New York S05475 amends the tax levy limit to exclude certain expenditures for enhanced cancer disability benefits for volunteer firefighters.

New York S05475 amends the general municipal law to ensure that the tax levy limit does not include a tax levy necessary for expenditures resulting from a local government meeting its obligation to provide enhanced cancer disability benefits to volunteer firefighters. This change allows local governments to exceed the tax levy limit for these specific expenditures if approved by a sixty percent vote of the governing body. The bill takes effect on January 1 of the year following its enactment.
