                                BILL NUMBER:S3866

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to the definition of "qualified
reservation"

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill amends subdivision (16) of
Section 470 of the Tax Law to eliminate from the definition of a
"qualified reservation" lands held by an Indian nation or tribe that
is located within the reservation of that nation or tribe within the
state.
Thus, the definition of a "qualified reservation" would essentially be
limited to lands within the state over which an Indian nation
exercises governmental power and that are either: held by the nation
subject to restrictions by the united States against alienation; or
held in trust by the United States for the benefit of such Indian
nation.

JUSTIFICATION:
In 2010, the New York Court of Appeals issued its
decision in Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v. Cayuga County wherein
it reaffirmed the Appellate Division 4th Department's 2009 ruling
that the Cayuga Nation did not have to collect the sales tax on
cigarettes sold to non-Indian consumers at two stores located on

their aboriginal land.
Specifically, the Court ruled that despite the fact that the Cayuga
Nation has no present reservation in the state the properties
involved met the statutory test under the Tax Law of being a
qualified reservation (wherein the state is without power to impose.a
tax on sales to Indians) because their reservation, established by
the treaty of Canandaigua in 1794, was never disestablished by
Congress. Thus, the Court ruled that the two Cayuga Nation stores
were located on reservation land even though the Nation exercised no
sovereign control over them. Ultimately, only Congress or the United
States Supreme Court can settle the issue concerning the
ramifications of a.Native American nation acquiring real property in
an unrecognized but also un-disestablished reservation. Until that
occurs, this bill would require that real property owned by a nation
could only be deemed a qualified reservation under the state Tax Law
if that Native American nation exercises governmental authority over
such real property.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Could result in a minimal increase in sales tax
collection from any affected stores.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, the Indian law and the real property tax law,
in relation to the definition of "qualified reservation"

PURPOSE:
To clarify that Indian nations are only exempt from
the payment of sales taxes on cigarettes purchased for their own use
on reservations where they exercise sovereignty over such lands and
that only such lands are exempt from the payment of real property
taxes.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill amends subdivision (16) of
Section 470 of the Tax Law to eliminate from the definition of a
"qualified reservation" lands held by an Indian nation or tribe that
are located within the reservation of that nation or tribe within the
state and instead provides that the term "qualified reservation" be
limited to lands within the state over which an Indian nation
lawfully exercises tribal sovereignty or lands over which the Indian
nation or tribe exercises governmental power and that are either:
held by the nation subject to restrictions by the United States
against alienation pursuant to the Seneca Nation (New York) Land
Claims Settlement Act (25 U.S.C. 1774 et seq.); or held in trust by

the United States for the benefit of such Indian nation. The bill
also amends Section 6 of the Indian Law and Section 454 of the Real
Property Tax Law by defining "Indian reservation" to be consistent
with the definition of "qualified reservation" in Section 470 of the
Tax Law.

JUSTIFICATION:
In 2010, the New York Court of Appeals issued its
decision in Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v.
Cayuga County wherein
it reaffirmed the Appellate Division 4th Department's 2009 ruling
that the Cayuga Nation did not have to collect the sales tax on
cigarettes sold to non-Indian consumers at two stores located on
their aboriginal land.
Specifically, the Court ruled that despite the fact that the Cayuga
Nation has no present reservation in the state, the properties
involved met the statutory test under the Tax Law of being a
qualified reservation (wherein the state is without power to impose a
tax on sales to Indians) because their reservation, established by a
treaty in 1789 and further acknowledged by the treaty of Canandaigua
in 1794, was never disestablished by Congress. Thus, the Court ruled
that the two Cayuga Nation stores were located on reservation land
even though the Nation exercised no sovereign control over them.
Ultimately, only Congress or the United States Supreme Court can
settle the issue concerning the ramifications of a Native American

nation acquiring real property in an unrecognized but also
un-disestablished reservation, Until that occurs, this bill would
require that real property owned by a nation could only be deemed a
qualified reservation under
support for the bill's provisions can also be found in the 2005
decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in City of
Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York which held that
the Oneida do not exercise sovereignty in whole or in part over parcels
they recently purchased on the open market and that such parcels are
subject to real property taxes. The holding in Sherrill
applies not
only to the specific parcels within the City of Sherrill at issue but
also to lands recently purchased by the Oneida within their historic
reservation of 250,000 to 300,000 acres. The principle of
Sherrill
applies equally to lands recently purchased by other New York tribes.
Nevertheless, the Oneida have refused to pay real property taxes and
have argued that these parcels are exempt from such taxes under
Section 6 of the Indian Law and Section 454 of the Real Property Tax
Law because in the historic reservation has not been
"disestablished." In 2010, the Supreme Court of the United States
granted certiorari on two questions, including "whether the ancient
Oneida reservation in New York was disestablished or diminished."
After the Oneida passed a tribal declaration and ordinance waiving
"its sovereign immunity to enforcement of real property taxation
through foreclosure by state, county and local governments," the
Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Second Circuit and remanded
the case to that court, where it is still pending. This bill would
provide that real property owned by an Indian nation or tribe could
be deemed an "Indian reservation" under the Indian Law and under the
Real Property Tax Law only if that tribe or nation lawfully exercises
tribal sovereignty over such real property, or that property is (1)
either held by the nation or tribe subject to restriction by the
United States again alienation pursuant to the Seneca Nation (New
York Land Claims Settlement Act (25 U.S.C. 1774 et seq.); or(2)
held in trust by the United States for the benefit of such
nation or tribe as set forth in the bill.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Could result in a minimal increase in sales tax
collection from any affected stores.
