 Introduced  by  Sen.  RAMOS  -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
   printed to be committed to the Committee on Health
 
 AN ACT to amend the public health law, the tax law and the state finance
   law, in relation to enacting the "NYS health care tax reform act"
 
   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 "NYS health care tax reform act".
   § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that:
   The affordability of health care and  health  insurance  is  extremely
 important  in  ensuring  that the maximum number of New York state resi-
 dents can obtain high quality affordable health care.
   Health care and health insurance  are  currently  subject  to  several
 taxes that directly and indirectly increase the cost of health insurance
 coverage,  including  an annual flat tax on all privately insured people
 in New York state called the covered lives assessment and a 9.63%  sales
 tax surcharge on certain hospital based health services (HCRA taxes).
   Collectively,  the  taxes  on health care, health insurance, and other
 taxes were budgeted at $6.5 billion in the FY 2025 state  budget.  These
 taxes  are  now  the  fourth largest revenue source for the state behind
 only the personal income, sales, and broad-based business  taxes.  These
 taxes  have  been  increased  fourteen  times since the program began in
 1997. The program is now far larger  and  is  used  for  purposes  never
 originally contemplated when first enacted.
   The  taxes  on  health  care  and  health  insurance are fundamentally
 regressive taxes because the taxes are unrelated to a consumer's  wealth
 or  ability to pay, directly impact hospitalization costs at a time when
 consumers are facing some of  their  greatest  health  care  challenges,
 directly  increase  the cost of health insurance, and are counterproduc-
 tive to the public  policy  objective  of  making  health  insurance  as
 affordable as possible. Even worse, these taxes are levied in a horribly

 unfair  manner. They are levied on employees and their employers who are
 doing the right  thing  by  providing  employer-based  health  benefits.
 Employers  who  provide  no health benefits to hourly workers, including
 some of the largest employers in the state, pay nothing.
   It is therefore the intent of the legislature that these HCRA taxes be
 repealed  and  replaced so as to maintain the revenue needed to continue
 all of the public goods services currently provided under HCRA,  includ-
 ing  but not limited to indigent care grants, subsidies to medical malp-
 ractice insurers, and the creation of a diverse pool  of  physicians  in
 training.  Repeal of the current HCRA taxes may only occur in connection
 with the preservation of all the public goods.

   (3) Filing fees.  (A) Every subchapter K  limited  liability  company,
 every limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for federal
 income  tax purposes, and every partnership which has any income derived
 from New York sources, determined  in  accordance  with  the  applicable
 rules  of  section six hundred thirty-one of this article as in the case
 of a nonresident individual, shall on or before the fifteenth day of the
 third month following the close of each taxable year make a payment of a

 graph (B) of this paragraph.  The  minimum  filing  fee  is  twenty-five

 al income tax purposes must pay a filing fee of twenty-five dollars  for

 the sum of the partners' or members' shares of federal gross income from
 the  partnership  or limited liability company derived from or connected
 with New York sources, determined in accordance with the  provisions  of
 section  six  hundred  thirty-one of this article as if those provisions

 and any related provisions expressly referred to a computation of feder-
 al gross income from New York sources. For this purpose,  federal  gross
 income  is computed without any allowance or deduction for cost of goods
 sold.
   (II)  The  amount  of the filing fee for taxable years beginning on or
 after January first, two thousand eight will be determined in accordance
 with the following table:
 
 If the New York source gross income is:         The fee is:
 not more than $100,000                          $25

 OVER $1,000,000,000                                 $1,200,000
 
   (C) No credits provided by this article may be taken against  the  fee
 OR SURCHARGE imposed by this paragraph.
