Bill > S07830

This bill establishes a Fiscal Cliff Task Force to conduct a study on fiscal cliffs in New York's public assistance programs and make recommendations on how to reduce and eliminate such fiscal cliffs. A fiscal cliff refers to a sudden decrease in public benefits that can occur with a small increase in earnings. The task force will consist of 19 members appointed by various state officials and will examine public assistance programs, tax credits, and other state-provided services tied to income. The task force will make preliminary and final reports to the Governor and Legislature, with legislative proposals to implement its recommendations. The bill will expire three years after taking effect.
