BILL NUMBER:A10297
Title of bill
An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to the Oneida Indian Nation real property tax depository fund and to amend chapter 521 of the laws of 2005, amending the state finance law relating to creating the Oneida Indian Nation real property tax depository fund, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill extends the provisions of Chapter 521 of 2005 which created the Oneida Indian Nation real property tax depository fund consisting of real property tax payments on Oneida Indian nation taxable property.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends section 99-n of the state finance law, as amended by Chapter 146 of the laws of 2005, to extend the provisions of such sections until June 30, 2012.
Existing law
The Provisions of Chapter 521 of 2005 expire June 30, 2010.
Justification
On March 29, 2005, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in City of Sherrill vs. The Oneida Indian Nation of New York finding that most lands owned by the Oneida Indian Nation of New York are taxable parcels under applicable state law and that as such, the Oneida Indian Nation is responsible for payment of property taxes on such lands.
Because there remains some uncertainty as to when and to what extent the taxes will be paid, the county of Oneida; as guarantor of unpaid proper- ty taxes to its municipalities, must be protected until all uncertain- ties are resolved. The tax depository fund provides that protection to the county as well as providing that all municipalities in the county are fairly compensated from any additional taxes collected from the Oneida Indian Nation once all issues are dealt with and the taxes are paid.
