This bill repeals New York State's Article 17-C, which established supplemental vehicle registration fees for New York City residents. It directly affects NYC vehicle owners who paid a $25 annual supplemental fee and those paying $1 every six months for learner permits or license renewals. The repeal removes these specific fees, ending their collection and redirecting related funds (previously deposited into MTA trust accounts) from the vehicle and traffic law. The change takes effect upon enactment, eliminating these targeted revenue streams for NYC registrants.
Excludes from federal adjusted gross income the amount of any service award, benefit or allowance paid to a duly enrolled volunteer member of an auxiliary police force.

The funding ensures continuity for state services, payroll, and Medicaid payments while awaiting the regular 2025-2026 budget.

This bill (S 6015) shortens the waiting period for foreclosure on vacant, abandoned properties in Erie County from two years to one year. It specifically applies to properties certified as vacant and abandoned under New York's Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL §1309) or Real Property Tax Law (RPTL §1111). Tax certificate holders, including Erie County, can now initiate foreclosure proceedings after one year (instead of two) for unpaid taxes on these certified properties. The change modifies Erie County's tax code to accelerate the process for clearing delinquent tax properties. This affects property owners with unpaid taxes on certified vacant properties and tax certificate holders seeking resolution.
