S 2677 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Includes providing onsite child care services or facilitating new child care services by a project into a uniform tax exemption policy

This bill (S 2677) amends tax exemption policies to require agencies and authorities to consider whether a project provides onsite child care services or facilitates new child care services as part of evaluating applications for real property, mortgage recording, and sales tax exemptions. It directly affects developers and project owners seeking tax exemptions, as well as municipal and school district authorities administering these exemptions. The key mechanism adds child care provision as a specific factor - alongside job creation, environmental impact, and public support - to the existing list of criteria agencies must evaluate when approving tax exemptions. This change does not create new exemptions but integrates child care accessibility into the standard review process for qualifying projects.
