BILL NUMBER: S1033

SPONSOR: RIVERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing personal income
taxpayers with a modification reducing federal adjusted gross income for
tuition paid at any institution of higher education

 
SUMMARY:

Subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax law is amended to allow for up
to three thousand dollars of the amount paid for tuition at any institu-
tion of higher education within New York State provided that the expense
is for the taxpayer or for the taxpayer or for a dependent of the
taxpayer.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In New York State, higher education. is becoming beyond the reach of
those with ambitions to obtain a degree. Tuition and fees at public 4

year universities have increased 127% in the past two decades, and the
New York State's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards have not
increased proportionately to cover these rising costs. Consequently,
many more students are covering these costs with loans. In this state,
nearly 3 million students have loan debt, totaling to an amount of
approximately $73 billion in student loan debt.

The costs of higher education and large student loan debt can potential-
ly stymie economic growth and viability of New York State and the United
States. Graduates with student loan debt are less likely to become home-
owners, less likely to set aside money for their children's college
tuition and more likely to delay making contributions to their own
retirement.

In order to continue to have an educated populace, it is important to
provide safety nets and support students past and future. This proposal
would reward graduates by offering a tax deduction of up to three thou-
sand dollars of the amount paid for tuition at any institution of higher
education within New York State, provided that the expense is for the
taxpayer or a dependent of the taxpayer. The tax credit will signify New
York State's commitment to higher education and the future of our citi-
zens.
