BILL NUMBER: S4767

SPONSOR: JORDAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the tax law, in relation to creating a
tax credit for households or businesses that install a water purifica-
tion or filtration system

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To alleviate the financial burden on those who choose to have profes-
sionally installed water purification or filtration systems in order to
access potable water in their homes or businesses.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the executive law by adding a new subsection jjj to
read as follows: water filtration or purification tax credit. A taxpayer
who purchases and installs a water purification or filtration system in
their residence and/or business, if such residence or business is
located within this state, shall be allowed a tax credit against the tax
otherwise imposed under this article in an amount equal to five hundred

dollars.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Across the state, we have seen instances of contamination in our drink-
ing water. In many cases, the best method to reduce or eliminate the
contamination is through the professional installation of a water
purification or filtration system. The purchase and installation of the
water purification or filtration systems can cause a significant finan-
cial burden on the individuals, families, and businesses. Their water
was contaminated through no fault of their own, and they should not be
expected to bear the burden of this corrective measure.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2018: A. 10783 - Died in ways and means

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
