This bill amends New York's STAR program to adjust how senior citizens' income is calculated for property tax exemption eligibility. It allows seniors who experience income decreases due to retirement or the death of a spouse to use their next year's income tax return (instead of the current year's) to determine eligibility for the enhanced exemption. To qualify, seniors must file their next year's tax return or provide income documentation to the local assessor by the tax deadline. This change directly affects seniors facing reduced income from retirement or bereavement, ensuring they maintain eligibility during the transition period.
