                                BILL NUMBER:S1350

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to providing
for the deposit into the dedicated highway and bridge trust fund of a
portion of the sales tax revenue from the sale of motor fuel

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to dedicate a portion of funds brought in
through sales tax revenue on gasoline and place them in the Dedicated
Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends Section 1148 of the Tax Law, to read that one cent
of the taxes collected or received by the Commissioner under Section
1148 for the retail sale of each gallon of motor fuel shall be
deposited in the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.

Section 2. Section 5. Allows for an increase in the amount of
dedication to the Highway and Bridge Trust Fund at a rate of
$0.02/year as set by the effective dates in Section 7.

Section 6 and 7. This section allows for sales tax revenue from
gasoline to be directed to the Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.

Section 8. Sets the effective date for the act as April 1, 2014,
provided that § 2 of the act takes effect on April 1, 2015 § 3 of the
act takes effect on April 1, 2016, § 4 of the act takes effect on
April 1, 2017, § 5 of the act takes effect on April 1, 2018.

JUSTIFICATION:
In 2007, the New York State Department of Transportation released a 20
year transportation capital needs analysis. The report showed a
transportation system in decline. In October 2009, the New York State
Department of Transportation proposed a $25.8 billion five year
capital plan that would merely hold conditions steady. Based on
available money, research estimates a funding gap of $8 billion over
the 5 years.

There is currently a sales tax on motor fuels that generates $947
million annually, none of which is dedicated to transportation. The
dedication of $0.01/gallon, increasing $0.01/year for 5 years, would
create $65.8 million for highway and bridge use in 2012 and would
dedicate a total of $987 million for highway and bridge use by the
end of 2016 (based on a usage of 6,579.5 million gallons/year). Every
year thereafter, based on the same usage, there would be an expected
dedication of $329 million/year.
This bill does not increase sales tax on gasoline.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2010: Referred to Investigation and Government Operations
2012: Passed Senate

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on April 1, 2014, with provisions.
