        AN  ACT  to amend the tax law and the administrative code of the city of

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

     1    Section  1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as the "opportu-
     2  nity zone tax break elimination act".
     3    § 2. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section 208 of the tax law,  as
     4  amended  by  section  5  of part T of chapter 59 of the laws of 2015, is
     5  amended to read as follows:
     6    (a) (i) The term "investment income" means income,  including  capital
     7  gains  in  excess  of  capital  losses,  from investment capital, to the
     8  extent included in  computing  entire  net  income,  less,  (A)  in  the
     9  discretion  of  the  commissioner,  any interest deductions allowable in
    10  computing entire net income which are directly or  indirectly  attribut-
    11  able  to  investment capital or investment income, (B) any capital gains
    12  deferred or excluded under 26 U.S.C. §1400-z-2, provided, however,  that
    13  in no case shall investment income exceed entire net income. (ii) If the
    14  amount  of interest deductions subtracted under subparagraph (i) of this
    15  paragraph exceeds investment income, the  excess  of  such  amount  over
    16  investment  income must be added back to entire net income. (iii) If the
    17  taxpayer's investment income determined without regard to  the  interest
    18  deductions subtracted under subparagraph (i) of this paragraph comprises
    19  more  than eight percent of the taxpayer's entire net income, investment
    20  income determined without regard  to  such  interest  deductions  cannot
    21  exceed eight percent of the taxpayer's entire net income.

     8  allowable in computing entire net income which are directly or indirect-

    12  income.
    13    (ii) If the amount of interest deductions  subtracted  under  subpara-

    19  graph comprises more than eight percent of  the  taxpayer's  entire  net
    20  income,  investment  income  determined  without regard to such interest
