BILL NUMBER:S3522 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the real property tax exemption for industrial development agencies PURPOSE: To cease the real property tax exemptions covering fire and emergency services granted to Industrial Development Agency projects. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would amend section 412(a) of the Real Property Tax Law by requiring industrial Development Agency projects to be subject to Fire District and Ambulance District taxes. EXISTING LAW: Section 412(a) of the Real Property Tax Law currently exempts IDA projects from all real property taxes. JUSTIFICATION: When a project is being built by an IDA, the need for emergency services is immediate. The Districts providing fire and ambu- lance services typically comprise only a portion of a town so the impact and burden to provide these services falls on fewer taxpayers although the economic benefits enrich the entire town or county. Also projects which include industrial and business development often require the fire districts and ambulance services to purchase additional equipment and conduct costly specialized training to cope with the needs of these new facilities.
