BILL NUMBER: S3084

SPONSOR: CARLUCCI
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to income from
employment of children

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section One - Amends paragraph a of subdivision 1 of section 156 of the
public housing law, by chapter 21 of the laws of 1982 to include income
from employment of children, including foster children, under the age of
eighteen years and income from each full-time student eighteen years of
age or older, excluding the head of household and spouse, earning in
excess of four hundred eighty dollars per month shall be excluded in
calculating household income.

Section Two - This act will take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Currently in New York State the selection of tenants for low income
housing requires a "minors income above $2,000 (or lower limit that an
authority may establish) is to be included in the determining the fami-
ly's aggregate annual income solely for the purpose of establishing the
rent that is to be paid, in accordance with the authority's rent sched-
ule. This income shall not be included in determining eligibility for
'admission or continued occupancy of applicants or tenants, as the case
may be."

In some instances by some authority's in the State, part time jobs or
summer jobs that are held by minors, under the age of 18, is calculated
and budgeted as if this income is received on a monthly basis all year
long. This current practice not only deters students from working but
familiar to report all student income cad result in termination or even
criminal charges for fraud.
