TITLE  OF BILL:   An act to amend the tax law, in relation to enacting
the "disabled child care act"

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Provides for a tax credit for certain amount of money expended on  the
care of a qualifying disabled child.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section  1 - This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Disabled
Child Care Act".

Section 2 - Section 606 of the tax law is  amended  by  adding  a  new
subsection ww.

JUSTIFICATION:

The  purpose  of  this  legislation  is to provide a tax credit to aid
families who provide informal, unpaid care of their disabled child who
has autism, autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities or is
physically disabled. Caring for these children and  providing  quality
health  care  to them can sometimes be a financial drain on the family
resources. This bill provides these families with some relief.  It  is

in  the best interest of New York State families and society to ensure
that children with autism,  autism  spectrum  disorder,  developmental
disabilities  or  physically  disabilities  are  cared  for  in a home
setting rather than being place in a facility away from home. This tax
credit can be a small step in reaching that goal.
