A10155 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A10155A
 
SPONSOR: Rules (Zebrowski)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to providing all local governments with the option to provide a property tax exemption to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers; and to repeal various provisions of the real property tax law relating thereto   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill would allow any county to adopt a local law that will provide an exemption on real property owned by an enrolled member of an incorpo- rated volunteer fire company, department, or voluntary ambulance service. The bill would exempt up to 10% of the assessed value for members who served a minimum of two years. The bill would require local- ities that currently provide the exemption adopt a local law to conform to this provision.   JUSTIFICATION: Volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers provide a significant bene- fit to residents and taxpayers through their countless hours of service protecting our communities. Currently, less than half of counties in New York are authorized to provide a local property tax exemption benefit to qualifying volunteer firefighter and ambulance workers. This bill seeks to provide statewide option for all local governments to offer up to a 10% exemption of assessed value to eligible volunteers. This bill provides for flexibility in administering this property tax exemption by giving local governments discretion in adopting a local law or ordi- nance. By expanding the opportunity to provide this critical tax exemption, it will help improve recruitment and retention of our volun- teer fire and ambulance services.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Undetermined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately, provided that section two take effect three years after.
