Purpose and Intent: This bill aims to extend the effectiveness of existing tax exemption provisions for rent-regulated properties occupied by certain individuals, such as senior citizens and people with disabilities. The goal is to maintain affordable housing options and provide continued tax relief for vulnerable populations.
Key Provisions:

- Ensures the continued availability of the tax exemption program for an additional 5-year period
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Owners of rent-regulated properties that house eligible senior citizens and individuals with disabilities will continue to receive the tax exemption
- Tenants living in these rent-regulated properties will benefit from the preservation of affordable housing options
- Local governments may see a continued reduction in tax revenue from the extended tax exemption program
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been referred to the Aging committee for further review and consideration. If passed and signed into law, the extension of the tax exemption program would take effect immediately upon the expiration of the current provisions.
