BILL NUMBER: S4996

SPONSOR: MURRAY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the exemption of community
colleges from the imposition of the metropolitan commuter transportation
mobility tax

 
PURPOSE:

To exempt community colleges from the MTA payroll tax.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends paragraph 4 of subsection b of section 800 of the tax
law as it relates to adding community colleges to the definition of
"eligible educational institution". Eligible educational institutions
shall be exempt from the MTA mobility tax.

Section 2. Establishes effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This bill would exempt community colleges from the burdensome MTA
payroll tax. Community colleges are struggling with rising costs and
increased enrollment. The MTA payroll tax is hurting these colleges in
their effort to keep tuition down. This bill would add community
colleges to the list of educational institutions that already are
exempt.
