 16 ble year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the
 17 amount prescribed in paragraph (d) of subdivision one of section two
 18 hundred ten of this article. However, if the amount of credit allowable
 19 under this subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such
 20 amount or if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on the fixed dollar
 21 minimum amount, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year
 22 may be carried over to the following three years, and may be deducted
 23 from the qualified employer's tax for such years.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 (d) Definitions. As used in this subdivision, the term "small busi-
 2 ness" shall mean any business having fifty or fewer employees.
 3 (e) Claim of credit. A taxpayer shall not be allowed to claim this

 5 been claimed for another tax credit under this chapter.
 6 § 2. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
 7 (qqq) to read as follows:
 8 (qqq) Small business tax credit; infectious disease mitigation. (1)
 9 General. A taxpayer that is a small business shall be allowed a credit,
 10 to be computed as provided in this subsection, against the tax imposed

 13 (2) Amount of credit. A credit authorized by this section shall be
 14 equal to the amount of money spent by an eligible taxpayer to construct,
 15 install, build, and/or equip such taxpayer's facility with new amenities
 16 primarily intended to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, but
 17 shall not exceed five thousand dollars total for each location where

 19 equipped.
 20 (3) Carryover. The credit allowed under this subsection for any taxa-
 21 ble year shall not reduce the tax due for such year to less than the
 22 amount prescribed in paragraph
