BILL NUMBER: S8768

SPONSOR: MATTERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing for funding for
the consolidated local street and highway improvement program and the
COVID-19 pandemic small business recovery grant program; and providing
for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE:

The temporarily use the New York State sales tax collected from online
sales . for the consolidated local street and highway improvement
program and the COVID-19 pandemic small business recovery grant program.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds a new subdivision (d) to read as follows: (1) consol-
idated local street and highway improvement program (2) COVID-19 pandem-
ic small business recovery grant program

Section 2 is the effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

One of the issue we face because of the pandemic is that more consumers
are shopping online. Due to this increase in online shopping, we are
seeing more and more delivery vehicles on our local roads. These vehi-
cles add more wear and tear to our local roads. By using a portion of
the state sales tax collected from these online sales we can temporarily
increase the CHIPS funds that our municipalities receive. In addition,
our small business have seen financial hardship due to consumers shop-
ping more online and less downtown. The other half of the state
collected sales tax would temporarily increase the funding to the
COVID-19 pandemic small business recovery grant program. This program
helps to alleviate some of the hardships the small business face as
shoppers continue to shop more online and less in-person during the
pandemic. By putting more money into these programs we can help those
who have negatively affected.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

EFFECTIVE DATE:
