 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2534

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 21, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction and
 Community Development

 AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in
 relation to providing for retroactive benefit calculation for the
 senior citizens rent increase exemption and disability rent increase
 exemption

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

 1 Section 1. Section 26-605 of the administrative code of the city of
 2 New York is amended by adding a new subdivision (c-1) to read as
 3 follows:
 4 (c-1) For any eligible head of household who submits an application
 5 for a rent increase exemption order pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b)
 6 of this section, the date of such application shall be deemed to be (i)
 7 the date of the applicant's initial eligibility for a rent increase
 8 exemption order, if the actual date of submission of the application is
 9 two years or less after such date of initial eligibility, or (ii) the
 10 date which is two years prior to the actual date of the submission of
 11 the application, if such application is submitted more than two years
 12 after the applicant's date of initial eligibility for a rent increase
 13 exemption order, and the calculation of such rent increase exemption,
 14 prospectively, shall be based upon the applicant's initial date of
 15 eligibility and not upon the date of such application, provided, howev-
 16 er, that the provisions of this subdivision shall only apply to the
 17 calculation of benefits and no prior rental payments attributable to any
 18 rent increase prior to the date of application shall be subject to
 19 recoupment.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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