BILL NUMBER:S5809 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to property tax benefits for anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to amend the Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) to clearly provide property tax benefits for anaerobic digestion of agriculturally derived feedstocks that provide manure management and renewable energy generation for use by a farm and/or for sale through the grid; and to repeal those portions of RPTL § 487 that apply to farm waste energy systems to remove confusion with the previously amended RPTL § 483-a.

The amendment includes the removal of the word
