Bill > A02453

This bill amends the New York State tax law to create a sales and use tax exemption for zero-emission school buses. Specifically, the bill provides a full tax exemption for the sale of zero-emission school buses, as defined in section 3638 of the education law, as well as for any parts or equipment purchased and used in the operation of these buses. By doing so, the legislation aims to reduce the financial burden on school districts or bus operators when purchasing environmentally friendly, electric school buses. The tax exemption will take effect on the first day of a quarterly sales tax period at least 30 days after the bill becomes law, with provisions allowing for the immediate preparation of any necessary regulations to implement the change. This bill is part of a broader effort to encourage the adoption of clean, zero-emission vehicles in the transportation sector, particularly in the critical area of student transportation.
