A 10409 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Excludes child day care providers from restrictions on receiving financial assistance from industrial development agencies

This bill amends New York State law to allow child day care providers to receive financial assistance from industrial development agencies, which previously had restrictions on such funding. The change specifically removes child day care providers from a rule that generally prohibits agencies from funding projects where retail sales make up more than one-third of the total cost. Child day care providers are defined according to existing social services law definitions, and the amendment applies immediately to all relevant projects. The bill affects local industrial development agencies and child care facilities seeking financial support for their operations.

MINOR

This bill amends the General Municipal Law to explicitly allow industrial development agencies to provide financial assistance for child day care centers. Previously, such assistance was restricted to projects where retail sales did not exceed one-third of the total cost; this change creates a specific exemption for child care facilities regardless of those sales thresholds. The provision is temporary and will automatically expire on December 31, 2028.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of eligible projects for financial assistance by adding a specific category for child day care centers, which were previously subject to the general retail sales restriction.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a new paragraph (d) to Section 862 of the General Municipal Law that permits financial assistance for projects solely focused on constructing or improving child day care centers.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective period of the act from 'immediately' to a temporary duration ending on December 31, 2028, after which the provision is deemed repealed.

DEFINITION

Updated the definition of 'child day care provider' in the bill text to reference paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section 390 of the Social Services Law, whereas the previous version referenced paragraph (b).
