Bill Ohm", "committee": "Ways and Means", "vote_yeas": 22, "vote_nays": 1, "text": "This bill, as amended, establishes a 10-year exemption from the business profits tax (BPT) and business enterprise tax (BET) for qualified regenerative manufacturing businesses. This bill also provides for a $5 million workforce development program for such businesses, administered by the Business Finance Authority (BFA). The intent of the bill is to assist in the creation of a new industry based in NH, regenerative manufacturing. Regenerative manufacturing involves the creation of human organs, such as kidneys, from the donor's own DNA. Proponents argue that much of the science has been available for 20 years, and that no new scientific breakthroughs are needed. 3D printing has become available. Advanced robotics are available. The University of New Hampshire (UNH) has committed to workforce training. What's missing is the ability to scale up a manufacturing process from labor intensive 2D petri dishes to printed 3D human organs under US Food and Drug Administration approval. This concept is supported by $80 million in federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) money, and over $200 million in private funding and commitments. Nearly all states competed for these funds, and NH won the competition through the non-profit Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), directed by Dean Kamen and located in the Manchester mills. Deciding factors were Mr. Kamen's track record of accomplishment in innovative manufacturing such as dialysis machines; his ability to form a consortium of the companies, large and small, equipped to supply the necessary technology; and the availability of suitable space for collaboration among these companies. While the funding competition has been won, the competition for scaling up the manufacturing process remains intense. Other states, anticipating a windfall in business growth from potentially successful regenerative manufacturing, are actively soliciting ARMI's relocation with offers that NH will not match. The majority of the committee feels that it's reasonable to provide limited incentives to this nascent industry that would directly benefit NH. These incentives comprise two parts. 1) A 10-year BET/BPT tax holiday on NH business organizations that have at least 75% of their business activities in regenerative manufacturing. This can include research, development, manufacturing, workforce development, and training. 2) A $5 million student loan repayment program for NH employees in this new industry who stay for at least five years. The BFA will administer this competitive program under their existing bonding authority. Donations will be solicited to offset direct costs to NH. The committee analysis is that most of the qualified business entities will not show a profit for several years. However, in the waning years of this program, revenues may be substantial and a windfall to NH may occur after the 10-year window expires. If the program is a failure, NH only loses BET tax revenue as no profits were generated. In any event, the business activity associated with the program will be very beneficial to Manchester and much of the surrounding areas, and indeed much of the state if large tracts of land are needed for suppliers. Regarding student loan forgiveness, the committee feels it's in the best interest of NH to invest in a workforce suitable for emerging needs. The skyrocketing costs of medical care indicate that this industry of regenerative manufacturing appears to be a prime candidate. Loan donations can minimize the impact to NH. Concerns have arisen on the constitutionality of the bill, which creates special tax treatment for a designated industry. This was addressed in the committee amendment. Four different lawyers with expertise in these matters, including the Attorney General's office and a UNH professor, have unanimously agreed that the language of the amended bill is constitutional. In summary, the majority feels that the benefits of this opportunity far outweigh the costs, and consequently recommends this bill Ought to Pass with Amendment."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Marc Abear", "committee": "Ways and Means", "text": "Maintaining a healthy economy and fostering economic growth are some of the most important priorities for hardworking Granite Staters. That is political reality. The cost of everyday life is increasing. People want to be sure that their job opportunities and paychecks keep up. As policymakers, we should create a plan of action focusing on those things that increase economic opportunity, promote freedom of association, and lower barriers to entry for new businesses. Passage of this bill does not do any of those things. Regardless of whether it would be found constitutional by the judiciary, and clearly the legislation is designed to meet the tests the NH Supreme Court has laid out, this bill is not acceptable to the spirit of the state constitution. The state constitution in Part Second, Article 5, in part reads \"... to impose and levy proportional and reasonable assessments, rates, and taxes, upon all inhabitants of, and residents within, the said state. . .\" Yes, the NH Supreme Court has said that it is permissible for the legislature to parse the definition of the class to be taxed, but that is using weasel words to dodge the responsibility for not complying with the intent of the section when it is inconvenient. The proper function of taxation is to raise money for core functions of government. SB 564 does not do that. It is properly a spending bill. The purpose of this bill is to direct the behavior of citizens and businesses. It preys upon the hopes of the well-intended to entice them to cause the taxpayers of the state to pay more than they would otherwise have to pay so that a target group can be advantaged. It cannot pass as the spending bill it properly is, which is why it came before the tax committee as an exemption plus an unfunded education giveaway. The hope is that, in the long run, the target group will create sufficient value to produce a return on the general tax increase; call it an investment if it makes your conscience rest easier, for those who bankrolled the gamble. And it is a gamble. Funding research and development is always a gamble. We should not be gambling with taxpayer dollars. We should not be using governmental power for picking winners and losers in the private sector, which SB 564 clearly does. This is a tax bill and we should not forget what it is. Taxation always imposes some level of burden on economic performance. That harm can be minimized if policymakers resist the temptation to use the tax code for social engineering, class warfare, and other extraneous purposes. We best help the business community by lowering the tax burden we impose upon it. With this bill, we are advantaging the few in the belief that the harm to the many is worth the price of the discrimination. That is not a sound judgment. By passing this bill, we are not being good stewards of the tax system. A principled tax system based in Granite State values is the best way to promote prosperity for Granite State residents and to advance the state's economic interests. The government should not use the tax system to unfairly shift the tax burden onto one class of citizens or off of another. The tax system is the use of governmental police power. As such, it should not be used to punish, to engage in discriminatory taxation, nor should it be used to bestow special favors on any particular group of taxpayers regardless of the good intentions. A highquality tax system should be stable, providing certainty in taxation and in revenue flows. It should provide certainty of financial planning for individuals and businesses. Tax systems should be accountable to citizens. Taxes and tax policy should be visible and not hidden from taxpayers. Changes in tax policy should be highly publicized and open to public debate.

The general court intends that this act be liberally construed and applied to promote the following underlying purposes and policies:\n\nI. The general court recognizes that:\n\n(a) New and emerging technologies in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have resulted in the creation of entire new industries within the United States and that those technologies have been the primary drivers of economic development during that period.\n\n(b) When such industries are created, they tend to grow in geographic concentrations, create additional opportunities for new businesses of all varieties, and boost the overall economy of the states in which they appear.\n\n(c) Regenerative manufacturing, the creation of new tissue for medical purposes, is an example of an emerging technology that will change current medical practice, advance the health of the citizens of New Hampshire and the United States, and create a new industry.\n\n(d) New technologies require substantial investments in research and development in order to become economically viable, and therefore often require support during this process that other industries do not require.\n\n(e) The government of the United States and companies within New Hampshire have already begun investing time and resources into the advancement of regenerative manufacturing in the state, making it uniquely suited to New Hampshire and the most likely of all emerging industries to replicate here the successes seen elsewhere.\n\nII. The general court therefore declares:\n\n(a) It is the public policy of the state of New Hampshire to advance the study and practice of regenerative manufacturing within the state.\n\n(b) This public policy will advance the public interests of the state and its citizens by:\n\n(1) Providing new, high paying jobs, both in the field of regenerative manufacturing and in other fields that support that industry and those who engage in it.\n\n(2) Attracting highly skilled professionals who will raise their families in the towns and cities of the state.\n\n(3) Fostering the development of a new industry that will grow and advance in New Hampshire.\n\n(4) Contributing to the sciences within the state and improving its reputation as a place that fosters science and technology.\n\n(5) Increasing tax revenues by attracting and generating new businesses and property owners that otherwise would not have located in New Hampshire.\n\n(c) The intent of this act is to achieve this public interest by:\n\n(1) Making New Hampshire a more attractive place for new businesses to begin studying regenerative manufacturing.\n\n(2) Attracting companies that are already engaged in the study of regenerative manufacturing into the state.\n\n(3) Supporting any current New Hampshire company that wishes to enter the field of regenerative manufacturing.\n\n2 New Paragraph; Business Profits Tax; Definition of Qualified Regenerative Manufacturing Company. Amend RSA 77-A:1 by inserting after paragraph XXIX the following new paragraph:\n\nXXX.(a) \"Qualified regenerative manufacturing company'' means any business organization which meets each of the following requirements at all times during the entire taxable year:\n\n(1) It files with its return for the taxable year an election to be a qualified regenerative manufacturing company in accordance with RSA 77-A:5-c or has made such election for a previous taxable year; and\n\n(2) At least 75 percent of its business activities over the course of the tax year meet the requirements for an active regenerative manufacturing business, or, in the case of a subsidiary located in New Hampshire, 75 percent of that subsidiary\u2019s business activities meet the requirements for an active regenerative manufacturing business.\n\n(b) For purposes of this paragraph, the term \u201cregenerative manufacturing\u201d means any aspect of the manufacturing of blood, tissues, tissue constructs, and organs for the purpose of researching, diagnosing, treating, or curing any disease or injury, such as (1) cell collection, culture and scale-up, (2) biomaterial selection and scale-up, (3) tissue process automation and monitoring, (4) tissue maturing, and (5) tissue preservation and transport.\n\n(c) For purposes of this paragraph, the term \u201cactive regenerative manufacturing business\u201d means the conduct of any business activity the primary focus of which is any one or more of the following areas:\n\n(1) Performing research relating to regenerative manufacturing;\n\n(2) Performing regenerative manufacturing activities;\n\n(3) Researching, developing, manufacturing, or supplying technical services in support of regenerative manufacturing, such as process engineering, automation, facility set-up, and distribution services;\n\n(4) Researching, developing, manufacturing, or supplying technologies utilized in regenerative manufacturing, such as cellular and non-cellular source materials, tools, equipment, reagents, and other supplies; and\n\n(5) Performing any activity necessary to bring a product created through regenerative manufacturing to market, including but not limited to seeking patents, regulatory approval, performing clinical trials, and sales.\n\n3 New Paragraph; Business Enterprise Tax; Definition; Qualified Regenerative Manufacturing Company.

Bonds may be made redeemable before maturity either at the option of the authority or at the option of the holder, or upon the occurrence of specified events, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the authority prior to the issuance of the bonds. The authority shall determine the form and details of the bond. The bonds may be sold in such manner, either at public or private sale, for such price, at such rate or rates of interest, or at such discount in lieu of interest as the authority may determine.\n\nII. Every bond shall be signed on behalf of the authority by 2 persons designated by the authority. One person shall be a member of the board who is also the chairperson of the board, or the vice chairperson of the board, or the treasurer of the authority, or an assistant treasurer of the authority.

Any bonds issued under this chapter may be issued pursuant to and entitled to the benefits of a security document between the authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state, or by a security document directly between the authority and the purchasers of the bonds. Such security document shall be in such form and executed in such manner as may be determined by the board. Such security document may include the mortgage, pledge, or grant of a security interest in any property of the authority and may pledge or assign, in whole or in part, the revenues held or to be received by the authority, any contract or other rights to receive the revenues, whether then existing or thereafter coming into existence and whether then held or thereafter acquired by the authority, and any proceeds thereof. Such security documents may contain provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights, security, and remedies of the bondholders as may, in the discretion of the board, be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law. Such security documents may include provisions defining defaults and providing for remedies in the event of defaults, which may include the acceleration of maturities and the enforcement of any mortgage, pledge or security interest, and covenants setting forth the duties of, and limitations on, the authority in relation to the custody, safeguarding, investment, and application of moneys, the issue of additional or refunding bonds, the fixing, revision and collection of fees and other revenues, the use of bond proceeds, the establishment of reserves, the acquisition of any property or interest therein or undertaking of any project, any contracts relating thereto and subsequent amendments of such provisions and contracts.

Any such security document may set forth the rights and remedies of bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders.\n\nIV. Any bonds issued under authority of this chapter may be issued pursuant to lines of credit or other banking arrangements under such terms and conditions not inconsistent with this chapter, and under such agreements with the purchasers or makers thereof, as the board may determine to be in the best interests of the authority. In addition to other security provided herein or otherwise by law, bonds issued by the authority under this section may be secured, in whole or in part, by insurance or by letters or lines of credit or other credit facilities issued to the authority by any bank, trust company or other financial institution, within or without the state, and the authority may make any pledge, mortgage, assignment or security interest in respect of its property and revenues as security for the reimbursement by the authority to the issuers of such letters or lines of credit, insurance or credit facilities, or any payments made thereunder.\n\nV. Any mortgage, pledge or security interest made by the authority under this chapter shall be valid and binding and shall be deemed continuously perfected for the purposes of RSA 382-A and all other laws from the time when the mortgage, pledge, or security interest is made. The property or revenues so mortgaged, pledged, or subjected to a security interest then held or thereafter acquired or received by the authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of such mortgage, pledge, or security interest without any physical delivery or segregation thereof or further act. The lien of such mortgage, pledge, or security interest shall be valid and binding against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. No such property or revenues may be used in a manner inconsistent with the terms governing such mortgage, pledge, or security interest. Any agreement by which a pledge or security interest in personal property is created under this chapter shall be filed or recorded in the records of the secretary of state. Any mortgage or other agreement by which a security interest in real property is created under this chapter shall be filed with the register of deeds for the county in which such property is located.\n\nVI.

The authority may issue refunding bonds for the purpose of paying any bonds issued under the provisions of this section at or prior to maturity or upon acceleration or redemption. Refunding bonds may be issued at such times prior to the maturity or redemption of the bonds being refunded as the board may determine. The refunding bonds may be issued in sufficient amounts to pay or provide the principal of the bonds being refunded, together with any redemption premium thereon, any interest accrued or to accrue to the date of payment of such bonds, the expenses of issue of the refunding bonds, the expenses of redeeming the bonds being refunded, and such reserves for debt service or other expenses from the proceeds of such refunding bonds as may be required by a security document securing the bonds. The authorization and issue of refunding bonds, the maturities and other details thereof, the security therefor, the rights of the holders thereof, and the rights, duties and, obligations of the authority in respect to the same shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter relating to the issue of bonds other than refunding bonds insofar as the same may be applicable.\n\nVIII. Any debt service fund or debt service reserve fund established in connection with the issuance of bonds under this chapter shall be kept separate from other moneys of the authority. All proceeds of any bonds issued under this chapter, together with the income derived therefrom, shall be expended without further authorization or appropriation as provided for in the security document with respect to such bonds.\n\nIX. Moneys in any fund or account created under the provisions of this chapter, subject to the terms and provisions of any security document applicable thereto, may be invested.

The state does hereby pledge to and agree with the holders of bonds issued under this chapter that the state shall not limit or alter the rights hereby vested in the authority to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the holders of such bonds or in any way impair the rights and remedies of such holders until such bonds, together with the interest on them, with the interest on any unpaid installments of interest, and all costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of such holders, are fully met and discharged. The authority is authorized to include this pledge and agreement of the state in any agreement with the holders of such bonds.\n\nXI. Bonds issued under this section and their transfer and income, including any profit made on their sale or transfer, shall at all times be exempt from all taxation by or within the state.\n\nXII. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this chapter or any recitals in any bonds issued under this section, all such bonds shall be deemed to be investment securities under RSA 382-A.\n\nXIII. No bonds or other obligations shall be issued except after the governor and council, or their designee, after hearing, shall have found that:\n\n(a) The proposed issuance will serve a public use and provide a public benefit.\n\n(b) The proposed issuance is within the policy of, and the authority conferred by, this chapter.\n\n(c) The proposed issuance will preserve or increase the social welfare or economic prosperity of the state and one or more of its political subdivisions, and will promote the general welfare of the state's citizens.\n\n(d) The proposed issuance will promote the orderly development of business activities, create or preserve employment opportunities, or protect the physical environment.\n\n(e) Adequate provision has been or will be made for the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any obligations issued by the authority to finance such loan programs.\n\n(f) Adequate provision has been made for the payment of the reasonable expenses of administration of the loan programs as are necessitated by the programs.\n\n162-S:5 Reporting and Approval Regarding Workforce Development Program.

The bill also establishes the Regenerative Manufacturing Workforce Development Program and State Regenerative Manufacturing Workforce Development Fund to be administered by the Business Finance Authority.\n\nThe Department of Revenue Administration states Qualified Regenerative Manufacturing Companies in NH need to file an election with the Department for the 100 percent exemption from the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax in a taxable period at any time on or before the 15th day of the third month of such taxable period. This election would expire on the last day of the taxable period of the business organization that includes December 31, 2027. No subsequent election may be made after the expiration of an election. Every business organization electing treatment as a Qualified Regenerative Manufacturing Company needs to file a report with the Department for each taxable period with certain required information or a copy of federal income tax return.
