NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A6429
 
SPONSOR: Santabarbara
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to defining "period of war" for the alternative veterans' exemption   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of the bill is to update the "period of war" definitions in the alternative veterans' exemption to include recent and current "hostilities" in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo and in the Global War on Terrorism respectively.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends paragraphs (a) of subdivision 1, 'and subdivisions 3 and 3-a of section 45a-a of the real property tax law, by amending the definition of "period of war" to include hostilities participated in by military forces of the United States in the Global War on Terrorism from Septem- ber 11, 2001 through the end of such hostilities and hostilities partic- ipated in by military forces of the United States in NATO related combat theaters in Somalia from August 1992 through March 1994. Bosnia in December 1995 through November 2004 and Kosovo in April 1999 through June 1999.   JUSTIFICATION: Subdivision 1 of Section 458-a of the real property tax law has not been updated to include recent and current "periods of war" where United States military forces were engaged in "hostilities" including the Global War on Terrorism, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Since military personnel were actively engaged in hostilities in each of these oper- ations, they should be afforded the same eligibility to apply for veter- an's alternative exemptions provided to veterans of other "periods of war" currently provided for in this section of the real property tax law.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2017 - Referred to Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs 2018 - Referred to Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs 2020 - S1676, Referred to Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs 2021- S1779, Passed Senate 2022- S1781, Referred to Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs Assembly 2017 - Referred to Veterans' Affairs 2018 - Referred to Veterans' Affairs 2020 - A5971 Referred to Veterans' Affair 2021-2022- No Same-As   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: To be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
