BILL NUMBER: S595

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the business corporation law and the
not-for-profit corporation law, in relation to exempting veterans from
the payment of certain fees relating to corporations

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation would exempt veterans from paying certain filing fees
relating to the incorporation of a business.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill adds a new section 104-B to the business corpo-
ration law to exempt veterans from certain fees outlined in secti on
104-A of the business corporation law within five years of being honor-
ably discharged or released under honorable circumstances, a nd includes
the definition of the word "veteran" as used in the new section.

Section 2 of the bill adds a new section 104-B to the not-for-profit

corporation law to exempt veterans from certain fees outlined in section
104A of the not-for-profit corporation law within five years of being
honorably discharged or released under honorable circu mstances, and
includes the definition of the word "veteran" as used in the new
section.

Section 3 of the bill provides that this act shall take effect imme-
diately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Veterans of our nation's armed services provide an extraordinary service
to our country by devoting their time, effort, and talents t o protect-
ing us from harm. We owe it to them to make sure that when their service
is up, they are easily able to reintegrate into soc iety and are given
every opportunity to succeed, provide for themselves and their families,
and contribute to New York's vibrant busi ness community.

This legislation would waive business incorporation fees for veterans
within five years of being honorably discharged or released und er
honorable circumstances, so that they will face fewer administrative and
financial barriers to starting and growing their own businesses when
their military service is finished. It would send a strong message that
New York State supports those individuals who hav e made an extraor-
dinary sacrifice for their state and country, and encourage the growth
of small businesses in our state.
