BILL NUMBER:S810
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for the cost of purchasing technology to remotely monitor persons with Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to provide a tax reimbursement towards the purchase of technology to remotely monitor persons with Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia.
Summary of provisions
This bill incorporates into the New York State Tax Law that a credit will be issued to any family member and/or home health care worker who has purchased technology to remotely monitor a person suffering from Alzheimer's disease and/or Dementia. The credit for any technology to remotely monitor a person who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease and/or Dimentia will only get a tax credit if the device is equal to or under one thousand dollars.
Existing law
New law.
Justification
Under New York State Tax Law people who purchase a remote device to monitor their family members or love ones suffering from Alzheimer's disease and/or Dementia do not get any tax credit. A person suffering from Alzheimer's disease and/or Dementia needs someone who can be of assistance at all times. Most family members must work and are not able to monitor the whereabouts and movements of their ill family member at all times. Providing a tax credit for these family members or home care workers when they purchase these remote monitoring devices, make it a more viable and affordable way to supervise their loved ones suffering from such diseases and in need of constant supervision.
