2011-S5509 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S5509

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to the public safety communications
surcharge and repealing
certain provisions of such law relating thereto

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Specifies what percentage of the
public safety communications surcharge funds shall go to counties and
local governments, and what percentage shall go to the state.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Repeals Subdivision 6 of section 186-f of the tax law and a
new subdivision 6 is added.

New subdivision 6 specifies that:

58.3% of surcharge funds shall be used for the provision of grants or
reimbursements to counties for the development, consolidation, or
operation of public safety communications systems or networks
designed to support interoperable communications for first responders.

41.7% shall be jointly apportioned to the state police, the New York
State emergency services revolving loan fund, and other uses by the

state.

Section 2: provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
New York passed a law in 1991 that placed a 70 cent
surcharge on cell phone bills, and in 2002 raised the tax to $1.20
per cell phone. Funding was intended to be transferred from the state
police to local governments to pay for 911 call center services and
technology upgrades. For years, however, the state has been diverting
these funds for other purposes. A 2002 audit by then-Comptroller H.
Carl McCall identified and criticized the state police for spending
the funds on dry cleaning, conferences, pens, decals, garbage removal
and other miscellaneous items unrelated to 911 call center upgrades.
The law was changed in response, but failed to require that wireless
surcharge funds be diverted to local governments.

The New York State 911 Coordinators Association estimates that New
York State has collected over $1.2 billion in surcharges since 1994,
and of the $190 million collected last year the state transferred
only $9.3 million to county governments.

In 2004 Congress passed a law that limited 911 grants to states that
were improperly diverting wireless tax revenue and the U.S.
Government Accountability Office (GAO) has requested and received no
response from
New York state officials over the course of two investigations into
the collection and use of funds for the 50 States and District of
Columbia wireless Enhanced 911 Services.


County governments have been forced to raise sales and/or property
taxes to cover for Albany's improper diversion of these funds. In
addition to being irresponsible, such improper allocation of funds
may be illegal. For example, the Tennessee Attorney General recently
concluded that raiding of 911 funds in that state was illegal based
on the Federal Enhance 911 Act of 1994.

Removing discretion from the state in deciding how wireless surcharge
funds will be allocated will ensure local governments receive the
funds necessary to upgrade 911 call centers and ensure counties are
not forced to raise property and/or sales taxes or fees to cover for
Albany's improper withholding of public safety communications
surcharge funds.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred
twentieth day after it shall have become law.
