 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 21, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. CASHMAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Real Property Taxation

 AN ACT to amend the public health law and the real property tax law, in
 relation to authorizing real property taxing jurisdictions to grant a
 tax exemption for a primary residence purchased by a clinician in a
 clinician shortage area; and to amend the real property tax law, in
 relation to providing state aid to such jurisdictions for the savings
 granted by such exemption

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby
 2 finds that several communities within the state, particularly those
 3 located within rural areas, lack adequate access to clinicians. It is
 4 well established that ensuring the sufficient availability of physi-
 5 cians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives
 6 directly benefits the health of state residents, and the legislature has
 7 enacted several measures towards that end.
 8 Furthermore, the legislature finds that municipalities are often best
 9 situated to evaluate the needs of their communities. Therefore, it is
 10 the intent of the legislature to offer counties, cities, towns, villages
 11 and school districts the option to provide real property tax exemptions,
 12 should they determine that such an incentive would aid in attracting
 13 clinicians to areas currently underserved by the medical community.
 14 § 2. Section 206 of the public health law is amended by adding a new
 15 subdivision 32 to read as follows:
 16 32. (a) The commissioner shall biennially designate and make available
 17 a list of designated clinician shortage areas in the state. A designated
 18 clinician shortage area shall be a county or other sub-county geographic
 19 area determined by the commissioner to be in short supply of clinicians
 20 in primary care practice and/or one or more medical specialities. The
 21 list shall indicate for each designated clinician shortage area, if the
 22 area is in short supply of primary care physicians, medical specialty
 23 physicians and which medical specialty is in short supply in the desig-

 1 nated shortage area, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and
 2 nurse midwives.
 3 (b) In establishing designated clinician shortage areas, the commis-
 4 sioner, to the extent practicable, shall utilize criteria consistent
 5 with the criteria utilized to make awards for the physician practice
 6 support program established pursuant to paragraph (e) of subdivision
 7 five-a of section twenty-eight hundred seven-m of this chapter.
 8 (c) For the purposes of this subdivision, "medical specialty or
 9 specialty area" shall mean the branch or branches of special competence
 10 within a physician's medical practice as evidenced by their certif-
 11 ication by a speciality medical board acceptable to the commissioner.
 12 (d) For the purposes of this subdivision, "clinician" shall mean a
 13 physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nurse midwife.
 14 § 3. The real property tax law is amended by adding a new section 439
 15 to read as
