KAMINSKY, BROOKS, HARCKHAM, MAYER, THOMAS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to excluding water system property owned by water-works corporations from special franchise tax THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York state water tax equality act". § 2. Legislative findings and declaration. The legislature finds and declares that property taxes levied upon private water works corpo- rations adversely affects residents receiving water services from such corporations by passing on an additional tax burden that is not shared by neighboring rate payers receiving water from different sources. There is precedent for exempting other utilities from "special franchise" taxes for purposes of reducing rates. Additionally, there is no inten- tion or anticipation that this legislation would have any impact on the property tax cap authorized under section 3-c of the general municipal law and section 2023-a of the education law. It is the intent of the legislature to mandate that any tax reduction pursuant to this act to a private water works corporation must be used to benefit rate-payers through reduced monthly bills and not as a windfall to the corporation. Additionally, this act seeks to ensure, where possible, that the tax burden does not get shifted from current tax classes onto homeowners. § 3. Subdivision 17 of section 102 of the real property tax law, as amended by chapter 569 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows: 17. "Special franchise" means the franchise, right, authority or permission to construct, maintain or operate in, under, above, upon or EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
