A 10107

This bill amends New York's real property tax law to expand the definition of "nuclear powered electric generating facility" to include facilities that formerly generated nuclear power, not just those currently operating. Under existing law, local governments (counties, cities, towns, villages, and school districts) can choose to grant tax exemptions to nuclear power facilities through local laws or resolutions. By adding formerly operating nuclear plants to this definition, the bill would allow these decommissioned or shut-down facilities to potentially qualify for the same property tax exemptions, special levies, and special assessment exemptions that active nuclear plants can receive, provided the local taxing jurisdiction chooses to grant such exemptions.
