BILL NUMBER:S6761

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the definition of
consolidation for the consolidation in dissolution of local government

PURPOSE:
To expand the definition of the term "consolidation" for purposes of
the "citizen empowerment tax credit" and the "local government
citizens re-organization empowerment grant program" to include the
creation of a coterminous village and town government.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Amends subdivision 2 of section 750 of the general
municipal law to include "the alteration of the borders of a village
to be coterminous with a town" within the definition of the term
"consolidation"

Section 2. Effective Date.

JUSTIFICATION:
Current law does not include the creation of a coterminous village and
town government within the definition of consolidation for the
purpose of the "citizen empowerment tax credit" or the "local
government citizens reorganization empowerment grant program."
However, this form of consolidation is an option of consolidation of
some services for some municipalities and should not be excluded from
state benefits of consolidation.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
