Subd. 3. Notice of security interest ~~avoids surrender~~. ~~The manufacturer's certificate of origin or the certificate of title need not be surrendered to the department under subdivision 1~~ When a perfected security interest exists, or will exist, on the manufactured home at the time the manufactured home is affixed to real property, if and the owner has not satisfied the requirements of section 168A.141 subdivision 1, the owner of the manufactured home ~~files~~, or its secured party, may record a notice with the county recorder, or with the registrar of titles, if the land is registered, stating that the manufactured home located on the property is encumbered by a perfected security interest and is not an improvement to real property. The notice must state the name and address of the secured party as set forth on the certificate of title, the legal description of the real property, and the name and address of the record fee owner of the real property on which the manufactured home is affixed. When the security interest is released or satisfied, the secured party shall attach a copy of the release or satisfaction to a notice executed by the secured party containing the county recorder or registrar of titles document number of the notice of security interest. The notice of release or satisfaction must be ~~filed~~ recorded with the county recorder, or registrar of titles, if the land is registered.

The notices provided for in this subdivision need not be acknowledged.

Journal of the House - 27th Day - Thursday, March 9, 2017 - Top of Page 1151

(b) If the qualified community development entity or transferee as allowed in subdivision 8 does not receive the qualified equity investment and issue the qualified low-income community investment within 24 months following receipt of the certification notice, the certification lapses and the entity may not accept the qualified equity investment without reapplying to the commissioner for certification. Lapsed certifications revert to the commissioner and must be reissued, first, pro rata to other applicants whose qualified equity investment allocations were reduced under subdivision 6 and, thereafter, in accordance with the application process.

(c) A business is considered a qualified active low-income community business for the duration of the qualified community development entity's investment in, or loan to, the business if the qualified active low-income community business and the qualified certified development entity reasonably expects, when the qualified certified development entity makes the investment or loan, that the business will continue to satisfy the requirements for being a qualified active low-income community business throughout the entire period of the investment or loan.

Subd. 4. Amount certified. The commissioner shall certify up to $300,000,000 in tax credit authority over a three-year period for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

(8) in circumstances where the state allocation is paired with a federal new market tax allocation, the extent to which the applicant develops evaluation criteria and tools to assess the extent to which the state allocation is necessary to produce the community benefit to be provided through financing of the qualified active low-income community business;

(9) a plan describing the proposed types of qualified active low-income community businesses in which the applicant expects to invest, and the financial contributions expected to be made to the project from nonstate sources;

(10) a nonrefundable application fee of $5,000, which is required to be paid to the commissioner for each application submitted; and

(11) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

(b) The requirements of paragraph (a), clauses (2) and (3), do not apply to a qualified community development entity incorporated or headquartered in Minnesota, if the qualified community development entity provides evidence of direct experience with at least $20,000,000 of allocation of qualified equity investment authority from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund as:

(1) a direct lender to a new markets tax credit structure; or

(2) a direct investor to such a structure, as long as the applicant has direct lending experience serving businesses in disadvantaged communities in the state of at least $10,000,000 and a primary mission of economic development serving areas including part or all of the state of Minnesota.

Subd. 6. Consideration of application. (a) Within 90 days after the application deadline, for each completed application containing all of the information in subdivision 5, including the payment of the application fee, the commissioner shall grant or deny the application in full or in part. If the commissioner denies any part of the application, the commissioner shall inform the qualified community development entity of the grounds for the denial. If the qualified community development entity provides any additional information required by the commissioner or otherwise completes its application within 15 days of the notice of denial, the application is considered completed as of the original date of submission. If the qualified community development entity fails to provide the information or complete its application within the 15-day period, the application remains denied until the next application date.

(b) If the application required under this section is complete, the commissioner shall certify the proposed equity investment as a qualified equity investment that is eligible for tax credits under this chapter, subject to the limitations in subdivision 4 and the pro rata award of allocations to eligible applicants within the limitations. The commissioner shall provide written notice of the certification to the qualified community development entity. The notice must include the name of the qualified community development entity and the credit amount. Before any tax credits are claimed under this chapter, the qualified community development entity shall provide written notice to the commissioner of the names of the entities eligible to claim the credits as a result of holding a qualified equity investment. If the names of the entities that are eligible to utilize the credits change due to a transfer of a qualified equity investment or an allocation or affiliate transfer under section 116X.04, the qualified community development entity shall notify the commissioner of the change.

(c) The commissioner shall certify up to $300,000,000 in qualified equity investments, to be spread evenly over three years. The commissioner shall certify qualified equity investments to those eligible applicants who have submitted a complete application meeting all requirements, subject to the limitations in subdivision 4, with no more

Journal of the House - 27th Day - Thursday, March 9, 2017 - Top of Page 1153

than $100,000,000 per applicant and its affiliates across all three years. For applications that are complete and received within the same application round, the commissioner shall certify, consistent with remaining qualified equity investment capacity, the qualified equity investments in proportionate percentages based upon the ratio of the amount of qualified equity investment requested in an application, up to the total available in that year per entity, to the total amount of qualified equity investments requested in all eligible and complete applications received.

(d) Notwithstanding the requirements of this subdivision, the commissioner shall certify half of the available annual allocation authority to qualified equity investments located in the metropolitan area and half to qualified equity investments located in greater Minnesota.

Subd. 7. Credit recapture. (a) The commissioner shall recapture the tax credit allowed under this section for a specific qualified equity investment if any amount of the federal tax credit available with respect to a qualified equity investment is recaptured under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code due to any of the following reasons:

(1) the qualified active low-income community business receiving the benefit of the investment fails to reasonably document at the initial loan or investment closing evidence of being a qualified active low-income community business;

(2) the qualified community development entity under this section causes the recapture of the federal tax credit under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code for the specific qualified equity investment by losing its certification as a qualified community development entity as determined by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund within the United States Department of Treasury; or

(3) if any of the qualified equity investment is returned to the investor prior to the end of the compliance period. If the tax credit is recaptured under this section, no further tax credits are allowed for the investor for the specific qualified equity investment.

(b) If there are no federal tax credits involved in a specific qualified equity investment but any of the reasons listed in paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3), occur, the commissioner shall recapture the tax credit allowed under this section for that specific qualified equity investment.

(c) Notwithstanding the recapture provisions of this subdivision, any portion of the tax credit already rightfully claimed by the investor for the specific qualified equity investment for years ended before the year in which the recapture occurs, is not recaptured.

(d) Enforcement of each of the above recapture provisions is subject to a six-month cure period after the qualified community development entity determines, should have reasonably determined, or has received notice of, the noncompliance.

(e) If the commissioner disallows tax credits under this subdivision, the commissioner may also impose penalties on the qualified community development entity that received the qualified equity investment for which tax credits are disallowed, not to exceed one-half of one percent of the qualified equity investment.

(f) Any tax credit that is subject to recapture must be recaptured from the taxpayer that claimed the tax credit on a return.

Subd. 8. Suballocation. An approved qualified community development entity may transfer all or a portion of its qualified equity investment authority from its qualified community development entity to a subsidiary qualified community development entity provided that the qualified community development entity provides written notification to the commissioner within 30 days of the transfer. The subsidiary shall be subject to the same rules, requirements, and limitations applicable to the qualified community development entity.

Journal of the House - 27th Day - Thursday, March 9, 2017 - Top of Page 1154

Subd. 9. Annual reporting by community development entities.

(i) determine the investments made in the metropolitan area and greater Minnesota;

(ii) verify continued certification as a qualified community development entity under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code; and

(iii) any other necessary reporting data.

(b) Within 120 days after the end of the applicant's fiscal year which includes a credit allowance date, an applicant must submit annual financial statements for the qualified community development entity and any subsidiary qualified community development entities having a credit allowance date for the preceding tax year in a form established by the commissioner.

Subd. 10. Application fees; account created. A nonrefundable application fee shall be submitted by the qualified community development entity at the time the application is submitted and shall be equal to an amount as published in the Minnesota new markets tax credit program application, initially set at $5,000. The commissioner may allow up to 25 percent of the fee to be submitted up to 180 days following the allocation award and up to 25 percent of the fee to be submitted up to 270 days following the allocation award. Application fees are deposited in the new market tax credit administration account in the special revenue fund.

Subd. 11. Administrative fees. Upon the receipt of a qualified equity investment by a qualified community development entity, an administrative fee in an amount determined by the commissioner, no more than two percent of the qualified equity investment, and published in the allocation agreement will be deposited in the new markets tax credit administration account in the special revenue fund.

Subd. 12. Administrative expenses. Amounts in the new markets tax credit administration account are appropriated annually to the commissioner for administrative expenses related to administering the new markets tax credit in this section.

(4) the extent to which the reduced cost of borrowing or other flexible or nontraditional terms are provided to the borrower, thereby ensuring that the benefits of the tax credit equity accrued to the borrower; and

(5) other information the commissioner deems necessary.
