This bill allows cities with over 1 million residents (like New York City) to add a 4.3% surcharge on personal income tax for residents earning over $500,000, effective January 2026. It applies to married couples filing jointly, single filers, heads of household, and estates/trusts. All revenue from this surcharge must be used exclusively for early childhood education programs in the city, not general funds. The surcharge expires December 2030, and cities must adopt the local law by December 2025.
Establishes a personal income tax deduction for the interest paid on student loans by individual taxpayers having a federal adjusted income of between $65,000 and $125,000, and married taxpayers filing jointly having a federal adjusted income of between $130,000 and $250,000.
This bill establishes the New York State Celiac Disease Awareness and Research Fund, funded through voluntary contributions added to state income tax returns (Section 4 of Tax Law). It requires high schools to include celiac disease awareness in health education (Section 804-e) and mandates healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.) to complete two hours of celiac disease training by 2028 (Section 6505-f). The fund will support public awareness campaigns and research into celiac disease, with no more than 10% of funds allocated to research annually (Section 95-l of State Finance Law). The bill directly affects New York residents (via tax contributions), students (through school curriculum), and healthcare providers (via training requirements).
