BILL NUMBER:S7666 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to conservation easement agreement exemptions for certain towns PURPOSE: To ensure that the Town of Orchard Park is able to offers its conservation easement assessment program. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 removes the language stating that this section of law refer to the latest census, and instead replaces it with references to the 2000 census. Section 2 is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Section 491 of the Real Property Tax Law allowed a Town between 27,600 and 27,700 located within a County of 590,00 and 591,000 on the last Census to offer a conservation easement assessment program. At the time of that Census, the Town of Orchard Park qualified as such an entity. However, as a result of the most recent Census it does not. Changing the language from most recent census to the 2000 Census ensures that the Town can offer this easement assessment program now and removes the need to change it in the future as well. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.
