S 132 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to waiving school taxes by a town, city, or county industrial development agency

This bill (S 132) prevents town, city, or county industrial development agencies from waiving taxes that would otherwise go to school districts. It prohibits these agencies from entering into agreements that replace tax payments (like "payment in lieu of taxes") or waiving other taxes directly payable to school districts. The law ensures school districts retain all tax revenue that would have been collected from industrial development projects. This directly affects local industrial development agencies and school districts by requiring full tax payments instead of waivers.
