This bill limits annual changes to property tax class rates in Haverstraw, New York, for 2026-2027. It prohibits any single property tax class from increasing its tax base proportion by more than 1% compared to the previous year's adjusted rate. The town must first pass a local law approving this limit, and if calculations would exceed the 1% threshold, the town's governing body must adjust class proportions to maintain a total of 100%. This directly affects Haverstraw property owners whose tax classifications might otherwise shift significantly year-to-year.

This bill changes how interest is calculated on unclaimed child and spousal support payments held as abandoned property. Property owners will no longer receive interest on these payments once they're paid to the state comptroller, except for specific types of abandoned property held by the state for the first five years. For those limited cases, interest will accrue at the overpayment rate (as set by tax law) minus one percentage point. The bill directly affects owners of abandoned properties where child or spousal support payments were unclaimed, altering their financial entitlements under state law.
