Bill > A07495

This bill amends the state finance law to implement a federal program that encourages state employees to use mass transportation by allowing them to receive tax benefits. Specifically, the bill enables state employees to file a written request with the state comptroller to participate in a federal mass transportation incentive program. Under this program, employees can elect to receive personal income tax benefits related to their use of mass transit, such as public transportation like buses, trains, or subways. The state comptroller is required to create and enforce regulations to administer this new provision, ensuring that the tax benefits authorized by federal law are properly applied to participating state employees. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, making it possible for state employees to quickly take advantage of these transportation-related tax benefits.
