Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to rent increase exemption orders
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to allow SCRIE/DRIE participants to get back to their previous frozen rent if they reapply after a non-recurring item of income causes them to be ineligible for SCRIE/DRIE for a year.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would amend sections 467-b and 467-c of the Real Property Tax Law to allow individuals who are dropped from the SCRIE/DRIE program due to a non-recurring item of income to reapply the next year and be accept at their previously frozen rent amount
Justification
This bill intends to offer prospective protection to individuals have non-recurring increases in their income. Currently, when these individuals reapply for benefits, their rent is frozen at a higher amount. Many seniors live on tightly fixed incomes and constraints on discretionary spending; they should not be penalized for a windfall. Under this bill, they could return to their previously frozen rent.
