BILL NUMBER:S1496

Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to payments in lieu of taxes for the lease of state park lands

Purpose

This legislation provides that leases of state park lands require the lessee to make payments in lieu of taxes to school districts within which the lands to be leased are located.

Summary of provisions

The Real Property Tax Law is amended by adding a new section 405 to provide that leases of state park lands require the lessee to make payments in lieu of taxes to school districts within which the lands to be leased are located.

Justification

As school districts across the State struggle to deal with the rising costs of educating children at an equitable price to the taxpayer, the districts and the taxpayers benefit greatly from as many business entities on the tax rolls as possible.

For-profit entities with leases operating in public state parks should make payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) to school districts within which the lands to be leased are located. This legislation would require businesses entering into a lease to operate in State parkland to enter into a PILOT agreement with local school districts.
