BILL NUMBER:S939 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing personal income taxpayers with a modification reducing federal adjusted gross income for tuition paid at any institution of higher education SUMMARY: Subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax law is amended to allow for up to three thousand dollars of the amount paid for tuition at any institution of higher education within New York State provided that the expense is for the taxpayer or for the taxpayer or for a dependent of the taxpayer. JUSTIFICATION: It is well known that the key to the future of our state lies in the education of our young men and women. While it has always been the mission of our institutions of higher education to assist in the undergraduate population, recent budgetary cutbacks have severely curtailed the educational opportunity for many. In his proposed 1997-98 State Budget Governor Pataki projected an increase in tuition of $400 and cut the Tuition Assistance Program by $175 million. This comes in a time when our student population needs to be better educated, better trained and better prepared for the workforce.
