This bill provides a tax abatement for owners of electric energy storage equipment (like batteries) placed in service between January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2029. It allows a tax reduction equal to 10% of eligible equipment costs, capped at $62,500 per year, for up to the compliance period. The abatement applies to property taxes and is separate from existing solar energy incentives. It directly affects businesses and property owners investing in grid-stabilizing energy storage systems during this specific two-year window.

This bill amends the state constitution to require a two-thirds majority vote in both legislative chambers for any bill that provides the state with one-time or temporary funding (non-recurring revenue), such as a one-time tax or asset sale. It directly affects the legislative process for passing budget-related bills that generate revenue outside of regular annual appropriations. The key provision changes the voting threshold from a simple majority to two-thirds for these specific bills, while maintaining existing requirements for bill printing and final passage. This would make it harder to pass one-time revenue measures without broader bipartisan support. The bill is currently pending in committee review.
Requires approval by 2/3 vote of membership of the senate and assembly voting separately to increase or decrease any tax rate, impose a new state tax, extend or delete existing state tax.
This bill creates a state tax credit for adoptive parents. It allows New York resident taxpayers to claim a credit equal to 50% of qualified adoption expenses (such as fees, court costs, and attorney fees) up to $10,000 per adoption. Any unused credit amount can be carried forward to future tax years. The credit applies to taxable years beginning January 1, 2026.
This bill requires that money collected from new or higher state taxes (after its effective date) be deposited into a special fund. Each city, village, or town receives a share of these funds based on its property value relative to the state total. The funds must be used directly to reduce local property tax levies, lowering bills for homeowners and businesses in those municipalities. The first payments begin April 1, 2026, and are distributed annually.
Creates a small business renewable tax credit; provides the term "business related renewable energy usage" shall refer to renewable power usage used to further the economic activity of the taxpayer at the primary business location that is clearly delimited from any shared renewable energy power usage cost.
This bill authorizes the town of Monroe to impose a 5% tax on hotel, motel, and bed-and-breakfast room rentals (excluding guests staying 90+ consecutive days as "permanent residents"). It specifies that revenue must be collected by Monroe's fiscal officer and deposited into the town's general fund for any lawful purpose. The tax would expire automatically three years after enactment, with no application to government entities or qualifying nonprofits. The measure directly affects short-term lodging businesses and guests within Monroe, not other municipalities.
Provides for a personal income tax deduction for school supplies paid for out-of-pocket by K-12 teachers in public and nonpublic schools, up to $500 per year.
This bill creates a new tax deduction for K-12 educators. Eligible educators (those teaching at least 900 hours per year in public or private elementary/secondary schools) can deduct up to $300 annually as a single filer or $600 as a married couple filing jointly (with each spouse limited to $300). The deduction covers out-of-pocket work-related expenses like professional development courses, books, supplies, computer equipment, and supplementary materials (athletic supplies are specified for health/physical education courses). It amends tax law to add this provision, effective immediately upon enactment.
