                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7791

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to increases in income tax
rates on incomes over one million dollars and incomes over five
million dollars


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To provide for a temporary increase of personal income taxes upon New
Yorkers earning more than one million dollars annually, and five
million dollars annually. Such increase will be a temporary 9.97%
bracket for annual incomes over $1,000,000 and a 10.97% bracket for
annual incomes over $5,000,000.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section 2 of the bill amends paragraph 1 of subsection (a) of section
601 of the tax law, as added by chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, to
provide for two new tax brackets, a bracket for New York taxable
incomes over $1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000, and a bracket for
incomes over $5,000,000.

Section 3 of the bill renumbers paragraphs 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of
subsection (b) of section of the tax law.

Section 4 of the bill amends paragraph 1 of subsection (b) of section

601 of the tax law, as added by chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, to
provide for two new tax brackets, a bracket for New York taxable
incomes over $1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000, and a bracket for
incomes over $5,000,000.

Section 5 of the bill renumbers paragraphs 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of
subsection (c) of section of the tax law.

Section 6 of the bill amends paragraph 1 of subsection (c) of section
601 of the tax law, as added by chapter 57 of the laws of 2009, to
provide for two new tax brackets, a bracket for New York taxable
incomes over $1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000, and a bracket for
incomes over $5,000,000.

Section 7 of the bill sets forth the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :
In 2007, the world economy collapsed, due in part to a collapse of the
sub-prime mortgage market.

Since then, New York State has had to close record budget deficits in
every Executive Budget.  Despite significant attempts over the past
three years to shrink government, and the extraction of hundreds of
millions of dollars in savings from the state agencies, the state
university system and community colleges however, New York is still
facing a significant budget hole in the 2010-2011 Executive Budget.

A new, temporary tax bracket for New York taxable incomes over
$1,000,000, and over $5,000,000, will garner up to $1 billion in new
revenue annually, absent which, New York have to make further cuts to
health care, education, and human services. There are more than
850,000 New Yorkers out of work, and more than 100,000 have lost their
homes. Adding significant cuts to health care and education on top of
the more than $1 billion already cut out of the budgets of the state
agencies - and particularly the human services agencies - would have
the practical effect of balancing the budget upon the backs of New
York's most vulnerable populations.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
None.
 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
No cost to the State.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act will take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2010.
