AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for a
  portion of the cost of installing a radon reduction system

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

  Section  1.  This  act  shall  be known and may be cited as the "radon
related cancer prevention act".
  S 2. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that the United  States
Environmental  Protection Agency together with the American Lung Associ-
ation agree that radon gas exposure is the second leading cause of  lung
cancer  in  the  United States. Tens of thousands of people die annually
from radon related lung cancer, and in  2000  there  were  an  estimated
9,800  new cases of lung cancer in New York state, many linked to radon.
The legislature further finds that the installation of radon  mitigation
systems, and preventative measures during new building construction, are
relative  inexpensive  solutions, which can dramatically decrease and/or
eliminate the risk of contracting radon related  lung  cancer.  Further-
more,  as  of  1996  the  costs  of  treating lung cancer exceed $26,000
initially, and exceed $11,000 every year of life thereafter.  Therefore,
the  legislature  finds  that it is in the interest of the state to help
protect its citizens from contracting lung cancer related to the  deadly
gas.
  S  3. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
(ss) to read as follows:
  (SS) CREDIT FOR INSTALLATION OF RADON REDUCTION SYSTEM. (1) A RESIDENT
OWNER OF REAL PROPERTY, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION TWELVE OF SECTION  ONE
HUNDRED  TWO  OF  THE  REAL  PROPERTY TAX LAW, SHALL BE ALLOWED A CREDIT
AGAINST THE TAX OTHERWISE DUE UNDER THIS ARTICLE IN AN AMOUNT  EQUAL  TO

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