A02513 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A2513
 
SPONSOR: Dilan
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting energy star appli- ances from state sales and compensating use taxes and granting munici- palities the option to provide such exemption; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill offers a sales tax exemption until April 1, 2028 on the purchase of the following energy star qualified appliances; clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, room air conditioners, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers, freezers, programmable thermostats, and ventilating fans.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends the tax law to grant a sales tax exemption for the purchase of the following Energy Star qualified appliances: clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, room air conditioners, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers, freezers, programmable thermostats, and ventilating fans. This exemption expires on April 1, 2028. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Depart- ment of Energy setting strict energy efficiency guidelines.   JUSTIFICATION: ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10-50% less energy and water than standard models. This exemption is for appliances that have earned the ENERGY STAR rating, and-the average homeowner can save $80 a year in energy costs, while protecting the environment. If just one in 10 homes used ENERGY STAR qualified appli- ances, the change would be like planting 1.7 million new acres of trees.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Minimal   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on April 1, 2023 and shall expire and be deemed repealed on April 1, 2028.
