 AN  ACT  to  amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to

   local real property tax levies
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 171-a of the tax  law,  as  separately  amended  by
 chapters  481  and  484  of the laws of 1981, is amended by adding a new
 subdivision 3 to read as follows:
   3. ANY AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM TAXES, INTEREST AND  PENALTIES  COLLECTED
 OR  RECEIVED  BY  THE COMMISSIONER OR THE COMMISSIONER'S DULY AUTHORIZED
 AGENT AS SET FORTH AND PRESCRIBED BY SUBDIVISION ONE  OF  THIS  SECTION,
 WHICH ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO AN INCREASE IN THE RATE OF SUCH TAXES OVER ANY
 RATES WHICH WERE IN EFFECT ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SUBDIVISION, OR
 THE  IMPOSITION OF NEW TAXES WHICH WERE NOT IMPOSED PRIOR TO SUCH EFFEC-
 TIVE DATE, SHALL BE DEPOSITED TO THE TAX REDUCTION UTILIZATION  SECURITY
 TARGET  FUND  ESTABLISHED  BY  SECTION FIFTY-FOUR-N OF THE STATE FINANCE
 LAW. THE TAX COMMISSIONER AND THE COMPTROLLER SHALL MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF
 ACCOUNTS SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE COLLECTED OR RECEIVED  FROM  EACH
 OF  THE  TAXES  IMPOSED BY THE SECTIONS ENUMERATED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF
 THIS SECTION WHICH REPRESENT SUCH INCREASED AMOUNTS OR WHICH WERE  FIRST
 IMPOSED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SUBDIVISION.
   §  2. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 54-n to
 read as follows:
   § 54-N. TAX REDUCTION UTILIZATION SECURITY TARGET FUND.  1.  BEGINNING
 APRIL  FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY-TWO,  AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER, EACH
 CITY, VILLAGE AND TOWN OUTSIDE A VILLAGE SHALL RECEIVE AN  APPROPRIATION
 OF STATE FUNDS FROM AMOUNTS RESULTING FROM THE INCREASE OR IMPOSITION OF
 ADDITIONAL  TAXES  AS  DETERMINED  BY  SUBDIVISION  THREE OF SECTION ONE
 HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE-A OF THE TAX LAW.

   2. THE AMOUNT APPROPRIATED TO EACH MUNICIPALITY SHALL  BE  THE  ENTIRE

 LEVY.    AFTER  THE  INITIAL  DETERMINATION  OF THE ANNUAL TAX LEVY, THE

 ADJUST  THE  TAX LEVY BEFORE FILING THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO SECTION NINE
 HUNDRED FOUR OF THE REAL PROPERTY TAX LAW.

 TO THE CREDIT OF THE LOCAL ASSISTANCE FUND IN THE GENERAL  FUND  OF  THE
 STATE TREASURY.

 ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
