A02177 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A2177A    Revised 05/28/25
 
SPONSOR: Lupardo (MS)
  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   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. 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.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Formerly A-4077A of 2024, died in Ways and Means.   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.
