AN  ACT  to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the enhanced
  STAR income eligibility requirements

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

  Section 1. Clause (C) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivi-
sion  4  of  section  425  of  the  real property tax law, as amended by
section 3 of part E of chapter 83 of the laws of  2002,  is  amended  to
read as follows:
  (C)  For  final assessment rolls to be completed in each ensuing year,
the [applicable income tax year,]  cost-of-living-adjustment  percentage
and  applicable  increase  percentage shall all be advanced by one year,
and the income standard shall be the previously-applicable income stand-
ard increased by the  new  cost-of-living-adjustment  percentage.    FOR
PURPOSES  OF  ELIGIBILITY IN ENSUING YEARS, THE APPLICANT SHALL HAVE THE
OPTION OF BASING HIS OR HER INCOME ON EITHER (I) HIS OR HER  INCOME  FOR
THE INCOME TAX YEAR ENDING IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE YEAR IN WHICH HE OR
SHE  IS  FILING  FOR  THE  EXEMPTION,  OR (II) HIS OR HER INCOME FOR THE
INCOME TAX YEAR IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE INCOME TAX YEAR  DETERMINED  IN
SUBCLAUSE  (I) OF THIS CLAUSE. If there should be a year for which there
is no applicable increase percentage due to a general  benefit  increase
as  defined  by  subdivision  three  of  subsection  (i) of section four
hundred fifteen of title forty-two of the United States code, the appli-
cable increase percentage for purposes  of  this  computation  shall  be
deemed  to be the percentage which would have yielded that general bene-
fit increase.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
