Bill > S08582

This bill requires e-commerce platforms (websites, mobile apps, or online catalogs) to include a feature that allows consumers to filter products specifically made in the United States of America. The bill defines key terms such as "online marketplace provider" (a platform that facilitates sales for multiple sellers), "online retailer" (a single entity selling products online), and "e-commerce platform" (the digital marketplace where products are sold). Additionally, the bill provides a tax credit incentive for online marketplace providers and online retailers who either implement the "Made in USA" filter or sell products manufactured in New York state. The tax credit would be equal to the amount of state sales taxes collected for such products and would be available for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. To claim the credit, businesses must obtain a certificate from the department of economic development specifying the credit amount. The bill aims to promote transparency in product origin and support domestic manufacturing by making it easier for consumers to identify and purchase products made in the United States, with a particular emphasis on New York-made goods.
