BILL NUMBER:S6247 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to providing mandate relief to local school districts PURPOSE: The bill allow school districts to pay back any refund of an excess assessment within three years of the date of the final order. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill allows school districts to pay back tax refunds within three years of the date of any final orders. The bill also allows the refund to be paid back in multiple installments. JUSTIFICATION: Over the last several years, many school districts, have found their school aid cut but must still find funding to meet all of the mandates that are placed on school districts. School districts statewide have been forced to cut vital programs in light of school aid costs. New York school districts need real mandate relief. This bill will provide school districts with the ability to pay back any owed tax refunds over a multi-year period helping to alleviate some of the financial burden that school districts are now facing.
