A02201 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A2201
 
SPONSOR: Rosenthal L

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a tax credit
for personal property replacement as a result of bedbug infestation
 
 
PURPOSE:
 
This bill offers a 15% tax credit towards the replacement of personal
property destroyed by bedbugs up to $750.
 
 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
 
Section one amends section 606 of the tax law to add subsection jjj.
 
Section two sets forth the effective date.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:

The recent bedbug epidemic has brought legitimate suffering to New York-
ers statewide. Victims have contracted bedbugs from neighbors, hotel
stays and a variety of other means. In addition to social stigma, the
afflicted have experienced economic hardship as a result of the loss of
furniture, bedding, clothing and other belongings that must be discarded
during the extermination process. Bedbug infestations are not covered by
most varieties of renters or homeowners insurance and this bill would
offer a modest tax credit to assist affected New Yorkers.
