 BILL NUMBER:  S2213

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the education law, in relation to
tuition assistance program awards

 PURPOSE :

To raise the net taxable income eligible for Tuition Assistance
Program (TAP) awards from $80,000 to $100,000, raise the minimum TAP
award to $1,000 and adjust the formula for awards.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends subparagraph (ii) of paragraph a of subdivision 3 of
section 667 of the education law to increase the net taxable income
threshold from $80,000 to $100,000. This also redefines the TAP
schedule so the lowest minimum TAP award will be $1,000. This
provision would also reform the TAP schedule by creating new brackets
for incomes and provide for a defined TAP award amount for each income
bracket. The current TAP schedule would continue to be in effect for
the 2016-2017 academic year and this formula would replace that
schedule for the 2017-2018 academic year and thereafter.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This bill raises the net taxable income eligibility threshold to
capture more New York State families. Many families throughout the
State are struggling to pay for higher education. Students graduate
with crushing student loan debt burdens.

The bill also increases the minimum TAP award amount from $500 to
$1,000 to alleviate some of that burden. By providing an increased
award to all eligible recipients, this will allow more middle class
families to be eligible to receive an award.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2016 S.7573

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

$87.4 million.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all awards
commencing with the 2017-18 academic year.
