Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the farm workforce retention credit for Nassau and Suffolk counties

Purpose

To amend the farm workforce retention credit as proposed in legislative bill numbers S6409-C and A.9009-C by providing separate tax credits for the Counties of Nassau and Suffolk.

Summary of provisions

Section 1. Provides for a new subdivision e-1 of section 42 of the tax law by establishing monetary amounts for credits for tax years 2017 through 2021.

Justification

The proposed Farm Workforce Retention Act is aimed at providing relief to farmers who are incurring increased expenses through wage escalation for the next five years. The present legislation provides for a state wide credit system. Due to the fact that the counties of Nassau and Suffolk will have greater wage costs, a single statewide credit is inequitable. This bill will give Long Island farmers a fair credit.
