BILL NUMBER:S4822
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to enacting the "disabled child care act"
Purpose or general idea of bill
Provides for a tax credit for certain amount of money expended on the care of a qualifying disabled child.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 - This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Disabled Child Care Act". Section 2 - Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection ss.
Justification
The purpose of this legislation is to provide a tax credit to aid families who provide informal, unpaid care of their disabled child who has autism, autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities or is physically disabled. Caring for these children and providing quality health care to them can sometimes be a financial drain on the family resources. This bill provides these families with some relief. It is in the best interest of New York State families and society to ensure that children with autism, autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities or physically disabilities are cared for in a home setting rather than being place in a facility away from home. This tax credit can be a small step in reaching that goal.
