 IN SENATE

 March 30, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. C. RYAN, COMRIE, FERNANDEZ, JACKSON, MAY -- read
 twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the
 Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business

 AN ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to the defi-
 nition of business entity; and to amend the tax law, in relation to
 the allowance and application of the newspaper and broadcast media
 jobs tax credit

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

 1 Section 1. Section 492 of the economic development law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 14 to read as follows:
 3 14. "Business entity" shall include, but not be limited to, a not-for-
 4 profit corporation and a public television or radio corporation.
 5 § 2. Subdivision (a) of section 49 of the tax law, as amended by
 6 section 4 of part J of chapter 59 of the laws of 2025, is amended to
 7 read as follows:
 8 (a) Allowance of credit. A taxpayer subject to tax under article
 9 nine-A or article twenty-two of this chapter shall be allowed a credit
 10 against such tax, pursuant to the provisions referenced in subdivision
 11 (e) of this section. The amount of the credit is equal to the amount
 12 determined pursuant to article twenty-seven of the economic development
 13 law and shall be based on the certificates of tax credit issued to
 14 eligible businesses owned by the taxpayer or by an entity of which the
 15 taxpayer is a partner or shareholder. Notwithstanding that a taxpayer
 16 is not subject to tax under article nine-A or article twenty-two of this
 17 chapter, if the taxpayer is a corporation to which article one of the
 18 not-for-profit corporation law applies, or a public television or a
 19 radio corporation under section two hundred thirty-six of the education
 20 law, it shall be allowed a credit against the tax provided in this
 21 section. A taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership, member of a
 22 limited liability company or shareholder in a subchapter S corporation
 23 shall be allowed its pro-rata share of the credit allowed for the part-
 24 nership, limited liability company or subchapter S corporation. No cost
 25 or expense paid or incurred that is included as part of the calculation

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

 2 this chapter.
 3 § 3. Subparagraph 2 of subsection (ppp) of section 606 of the tax law,
 4 as added by section 5 of part AAA of chapter 56 of the laws of 2024, is
 5 amended to read as follows:
 6 (2) Application of credit. If the amount of the credit allowed under
 7 this subsection for the taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such
 8 year, or, if the taxpayer is a corporation to which article one of the
 9 not-for-profit corporation law applies or a public television or a radio
 10 corporation under section two hundred thirty-six of the education law,
 11 and has no tax for the credit allowed herein to offset, the excess shall
 12 be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in
 13 accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this
 14 article, provided, however, that no interest will be paid thereon.
 15 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to tax
