Rep. Mike Lawler (R), from Rockland, sponsored the bill. "This is something to provide immediate tax relief when people struggle to pay for groceries, energy bills, housing costs up $1,000 a month in Rockland and Westchester counties," says Lawler.
If the House and Senate vote the bill into law, the change would be retroactive for the 2023 tax year.
