Extends provisions of law relating to the disposition of sales and compensating use tax revenue in the county of Westchester.

2013-S5214 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S5214

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 272 of the laws of 1991,
amending the tax law relating to the method of disposition of sales
and compensating use tax revenue in Westchester county and enacting
the Westchester county spending limitation act, in relation to
extending the expiration thereof

PURPOSE OF BILL:  This bill extends the expiration of the provisions
of the Westchester County spending limitation act from May 31, 2013 to
May 31, 2015.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:  Subdivision e of section 4 and
sections 5, 7 and 16 of chapter 272 of the laws of 1991, amending the
tax law in relating to the method of disposition of sales and
compensating use tax revenue in Westchester County and enacting the
Westchester County spending limitation act, as amended by section 1 of
part DD of chapter 118 of the laws of 2001 are amended to extend the
expiration thereof from May 31, 2013 to May 31, 2015.

JUSTIFICATION:  The Westchester County Spending Limitation Act, as
first enacted by Chapter 272 of the Laws of 1991, added a new Section
1262-b to the New York State Tax ("Tax Law") to provide for a special
distribution of Westchester County's sales tax revenue. Pursuant to
the terms of Chapter 272 of the Laws of 1991, Section 1262-b of the
Tax Law was to expire on June 30, 1994. This sunset date has been

extended, at two-year intervals, by Acts of the state Legislature
adopted in the calendar year preceding that of the scheduled
expiration date, as follows: L. 1993, Chap 265 extending expiration
date from June 30, 1994 to May 31, 1996; L. 1995, Chap 180 (extending
expiration date from May 31, 1996 to May 31, 1998); L. 1997, Chap. 676
(extending expiration date from May 31, 1998 to May 31, 2000); L.
1999, Chap.  285 (extending expiration date from May 31, 2000 to May
31, 2002); L.  2001, Chap. 118, Pt, DD (extending expiration date from
May 31, 2002 to May 31, 2004). L. 2003 and L.  2005, Chap. 679,
extended the expiration date to May 31, 2008. L.  2007, Chap. 367
extended the expiration date to May 31, 2010. Chap.  112 of 2009
extended the expiration date to May 31, 2012. Chap. 199 of 2011
extended the expiration to May 31, 2014.

The state legislature's adoption of an Act in the form annexed hereto
would extend the expiration date of the Westchester County Spending
Limitation Act from May 31, 2013 to May 31, 2015, and would authorize
Westchester County's continued distribution of its sales tax revenue
in the manner set forth in section 1262-b of the Tax Law until such
extended expiration date. This extender applies to both the original
sales tax authorized in 1991 and the additional sales tax authorized
in 1994.

Since its inception, the sales tax has been a vitally important source
of revenue to the county, its local governments, and school districts.

Providing for the extension of this provision during the 2011
legislative session will enable the County, and the various local
governments, and school districts that rely on the revenues generated
from the sales and compensating use tax to more appropriately plan
their budgets for the coming fiscal year.


LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  This bill extends the provisions of the
Westchester County spending Limitation act which have been statutorily
extended by two year intervals since 1991.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  No cost to state and positive fiscal impact to
Westchester County, its municipal governments, and school districts.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
