BILL NUMBER: S3196 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting fuel used by ambulance services from certain taxes PURPOSE : To remove the sales tax burden on the purchase of diesel fuel used by commercial ambulance services certified under Article 30 of the Public Health Law in transporting and delivering care to patients. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill amends section 282-a of the tax law, section 301-b of the tax law and section 1115 of the tax law to exempt commercial ambulance services from sales tax on the purchase of diesel fuel. JUSTIFICATION : The commercial ambulance industry provides approximately one-half of all of the emergency medical transports in New York State, delivering high-quality medical care and transportation to patients. All ambulance service providers are required to treat and transport patients, regardless of their ability to pay, and commercial services have built into their corporate cultures the ethic of always delivering the highest level of care, notwithstanding reimbursement.
