AI Summary

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City to allow senior citizens who temporarily became ineligible for the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) program due to a temporary increase in income to reapply for the program once their income returns to a qualifying level. The bill specifies that these individuals would be exempt from paying the portion of the rent that exceeds the amount they were paying prior to the temporary increase in income, plus any non-exempt rent increases that occurred during the period of ineligibility. The bill would apply to SCRIE applications filed on or after the effective date of the legislation.
