AI Summary

This bill updates the interest rate applied to judgments for tax abatements on personal property. Specifically, it changes the interest rate from a fixed 8% to a variable rate equal to the federal funds rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on July 1 of the applicable fiscal year. This change aims to align the interest rate with current market conditions, providing a more dynamic and potentially lower rate for taxpayers seeking property tax abatements.
