BILL NUMBER:S167 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to exempting assessors from small municipalities from having to file financial disclosure statements PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To exempt assessors employed by municipalities of under 50,000 inhabitants from having to file mandatory financial disclosure.

Across New York State there are hundreds of small municipalities that employ part-time assessors or share assessors with other jurisdictions. The problems with assessment practices in NYC which caused the enactment of Chapter 548 of the laws of 2003 are not the same in the vast majority of jurisdictions outside
