BILL NUMBER:S3763A
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to the NY youth works tax incentive program
Purpose
To extend through 2014 the New York Youth Works tax credit program which provides tax incentives to employers for employing at risk youth in part-time and full-time positions.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one amends the labor law by amending 25-a to include the year two thousand and fourteen, amends the definition of "qualified employee" to include residents of a "town" and, amends the population threshold from sixty-two thousand to fifty thousand or more.
Justification
Unemployment among New York's youth is at a record high, especially among inner city minority youth. The "NY Youth Works" program was created to combat high unemployment among disadvantaged youth live in the state's metro areas.
Signed into law by Governor Cuomo in 2011 and administered by the Department of Labor, the program supports job training and employment for eligible youth ages 16 to 24 and includes $25 million in tax credits for businesses that hire unemployed and disadvantaged youth and $62 million to support job training programs. Set to expire at the end of 2013, this bill would extend the program through 2014.
Currently, eligible participants for the jobs program include unem- ployed, low-income youth aged 16 through 24 who are located in one of the following areas: Albany, Brookhaven, Buffalo, Hempstead, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, New York City, Rochester, Schenectady, Syracuse, Utica, and Yonkers. Including the word "town" in the definition and lowering the population threshold from 62,00 to 50,000 for eligible participating municipalities, will expand the program to cover more at-risk youth.
