 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for
the cost of purchasing technology to remotely monitor persons with
Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia


 PURPOSE :
The purpose of this bill is to provide a tax reimbursement towards the
purchase of technology to remotely monitor persons with Alzheimer's
disease and/or dementia.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill incorporates into the New York State Tax Law that a credit
will be issued to any family member and/or home health care worker who
has purchased technology to remotely monitor a person suffering from
Alzheimer's disease and/or Dementia. The credit for any technology to
remotely monitor a person who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease and/or
Dimentia will only get a tax credit if the device is equal to or under
one thousand dollars.

 EXISTING LAW :
New law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Under New York State Tax Law people who purchase a remote device to
monitor their family members or love ones suffering from Alzheimer's

assistance at all times. Most family members must work and are not
able to monitor the whereabouts and movements of their ill family
member at all times. Providing a tax credit for these family members
or home care workers when they purchase these remote monitoring
devices, Make it a more viable and affordable way to supervise their
loved ones suffering from such diseases and in need constant
supervision.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
