 BILL NUMBER:  S1207

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend chapter 97 of the laws of 2011,
amending the general municipal law and the education law relating to
establishing limits upon school district and local government tax
levies, in relation to eliminating the expiration of and making
permanent certain provisions thereof

 PURPOSE :

The legislation would make the municipal and school district tax caps
permanent

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 repeals provisions that would sunset the tax cap upon
specified legislative actions

Section 2 is the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The enactment of the property tax cap has been truly effective at
generating savings for property owners and businesses. Historically,
skyrocketing local property taxes had forced people to leave their
homes and caused businesses and jobs to leave for other states.

Massachusetts has the longest history with an enacted property tax
cap, after it earned national derision for its high tax burden, and
the moniker "Taxachusetts". Twenty years after the passage of
"Proposition 2 1/2" the residential property tax levy actually dropped
1.6%, adjusted for inflation. In the first three years in New York the
property tax cap has saved $2.6 billion and is projected to save more
than $11.4 billion over the first ten years of implementation.

Tax cap permanence is necessary to continue in the right direction for
New York, and provide surety to New York's businesses and tax payers
that New York's tax climate is one that they can trust to limit
unwieldy and unnecessary tax growth.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2015-16: S.5597 Passed the Senate

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
