A04402 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4402
 
SPONSOR: Fitzpatrick (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to granting partial exemption from real property taxation to persons who are totally and permanently disabled   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To authorize municipal corporations to grant partial exemption on real property owned by persons totally and permanently disabled.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of § 467 of the Real Property Tax Law as amended by section 1 of part B of Chapter 686 of the laws of 2022. Individuals who are totally and permanently disabled will be able to receive the same tax exemption that persons over the age of sixty-five currently receive. They shall be exempt from taxation by any municipal corporation in which they are located to the extent of fifty per cent of the assessed valuation thereof, provided the governing board of such municipality, after a public hearing, adopts a local law, ordi- nance or resolution. Section 2 establishes the effective date.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE):   JUSTIFICATION: Under present law, a local municipality may grant tax exemptions to those persons who are 65 years of age or older. This legislation intends to provide some relief to property owners to which such exemptions could be granted, namely, those who are "totally and permanently disabled." Members of this group also have had their earning power severely reduced and find it difficult to meet the tax obligations that are concomitant with owning their own homes. Thus, this bill would help alleviate some of the economic problems faced by the disabled.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2022 - A5592 - Referred to Real Property Taxation 2020 - A6170 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2018 - A7347 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2016 - A3125 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2014 - A3196 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2012 - A2514 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2010 - A4524 - Held in Real Property Taxation 2008 - A6798 - Held in Real Property Taxation   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None to the State.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
