MINOR
This bill amends the New York State Real Property Tax Law to update how income is calculated for veterans' and workers' compensation benefits exemptions. The primary change adds 'medicare premiums' to the list of income deductions and removes the phrase 'received by the eligible head of the household' from the income calculation language, making the provision more inclusive of all household members' income sources.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of income calculation for tax exemption eligibility by including medicare premiums as a deductible expense and removing restrictive language about which household member's income is considered.
