BILL NUMBER: S2769
An act to amend the general municipal law and the public authorities
law, in relation to requiring notice and confirmation of such notice by
affected local taxing jurisdictions and school districts prior to
approval of projects by industrial development agencies
This bill would ensure that important notifications required by law to
be given by Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) are received by
affected local taxing jurisdictions.
This bill amends General Municipal Law and Public Authorities Law to
require IDAs to send notifications of proposed financial incentives for
a project and any reasons for deviation from their uniform tax exemption
policy to affected local taxing jurisdictions by certified mail, return
receipt requested. If the affected local taxing jurisdiction is a school
district, notifications are required to be sent to the school board and
district superintendent of the school district.
This amendment expands the notifications that would be required to be
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested and places these
requirements on the Troy and Auburn IDAs, which are separately author-
ized in Public Authorities Law.
Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) deliver economic incentives to
business and industry, strengthen the local tax base and support local
job creation. In order to ensure this mission, IDAs must work coopera-
tively with local governments, economic development partners and school
districts. This bill will ensure coordination and transparency among
stakeholders without inhibiting economic growth or having a negative
impact on school district revenues or local taxpayers.
