SUMMARY:
 
Extends for two years the additional sales tax component for counties
and cities; extends for two years various local occupancy, mortgage
recording, and real estate transfer taxes; extends for two years busi-
ness tax incentives for New York City and areas in Lower Manhattan;
extends for two years New York City's personal income, business and
various sales tax rates; and extends for two years New York City's
mayoral control provisions.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
The bill provides for fiscal and policy continuity across local govern-
ments and ensures that no disruptions will occur that could jeopardize
local finances. The extension of sales and other local tax provisions
will ensure needed revenue for local governments that will allow the
provision of vital services while at the same time providing fiscal
certainty and balanced budgets. The bill extends vital business tax
incentives for New York City as well as tax rates that ensure the city
of New York's fiscal health. This bill would also extend mayoral control
of public schools in New York City, through the 2018-19 school year to
ensure stability for the New York City School District (NYCSD) by
providing continuity and predictability for the largest school district
in New York State. The NYCSD is responsible for educating more than one
third of the state's public school children.
 
 
FISCAL IMPACT:
 
This bill will reduce revenues for the state by approximately $7 million
on an annual basis. The bill will preserve approximately $1.9 billion of
revenue per year for counties and cities across the state.  It will also
preserve approximately $7.9 billion in revenues for New York City on a
full fiscal-year basis, while it will also allow for a total of approxi-
mately $147 million in business tax incentives for New York City.
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill would take effect immediately.
