Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exempting veterans organizations in New York city from sewer and water charges
Purpose or general idea of bill
To exempt veterans organizations in New York City from sewer and water charges.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends the public authorities law so that veterans organizations, within New York City, would be exempt from charges for the supply of water and sewer services.
Justification
Most veterans organizations operate on extremely small budgets, and due to rising costs of water and sewer services, could be forced to close their doors due to lack of funds. An exemption from water and sewer service charges would save these organizations some much needed money and allow them to devote their limited resources to serving our city's veteran population.
