AN  ACT  to  amend  the real property tax law, in relation to school tax

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision  2 of section 1306-a of the real property tax
law, as added by section 16 of part B of chapter  389  of  the  laws  of
1997, is amended to read as follows:
  2.  Tax  savings.  (A)  The  tax savings for each parcel receiving the
exemption authorized by section four hundred twenty-five of this chapter
shall be computed by subtracting the amount actually levied against  the
parcel  from  the  amount  that  would  have  been levied if not for the
exemption.
  (B) FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, TAX SAVINGS SHALL BE  CALCULATED
TO  INCLUDE  ANY  SALES  TAX  REVENUE  SHARED  BY A COUNTY WITH A SCHOOL
DISTRICT. SUCH SALES TAX REVENUE SHALL BE ADDED  ON  A  PRO  RATA  BASIS
EQUAL  TO  THE  PERCENTAGE THAT EACH PARCEL RECEIVING AN EXEMPTION IS TO
THE ENTIRE TAX LEVY, AS AN ADDITIONAL TAX LEVY, PRIOR TO CALCULATING THE
SAVINGS.
  (C) A statement shall then be placed on the tax bill for the parcel in
substantially the following form: "Your tax savings this year  resulting
from the New York state school tax relief (STAR) program is $_______."
  S  2.  This  act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to real
property taxes levied for fiscal years commencing on and  after  January
1, 2010.
