S 1136 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the forfeiture by state officers or local officers of STAR exemption eligibility upon conviction of a felony related to public employment

This bill requires state and local officers to permanently lose eligibility for New York's STAR school tax relief exemption if convicted of a felony related to their public duties or office abuse. It directly affects elected or appointed public officials who face criminal convictions tied to their government roles. The key provision amends the Public Officers Law to mandate this forfeiture as an automatic consequence of such a conviction, in addition to other penalties. The change applies immediately to convictions occurring after the law's effective date.
