A04077 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4077A
 
SPONSOR: Lupardo
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to removing emer- gency medical services from the limit on real property tax levies by local governments; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this legislation is to remove emergency medical services from the tax cap for local municipalities in order to support local EMS services.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (g) of subdivision 2 of section 3-c of the general municipal law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (v). Section 2: Effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Many communities across New York State are struggling with providing emergency medical services to their residents for a number of reasons including rising costs, low reimbursement rates, and the lack of trained personnel. In addition, independent volunteer organizations are still unable to direct bill insurance companies resulting in significant financial losses. Residents depend on reliable EMS services to be there when needed, but in many communities that is no longer the case; residents have experi- enced delays in response times putting their health and safety at risk. This legislation would remove EMS services from the real property tax cap, which would allow local municipalities to expand and better support their local EMS services. This measure is needed in the short-term while other solutions are being discussed.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is new legislation.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: This legislation will have no fiscal implications for State or local governments.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately, and shall first apply to the levy of taxes by local governments for the fiscal year that begins in 2025; provided that the provisions of this act shall expire and be deemed repealed June 15, 2030; provided further that this act shall continue to apply to the levy of taxes by local governments for any fiscal year beginning in any calendar year during which this act is in effect.
