S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6482 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y March 25, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. OAKS, KOLB, CORWIN, HAWLEY, WALTER -- Multi-Spon- sored by -- M. of A. BARCLAY, DUPREY, FINCH, LALOR, RAIA, SALADINO, TENNEY -- read once and referred to the Committee on Real Property Taxation AN ACT in relation to authorizing the commissioner of taxation and finance to study the feasibility of reducing the number of assessing units and equalization rates THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The commissioner of taxation and finance shall study the feasibility of reducing the number of assessing units and equalization rates. Such study shall include, but not be limited to, a review and the impact of the following steps: 1. The elimination of all villages (except coterminous) as assessing units, which now requires approximately two hundred seventy-five addi- tional equalization rates from being calculated each year. 2. The realignment of school district boundaries to more closely agree with town, city and county boundaries; however, taking appropriate geographical hindrances into consideration. The study shall consider the grandfathering of existing primary and secondary school children living in one and two family residences until property is transferred. For the purposes of this study, taxes are paid to the new district, with "tuition money" (taxes collected by grandfathered properties), trans- ferred from the new district to the old district in accordance with the appropriate change in the education law. This would eliminate approxi- mately fifty special segment rates currently being performed if fully implemented. 3. The requirement of the commissioner of taxation and finance to use the current assessment roll as the base year roll for its sampling of appraisals to increase the accuracy of special equalization rates. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD05898-01-5
