The credit is capped at $2.5 million per business annually for up to four years and applies to taxable years beginning before 2020. The credit specifically targets commercial facilities producing biomethane from organic waste decomposition in airless tanks (anaerobic digesters), as defined by the bill. It affects New York-based biomethane producers operating at designated biofuel plants.

This bill creates a new tax credit for New York State residents who pay for qualified caregiving services for eligible family members.

The credit covers 50% of eligible expenses - such as home health services, respite care, or home modifications - up to $3,500 annually, with a total annual cap of $35 million allocated on a first-come basis. Unused credit amounts cannot be refunded or carried forward, and applications require documentation including income and family member details.

This bill extends Ontario County's existing authority to impose additional local sales and use taxes until 2027. It specifically authorizes two tax rate increases: a one-eighth percent rate (for the period ending November 2027) and a combined three-eighths percent rate (also ending November 2027), both added to the county's base tax rate. The extension applies to taxes levied within Ontario County for local government funding. The bill modifies existing tax law to maintain these specific rate structures beyond their previous expiration date. This is a procedural extension of current tax authority, not a new tax.
