                                BILL NUMBER:S3739

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing
a small business tax credit for the employment of unemployed college
graduates

PURPOSE:  Encourage small-business employers to hire well-educated
college graduates in various employable industries, and retain their
knowledge and potential in strengthening and furthering New York State's
economic goals.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Subdivision 46 is amended to section 210 of the Tax law, to
establish a small business tax credit in the range five thousand to
twenty-five thousand for each employer who hires an unemployed college
graduate for a period of twelve months or more, and a minimum of thir-
ty-five hours per week.

Section 2: Clause (xxxv) is added to section 606 of the Tax law, to
identify legislative intent of bill found within subdivision 43 of
section 210 of the Tax law.

Section 3: Subsection (vv) is amended to section 606 of the Tax law, to
establish a small business tax credit in the range five thousand to
twenty-five thousand for each employer who hires an unemployed college

graduate for a period of twelve months or more, and a minimum of thir-
ty-five hours per week.

JUSTIFICATION:

Recent February 2011 unemployment data found 9.5% of college graduates
were unemployed, besting an unemployment rate of 8.9% for New York
State. As college graduates are over burdened with tuition debt, lack of
competitive grants offered by the State, credit card debt, cost- of-liv-
ing concerns and uneasiness in adapting to a working society, these
graduates have to overcome many obstacles to earn their first paid posi-
tion out of school. Additionally, lack of prior work experience leads a
majority of college graduates to remain unemployed.

A yearly study performed by Project on student Debt determined by New
York State was ranked 11th in the country with college graduate debt for
public 4-year institutions and private non-profit 4-year institutions.
The average debt in 2010 was approximately $26,000/per college graduate.

To stimulate a job market for college graduates and to tap in to their
knowledge, it is our intent to offer to small businesses a tax credit
for the hiring and retention of college graduates at a minimum thirty-
five hour per week schedule, for a minimum employable period of one
year.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2012: S. 4335A - Referred to Investigations and Government Operations

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable years beginning
on or after January 1, 2014.
