School district reorganizations and real property tax rates
Status: in_force

§ 3613. School district reorganizations and real property tax rates.\n1.  When two or more school districts propose to reorganize pursuant to\nsections fifteen hundred eleven through fifteen hundred thirteen,\nfifteen hundred twenty-four, fifteen hundred twenty-six, seventeen\nhundred five, or eighteen hundred one through eighteen hundred three of\nthis chapter, and under the law that would otherwise be applicable, the\nreorganization would have an impact upon the school tax rates within the\nareas served by the school districts that existed prior to the\nreorganization, notwithstanding any other provision of law to the\ncontrary, the boards of education or trustees of all the school\ndistricts participating in the proposed reorganization may opt to have\nthat impact deferred for a one-year period and/or phased-in over a\nperiod as may be determined by the boards of education or trustees of\nall participating school districts in the manner prescribed by this\nsection but which shall not exceed a ten-year period. To exercise such\noption, the boards of education or trustees of all participating school\ndistricts, after conducting a public hearing, may adopt a resolution at\nleast forty-five days prior to the special district meeting at which the\nreorganization vote will be held, to defer and/or phase-in the impact as\nprovided herein. If the board of education or trustees of any\nparticipating school district does not approve such a resolution opting\nfor a common phase-in period, the provisions of this section shall not\napply.\n  2. During the one-year deferral period, the tax rate for each portion\nof the school district shall be calculated in the following manner:\n  (a) Determine the assessed value tax rate that applied for the school\nyear immediately preceding the school year in which the reorganization\ntook effect.\n  (b) Multiply that assessed value tax rate by the state equalization\nrate applicable to the portion for the school year immediately preceding\nthe school year in which the reorganization took effect.\n  (c) Divide the product so determined by the state equalization rate\napplicable to the portion for the first school year of the reorganized\nschool district. The quotient is the assessed value tax rate for the\nportion for that school year. Provided, that if the sum of the real\nproperty tax levies in all of the portions in the school district, using\nthe assessed value tax rates computed pursuant to this subdivision,\nwould yield a real property tax levy that is above or below the total\nreal property tax levy specified in the school district budget for the\ncurrent school year, the assessed value tax rates shall all be decreased\nor increased proportionately so as to yield the specified real property\ntax levy amount.\n  3. During each year of a phase-in period, whose duration up to ten\nyears shall have been determined by the boards of education or trustees\nof the constituent school districts, the tax rate for each portion of\nthe reorganized school district shall be calculated in the following\nmanner:\n  (a) Determine the assessed value tax rate that applied for the school\nyear immediately preceding the school year in which the reorganization\ntook effect.\n  (b) Multiply that assessed value tax rate by the state equalization\nrate applicable to the portion for the school year immediately preceding\nthe school year in which the reorganization took effect. The result is\nthe base full value tax rate of the portion.\n  (c) Determine the assessed value tax rate that would have applied in\nthe portion but for the provisions of this section.\n  (d) Multiply that assessed value tax rate by the state equalization\nrate that would have applied for the current school year but for the\nprovisions of this section. The result is the target full value tax rate\nfor the portion.\n  (e) Determine the difference between the target full value tax rate\nand the base full value tax rate for the portion.\n  (f) Divide the difference so determined by the total number of years\nin the phase-in period applicable to the school district.\n  (g) Multiply the quotient so determined by the number of years from\nthe beginning of the phase-in period up to and including the year for\nwhich the tax rate is being determined.\n  (h) Add the product so determined to the base full value tax rate.\n  (i) Divide the sum so determined by the applicable equalization rate.\nThe quotient is the assessed value tax rate for the portion for the\ncurrent school year. Provided, that if the sum of the real property tax\nlevies in all of the portions in the school district, using the assessed\nvalue tax rates computed pursuant to this subdivision, would yield a\nreal property tax levy that is above or below the total real property\ntax levy specified in the school district budget for the current school\nyear, the assessed value tax rates shall all be decreased or increased\nproportionately so as to yield the specified real property tax levy\namount.\n  4. As used herein the term "portion" means that part of an assessing\nunit located within a school district.\n

As used in\nthis section:\n  (a) "Gaming facility" means any gaming facility licensed pursuant to\nthis article or a video lottery gaming facility as may be authorized by\nparagraph three of subdivision (a) of section one thousand six hundred\nseventeen-a of the tax law, as amended by section nineteen of the\nchapter of the laws of two thousand thirteen that added this section\nlicensed by the commission. A gaming facility shall not include any\nhorse racing, bingo or charitable games of chance, the state lottery for\neducation, or any gaming facility operating pursuant to the federal\nIndian Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. § 2710 et seq. A gaming facility\nshall include any hospitality operation at or related to the gaming\nfacility.\n  (b) "Labor peace agreement" means an agreement enforceable under 29\nU.S.C. § 185(a) that, at a minimum, protects the state's proprietary\ninterests by prohibiting labor organizations and members from engaging\nin picketing, work stoppages, boycotts, and any other economic\ninterference with operation of the relevant gaming facility.\n  (c) "License" means any permit, license, franchise or allowance of the\ncommission and shall include any franchisee or permittee.\n  (d) "Proprietary interest" means an economic and non-regulatory\ninterest at risk in the financial success of the gaming facility that\ncould be adversely affected by labor-management conflict, including but\nnot limited to property interests, financial investments and revenue\nsharing.\n  2. The state legislature finds that the gaming industry constitutes a\nvital sector of New York's overall economy and that the state through\nits operation of lotteries and video lottery facilities and through its\nownership of the properties utilized for horse racing by The New York\nRacing Association Inc. has a significant and ongoing economic and\nnon-regulatory interest in the financial viability and competitiveness\nof the gaming industry. The state legislature further finds that the\naward or grant of a license by the commission to operate a gaming\nfacility is a significant state action and that the commission must make\nprudent and efficient decisions to maximize the benefits and minimize\nthe risks of gaming. The state legislature further recognizes that\ncasino gaming industry integration can provide a vital economic engine\nto assist, nurture, develop, and promote regional economic development,\nthe state tourism industry and the growth of jobs in the state.\nAdditionally, the state legislature also finds revenues derived directly\nby the state from such gaming activity will be shared from gross gaming\nreceipts, after payout of prizes but prior to deductions for operational\nexpenses.\n  Therefore, the state legislature finds that the state has a\nsubstantial and compelling proprietary interest in any license awarded\nfor the operation of a gaming facility within the state.\n  3. The commission shall require any applicant for a gaming facility\nlicense who has not yet entered into a labor peace agreement to produce\nan affidavit stating it shall enter into a labor peace agreement with\nlabor organizations that are actively engaged in representing or\nattempting to represent gaming or hospitality industry workers in the\nstate. In order for the commission to issue a gaming facility license\nand for operations to commence, the applicant for a gaming facility\nlicense must produce documentation that it has entered into a labor\npeace agreement with each labor organization that is actively engaged in\nrepresenting and attempting to represent gaming and hospitality industry\nworkers in the state. The commission shall make the maintenance of such\na labor peace agreement an ongoing material condition of licensure.\n  A license holder shall, as a condition of its license, ensure that\noperations at the gaming facility that are conducted by contractors,\nsubcontractors, licensees, assignees, tenants or subtenants and that\ninvolve gaming or hospitality industry employees shall be done under a\nlabor peace agreement containing the same provisions as specified above.\n  4. If otherwise applicable, capital projects undertaken by a gaming\nfacility shall be subject to article eight of the labor law and shall be\nsubject to the enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the\ndepartment of labor.\n  5. If otherwise applicable, capital projects undertaken by a gaming\nfacility shall be subject to section one hundred thirty- five of the\nstate finance law.\n  6. If otherwise applicable, any gaming facility entering into a\ncontract for a gaming facility capital project shall be deemed to be a\nstate agency, and such contract shall be deemed to be a state contract,\nfor purposes of article fifteen-A of the executive law and section two\nhundred twenty-two of the labor law.\n
