the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 771, as amended, Atkins. Personal income and corporation taxes:
credits: rehabilitation.
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow
various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws.
This bill would allow to a taxpayer that receives a tax credit
reservation allocation a credit against
those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1,
2016, and before January 1, 2024, 2021,
in an amount, determined in modified conformity with a specified
section of the Internal Revenue Code, for rehabilitation of certified
historic structures and, under the Personal Income Tax Law, for a
qualified residence. This bill would provide for a 20% credit, or 25%
credit, of qualified rehabilitation expenditures if the structure
meets specified criteria, for rehabilitation of a certified historic
structure or a qualified residence, as provided, within the state to
be reserved and allocated by the California Tax
Credit Allocation Committee, which shall consult with the Office of
Historic Preservation, as provided , and which may adopt a
reasonable fee to cover specified expenses. The aggregate amount of
credit would be $50,000,000 per calendar year, plus unused allocation
tax credit for the preceding year, $10,000,000 of which would be set
aside for rehabilitation projects with qualified rehabilitation
expenditures of less than $1,000,000, as specified. This bill would
require the Legislative Analyst to, on an annual basis, collaborate
with the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee to review the tax
credit, as provided.
This bill would make specified findings detailing the goals,
purposes, and objectives of the above-described tax credits,
performance indicators for determining whether the credits meet those
goals, purposes, and objectives, and data collection requirements.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that California'
s historic buildings are an important asset to communities throughout
the state, and that the preservation and restoration of these
buildings is important to enhancing civic pride, increasing tourism,
and maintaining vibrant neighborhoods.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares all of the
following:
(1) The federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program,
enacted by Congress in 1986, established a 20-percent tax credit for
the rehabilitation of historic structures, which remains
in effect today. Program activity in the amount of investment dollars
reached record highs in the 1990s, before declining during the
recent recession. With the economy in general, and the real estate
market in particular, rebounding over the last several years, the
amount of rehabilitation investment in proposed projects exceeded
$5.9 billion for the second time in the program's history. The avera
ge investment in completed projects in the 2014
-15 fiscal year was $4.32 million, the third highest amount in the
program's history. The program is currently available to
California's income producing historic properties, and has
generated nearly $1.5 billion in investment during the last 10
years.
(2) While 35 states have similar state tax credits or incentives
for historic preservation, no such incentive exists in California.
(3) When used with federal historic preservation tax credits,
state historic rehabilitation tax credits provide an important
financial incentive for reinvestment in the historic cores of
communities in the post-redevelopment economy. Historic preservation
tax incentives generate jobs, enhance property values, create
affordable housing, and augment revenues for federal, state, and
local governments. Through the federal program, vacant or
underutilized schools, warehouses, factories, apartments, churches,
retail stores, hotels, houses, farms, and offices throughout the
country have been restored to life in a manner that maintains their
historic character.
(3)
(4) States that have partnered a state incentive with
the federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentive program
have reaped significant economic development benefits, including
construction and building industry job creation, increased state tax
revenues through increased employment and wages, increased local
property tax revenues through increased property values, and
increased local tax revenues through sales taxes and heritage
tourism.
(5) The federal rehabilitation tax credit applies specifically to
income-producing historic properties, and throughout its history has
leveraged many times its cost in private expenditures on historic
preservation. This program is the largest federal program
specifically supporting historic preservation, generating over $37
billion in historic preservation activity since 1976. During the
2014-15 fiscal year, the National Park Service approved 1,156
proposed projects, representing an estimated $5.98 billion of
investment to restore and rehabilitate historic buildings.
(6) The federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program
remains an outstanding means of leveraging private investment in the
adaptive reuse and preservation of historic buildings. The program
continues to help stimulate economic recovery in older communities,
both large and small, throughout the nation, and created an estimated
77,762 jobs in 2014.
(4)
(7) Over the last 10 years, California has had 129
projects qualify for the federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives
program. These projects have been located in 20 different counties.
(5)
(8) As California communities continue to adjust and
adapt to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, proven tools are
still needed to incentivize economic development and revitalize
economically distressed areas.
SEC. 2. Section 38.10 is added to the Revenue and Taxation Code,
to read:
38.10. (a) The Legislative Analyst shall, on an annual basis

is not limited to, an analysis of the demand for the tax credit, the
types and uses of projects receiving the tax credit, the jobs
created by the use of the tax credits, and the economic impact of the
tax credits.
(b) It the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to
comply with the requirements of Section 41.
(c)
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until
