 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to
providing credits against the tax imposed upon employers providing
certain day care services to the children of its employees

 PURPOSE :

This legislation creates a tax incentive program for
employer-supported day care services for the pre-school and primary
school-age children of its employees.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 210, 1456, 1511 and 606 are amended with the addition of new
subsections.

 JUSTIFICATION :

These changes in the Tax Law establish a twenty percent tax credit
program for employers who provide certain day care services to their
employees. The tax credit will be provided for day care services for
pre-school and primary school-age children, including:

1. employer contracts with third party day care providers;

2. employer provision of direct reimbursement to employees for child
care expenses;

3. operational costs of employer provided on-site or near site day
care services; or

4. expenditures incurred for the training of employees of third party
providers who render day care services to their employees.  In order
to meet the guidelines of this tax program, all of the day care
services utilized must meet the governing standards of the State
Department of Social Services and the Human Resources Administration
for New York City. In addition, this bill provides that no credit will
be given to employers who discriminate against their employees on the
basis of race, creed, religion, sex, or national origin, as a
determining factor in making day care services available. This
legislation will encourage employers to provide day care services for
their employees, which will undoubtedly encourage individuals to enter
the work force. These aforementioned propensities will subsequently
contribute to the enhancement of the New York State economy.
