Short title. This act shall be known as the "emergency preparedness month act". S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that citizens of the state of New York are not properly equipped with the requisite supplies needed in the event of a disaster or other emer- gency. The legislature further declares that the impacts of disasters are mitigated when individuals have the proper emergency preparedness supplies they need to be self sufficient during a disaster, and those individuals are less likely to require state and local assistance during a disaster or other emergency. The legislature further declares that a tax free period for certain emergency preparedness items and prefabricated go-bags shall provide the needed incentive for individuals to purchase proper supplies and equip- ment to be used in the event of a disaster or other emergency. Therefore, the legislature declares the month of September to be emer- gency preparedness month in the state of New York. S 3. Section 1115 of the tax law is amended by adding two new subdivi- sions (gg) and (hh) to read as follows: (GG) (1) RECEIPTS FROM THE RETAIL SALE OF PREFABRICATED GO-BAGS SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE ANNUALLY FROM SEPTEMBER FIRST TO SEPTEMBER THIRTIETH. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NO EXEMPTION SHALL EXIST UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH IF SUCH PREFABRICATED GO-BAGS WERE PURCHASED EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
