BILL NUMBER: S4555 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to making certain tax abatement forms more readily available to seniors and authorizing certain entities to assist in the completion of such forms PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would encourage a decentralization of services and assistance related to the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) and Disabled Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE) program by requiring that forms and assistance be made available to applicants and participants in the community. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section one of this bill amends subdivision 1 of section 467-b of the Real Property Tax Law to establish the definition of "supervising agency" as the municipal agency administering the SCRIE/DRIE program to simplify further changes to the statute. Section two of this bill amends section 467-b of the Real Property Tax Law to add a new subdivision 3-a to require the development and implementation of a plan to make participating in the SCRIE/DRIE program easier for applicants and participants in the community.
