 AN ACT in relation to directing the state board  of  real  property  tax

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. For purposes of this act, the term "real property tax satu-
 ration"  shall be considered a broad term that encompasses the impact of
 high percentages of tax exempt real property within  a  municipality  on
 the overall economic viability of the municipality.
   §  2.  The state board of real property tax services is authorized and
 directed to conduct a study on real property tax saturation. Such  study
 shall include, but not be limited to:
   (a)  the  percentage  of real property within each county of the state
 that is exempt from real property taxation;
   (b) an examination of each county within the top twentieth  percentile
 of  all counties for the highest percentage of real property exempt from
 taxation, such examination to include the impact  of  such  exempt  real
 property over the five year period preceding the study on:
   (i) the housing market in such counties, including new construction;
   (ii) the growth or loss of new small businesses in such counties;
   (iii) the growth or loss of new jobs in such counties;
   (iv) the population growth or loss of such counties;
   (v)  the  number  of  tax  exempt not-for-profit organizations in such
 counties;
   (vi) the percentage of dedicated park land in such counties;
   (vii) any other information the board deems appropriate;
   (c) feasible revisions to real property tax policies,  procedures  and
 practices that have the potential to reduce the tax burden in properties
 within such counties that are subject to real property taxation; and
