BILL NUMBER:S6761A
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the definition of consolidation for the consolidation in dissolution of local government
Purpose
To expand the definition of the term "consolidation" for purposes of the "citizen empowerment tax credit" and the "local government citizens re-organization empowerment grant program" to include the creation of a coterminous village and town government.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Amends subdivision 2 of section 750 of the general municipal law to include "the alteration of the borders of a village to be coterminous with a town" within the definition of the term "consolidation" so long as the implementation of the alteration of the borders can be demonstrated by the town and village to the satisfaction of the secretary of state that a consolidation of services shall occur which will produce a net savings to the property taxpayers.
Section 2. Effective Date.
Justification
Current law does not include the creation of a coterminous village and town government within the definition of consolidation for the purpose of the "citizen empowerment tax credit" or the "local government citizens reorganization empowerment grant program." However, this form of consolidation is an option of consolidation of some services for some municipalities and should not be excluded from state benefits of consolidation.
