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.
