§ 772. Grants,  guaranteed  loans  and  tax  benefits.  1.  Except  as
provided in subdivision four of this  section  and  notwithstanding  any
other  provision of law, a call center employer that appears on the list
described in section seven hundred seventy-one of this article shall  be
ineligible  to  enter  into any agreements for any state grants or state
guaranteed loans for a period of five years from the date such  list  is
published.
  2.  Except  as  provided  in  subdivision  four  of  this  section and
notwithstanding any other provision of law, a call center employer  that
appears  on  the  list described in section seven hundred seventy-one of
this article shall remit the unamortized value of  any  state  grant  or
state  guaranteed  loans  it has previously received for the call center
appearing on the list, if the agreement for such grants  and  loans  was
entered  into  after the effective date of this article. Nothing in this
subdivision shall be deemed to prevent the  call  center  employer  from
receiving  any  grant to provide training or other employment assistance
to individuals who are selected as being in particular need of  training
or  other employment assistance due to the transfer or relocation of the
call center employer's facility or operating units.

notwithstanding  any other provision of law, a call center employer that
appears on the list described in section seven  hundred  seventy-one  of
this   article  shall  not  be  allowed  any  tax  credit  described  in
subdivision (c) of section seven hundred seventy of this article for the
five  taxable  years,  excluding  short   taxable   years,   immediately
succeeding  the  taxable  year in which the call center first appears on
such list, if the agreement for such tax credit was entered  into  after
the effective date of this article.
  4.  The  commissioner,  in  consultation  with  the appropriate agency
providing a loan, grant or tax credit may waive the requirement provided
under subdivision one, two or three of this section if the  call  center
employer demonstrates that such requirement would:
  (a) threaten state or national security;
  (b) result in substantial actual or potential job loss in the state of
New York; or
  (c) harm the environment.
  If  the  commissioner waives such requirement, such commissioner shall
promptly notify the commissioner of taxation and finance of such waiver.
