LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 451, Atkins. Personal income and corporation taxes: credits: rehabilitation of certified historic structures.
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 allocation a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2026, 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. The 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 allocated on a first-come-first-served basis by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, in conjunction with the Office of Historic Preservation, as provided. The bill would authorize both of these agencies to charge a reasonable fee not to exceed a specified amount for costs incurred in carrying out certain responsibilities related to the tax credit. 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 for qualified residences and for rehabilitation projects with qualified rehabilitation expenditures of less than $1,000,000, as specified. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst to, on an annual basis, collaborate with the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and the Office of Historic Preservation to review the effectiveness of the tax credit, as provided. The bill would also provide that the credit amount is $0 for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2026, unless otherwise specified in a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Act.
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   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 vital to economic development, to enhancing civic pride, increasing tourism, and maintaining vibrant and inclusive 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 $6.5 billion for the second time in the program’s history. The average investment in completed projects in the 2018 fiscal year was $6.8 million, the highest amount in the program’s history. The program is currently available to California’s income producing historic properties, and has generated nearly $1.6 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.
(4) States that have partnered a state incentive with the federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives 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 $144.6 billion in historic preservation activity since 1976. During the 2018 fiscal year, the National Park Service approved 1,013 proposed projects, representing an estimated $6.89 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 108,861 jobs in 2017.
(7) Over the last 10 years, California has had 127 projects qualify for the federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program. These projects have been located in 20 different counties.
(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.
