                                BILL NUMBER:S3288       REVISED MEMO 05/30/2013

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting
fuel used by ambulance services from certain taxes

PURPOSE:

To remove the sales tax burden on the purchase of diesel fuel used by
commercial ambulance services certified under Article 30 of the Public
Health Law in transporting and delivering care to patients.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill amends section 282-a of the tax law, section 301-b of the
tax law and section 1115 of the tax law to exempt commercial ambulance
services from sales tax on the purchase of diesel fuel.

JUSTIFICATION:

The commercial ambulance industry provides approximately one-half of
all of the emergency medical transports in New York State, delivering
high quality medical care and transportation to patients. All
ambulance service providers are required to treat and transport
patients, regardless of their ability to pay, anti commercial services
have built into their corporate cultures the ethic of always
delivering the highest level of care, notwithstanding reimbursement.

The reality is, however, that often ambulance services go
un-reimbursed, and providers have no access to bad debt and charity
pools to help offset the cost of this care. Similar tax exemptions are
currently in place for competing municipal and volunteer service.
Extending a similar exemption to commercial ambulance services
certified under Article 30 of the Public Health law will provide
critical relief and help ensure that these ambulance services can
continue to compete and deliver high-quality health care.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S.2717A/A.3400A of 2011-12:

S.3196/A.4763 of 2009-10.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

With an effective date of September 1, 2013, this bill would reduce
State and local tax revenues by an estimated $1.8 million in State
fiscal year 2013-14.The State's share of this revenue reduction would
be approximately $1.2 million. In SFY 2014-15, its first full year in
effect, this bill would reduce annual State and local tax revenue by
an estimated $3.6 million. The State's share of this revenue reduction
would be approximately $2.5 million.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect on the first of September next succeeding
the date on which it shall have become law.
