BILL NUMBER:S1196A
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to providing mandate relief to local school districts
Purpose
The bill allow school districts to pay back any refund of.an excess assessment within three years of the date of the final order.
Summary of provisions
The bill allows school districts to pay back tax refunds in installments for a period of no less than three years of the date of any final orders.
Justification
Over the last several years, many school districts, have found their school aid cut but must still find funding to meet all of the mandates that are placed on school districts. School districts statewide have been forced to cut vital programs in light of school aid costs. New York school districts need real mandate relief. This bill will provide school districts with the ability to pay back any owed tax refunds over a multi-year period helping to alleviate some of the financial burden that school districts are now facing.
