 Introduced by M. of A. HYNDMAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Ways and Means

 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to the donation of a human
 organ

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph 38 of subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax
 2 law, as amended by section 2 of part S of chapter 59 of the laws of
 3 2025, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (38) For taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand
 5 twenty-five, an amount of up to ten thousand dollars if a taxpayer,
 6 while living, donates one or more of the taxpayer's human organs to
 7 another human being for human organ transplantation. For purposes of
 8 this paragraph, "human organ" means all or part of a liver, pancreas,
 9 kidney, intestine, lung, or bone marrow. A subtract modification allowed
 10 under this paragraph shall be claimed in the taxable year in which the
 11 human organ transplantation occurs. Provided, however, that this
 12 deduction shall not apply to any donation for which the taxpayer has
 13 received benefits under section forty-three hundred seventy-one of the
 14 public health law.
 15 (A) A taxpayer shall claim the subtract modification allowed under
 16 this paragraph only once and such subtract modification shall be claimed
 17 for only the following unreimbursed expenses which are incurred by the
 18 taxpayer or spouse of the taxpayer and related to the taxpayer's organ
 19 donation:
 20 (i) travel expenses;
 21 (ii) lodging expenses; [and]
 22 (iii) lost wages[.]; and
 23 (iv) child care costs.
 24 (B) The subtract modification allowed under this paragraph shall not
 25 be claimed by a part-year resident or a non-resident of this state.
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
 27 have been in full force and effect on the same date as chapter 814 of
 28 the laws of 2022 took effect.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
