BILL NUMBER: S1316
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing personal income
taxpayers with a modification reducing federal adjusted gross income
for tuition paid at any institution of higher education
SUMMARY :
Subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax law is amended to allow for
up to three thousand dollars of the amount paid for tuition at any
institution of higher education within New York State provided that
the expense is for the taxpayer or for the taxpayer or for a dependent
of the taxpayer.
JUSTIFICATION :
It is well known that the key to the future of our state lies in the
education of our young men and women. While it has always been the
mission of our institutions of higher education to assist in the
under-graduate population,recent budgetary cutbacks have severely
curtailed the educational opportunity for many. In his proposed
1997-98 State Budget, Governor Pataki projected an increase in tuition
of $400 and cut the Tuition Assistance Program by $175 million. This
comes in a time when our student population needs to be better
educated, better trained and better prepared for the workforce.
