Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to a severe weather sales tax free week
Purpose
To designate the first week of November as a tax free week for emergency supplies
Summary of provisions
Section 1115 of the tax law is amended to add (kk) (1) Receipts from retail sale of common disaster supplies shall be exempt from taxes impose by this article for the first week of November annually.
Justification
Winters in New York State can be harsh and cause disastrous conditions for many of our communities throughout New York State. By designating the first week of November as a tax free week for the sale of emergency supplies, New York will be giving the people of this state the ability to purchase the supplies they need to properly prepare themselves for a often harsh and inclement winter. This legislation will encourage New York residents to prepare responsibly for the winter season, minimizing the impact on families, businesses and municipalities.
