                                 BILL NUMBER:  S191

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for
the cost of purchasing a gun safe

 PURPOSE :

To make more affordable the purchase of gun safes.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one amends Section 606 of the Tax Law by adding a new
subsection (ccc) which names this tax credit the Home Defense Tax
Credit. It provides a refundable tax credit in an amount equal to
twenty-five percent of the cost of a gun safe up to a maximum credit
of two hundred fifty dollars purchased by a resident taxpayer on or
after January 15, 2013. "Gun safe" is also defined.

Section two makes such tax credit applicable to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

 EXISTING LAW :

Currently, there is no tax credit for the purchase of a gun safe.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
enshrines the right of the people to keep and bear arms, which is
America's first freedom and vital to the preservation of personal
liberty. The use of a gun safe for the proper storage of firearms can
help safeguard homeowners and their families, while also ensuring that
a firearm is quickly and safely accessible in the event it is required
for personal protection or home defense. The provision of a state tax
credit to offset the costs of purchasing a gun safe is a responsible
public policy solution to promote the responsible storage of firearms,
the maintenance of a firearm for the defense of home and family, and
also to preserve the Second Amendment Constitutional rights of New
Yorkers to keep and bear arms.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

S5221A of 2013 referred to Investigations and Gov. Operations; S5221B
of 2014 referred to Investigations and Gov. Operations; S2454 of 2016
referred to Investigations and Gov. Ops.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

There would be increased revenue generated in New York's economy by
additional sales of gun safes. Local economies will benefit as those
who purchased gun safes will receive their tax credits and provide
local stimulus. This tax credit "would reduce revenue to the State by
$2.0 million in SFY 2015-16 and 7.7 million annually in subsequent
fiscal years." (Fiscal Note 3/24/15 Department of Taxation & Finance)

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately, and shall apply to years beginning 2017.
