BILL NUMBER: S8348

SPONSOR: MAYER
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to taxation of state lands in the town of Bedford in Westchester county

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill relates to the taxation of state lands in the Town of Bedford
in Westchester County.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill adds state land in the Town of Bedford in West-
chester County to the tax rolls.

Section 2 of the bill ensures that state land in the Town of Bedford in
Westchester County is subject to school property taxation.

Section 3 sets the effective date.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2016: S.8202 Latimer - Referred to Rules

 
EXISTING LAW:

The state does not pay any property taxes in the Town of Bedford.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Town of Bedford and the Bedford Central School District have
suffered the unnecessary and unacceptable implications of the State's
general unwillingness to address unfunded mandates.  Correspondingly,
the State has provided tax dollars for State owned land on a haphazard
basis that does not include land within the Town of Bedford. The Bedford
Central School District deserves to be paid for the State prisons within
their jurisdictions. This is valuable land and the State should pay its
fair share of taxes to lessen the burden on local property taxpayers.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Positive implications to be determined.

 
IMPACT ON REGULATION OF BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUALS:

None.

 
EFFECT ON FINES, TERMS OF IMPRISONMENT OR OTHER PENAL SANCTIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
