  • Primary sponsor: Charles Lavine
  • Status: Signed into law as Chapter 241 (CH.241)
  • Introduced: May 20, 2025

This bill, by its title, addresses “base proportions” in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The specific statutory changes are not provided in the materials available here, so the exact mechanisms, formulas, or thresholds to be altered are not detailed in this summary. The enrolled text would contain the precise provisions.

What the bill would do (based on title)

  • The bill would modify how base proportions are determined or applied within Nassau and Suffolk counties.
  • Possible areas affected (typical of “base proportion” provisions) may include funding formulas, state aid distributions, or tax/assessment-related calculations used by local governments, school districts, or related programs in these counties. The exact scope and parameters (percentages, thresholds, timelines) would be specified in the enacted text.

Note: Without the enrolled language, we cannot specify the exact calculation methods, affected programs, or implementation mechanics.

Affected parties and impact

  • Primary/local governments in Nassau and Suffolk counties (counties, towns, villages, and possibly school districts that rely on base proportion calculations).
  • Property taxpayers and residents in the two counties, if the base proportions influence tax distributions or aid to localities.
  • State and local fiscal administrators who implement or administer the modified base proportions.
