 Introduced by Sen. WEIK -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to
 disposition of revenue from new taxes and tax increases to reduce
 local real property tax levies

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 171-a of the tax law, as separately amended by
 2 chapters 481 and 484 of the laws of 1981, is amended by adding a new
 3 subdivision 3 to read as follows:
 4 3. Any amounts received from taxes, interest and penalties collected
 5 or received by the commissioner or the commissioner's duly authorized
 6 agent as set forth and prescribed by subdivision one of this section,
 7 which are attributable to an increase in the rate of such taxes over any
 8 rates which were in effect on the effective date of this subdivision, or
 9 the imposition of new taxes which were not imposed prior to such effec-
 10 tive date, shall be deposited to the tax reduction utilization security
 11 target fund established by section fifty-four-n of the state finance
 12 law. The tax commissioner and the comptroller shall maintain a system of
 13 accounts showing the amount of revenue collected or received from each
 14 of the taxes imposed by the sections enumerated in subdivision one of
 15 this section which represent such increased amounts or which were first
 16 imposed after the effective date of this subdivision.
 17 § 2. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 54-n to
 18 read as follows:
 19 § 54-n. Tax reduction utilization security target fund. 1. Beginning
 20 April first, two thousand twenty-six, and annually thereafter, each
 21 city, village and town outside a village shall receive an appropriation
 22 of state funds from amounts resulting from the increase or imposition of

 1 additional taxes as determined by subdivision three of section one
 2 hundred seventy-one-a of the tax law.
 3 2. The amount appropriated to each municipality shall be the entire
 4 amount under subdivision three of section one hundred seventy-one-a of
 5 the tax law multiplied by the proportion which the full value of the
 6 city, village or town outside a village bears to the full value of the
 7 state taken as a whole. "Full value" means for each city, village and
 8 town outside a village an amount equal to the total taxable assessed
 9 value of property on the most recently completed assessment roll as
 10 filed with the state comptroller divided by the final state equalization
 11 rate established for such roll by the commissioner of taxation and
 12 finance.
 13 3. Payments made to cities, villages and towns pursuant to this
 14 section shall be used to reduce each municipality's real property tax
 15 levy. After the initial determination of the annual tax levy, the
 16 assessor shall deduct the amount paid to the municipality and shall
 17 adjust the tax levy before filing the warrant pursuant to section nine
 18 hundred four of the real property tax law.
 19 4. Payments made pursuant to this section shall be made on or before
 20 June thirtieth of each state fiscal year to the chief fiscal officer of
 21 each city, village and town on audit and warrant of the state comp-
