THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

Section 1. Subdivision (a) of section 1402-a of the tax law, as added
by chapter 61 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows:
(a) In addition to the tax imposed by section fourteen hundred two of
this article, a tax is hereby imposed on each conveyance of residential
real property or interest therein when the consideration for the entire
conveyance is one million dollars (ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION) or more. For
purposes of this section, residential real property shall include any
premises that is or may be used in whole or in part as a personal resi-
dence, and shall include a one, two, or three-family house, an individ-
ual condominium unit, or a cooperative apartment unit. The rate of such
tax shall be one percent of the consideration or part thereof attribut-
able to the residential real property. Such tax shall be paid at the
same time and in the same manner as the tax imposed by section fourteen
hundred two of this article. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE ONE
MILLION DOLLAR AMOUNT SHALL BE ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION IN EACH CALENDAR
YEAR BY MULTIPLYING THE AMOUNT BY THE RATIO OF (I) THE AVERAGE MONTHLY
VALUE OF THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD ENDING ON
JUNE THIRTIETH OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CALENDAR YEAR DIVIDED BY
(II) THE AVERAGE MONTHLY VALUE OF THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR THE
TWELVE MONTH PERIOD ENDING ON JUNE THIRTIETH OF THE YEAR IN WHICH THIS
SUBDIVISION BECAME A LAW, AND ROUNDING THE AMOUNT TO THE NEAREST THOU-
SAND DOLLARS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
MEANS THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (FOR ALL URBAN CONSUMERS, U.S. CITY AVER-

STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
§ 2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
the date on which it shall have become a law.
