ENGLEBRIGHT -- read once and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means AN ACT to amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to creating the boat launch preservation act and establishing the dedi- cated boat launch site fund THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "boat launch preservation act". S 2. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the water- ways of this great state have always been a vital source of economic activity. The legislature further finds that although the economic activity found on today's waterways have more to do with recreational boating than shipping, it still remains an important factor in the economic health of the state. It has been found that upwards of one percent of the gasoline consumed within the state of New York is used to power vessels traveling on our waterways. It is the intent of the legis- lature that the taxes collected on such boating gasoline be used to keep our waterways a viable resource for the next century of New Yorkers. S 3. Subdivision 2 of section 289-e of the tax law, as added by chap- ter 329 of the laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows: 2. All taxes, interest, penalties and fees collected or received by the commissioner [of taxation and finance after March thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three] under the taxes imposed by section two hundred eighty-four of this article AFTER MARCH THIRTY-FIRST, NINETEEN HUNDRED NINETY-THREE AND BEFORE APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN shall be deposited in the dedicated highway and bridge trust fund and disposed of pursuant to section eighty-nine-b of the state finance law; AND ON AND AFTER APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN, ONE PERCENT OF SUCH TAXES, INTEREST, PENALTIES AND FEES, BUT NOT MORE THAN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS EACH STATE FISCAL YEAR, SHALL BE DEPOSITED IN THE DEDICATED BOAT LAUNCH EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
