       AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to making the first one hundred
         thousand dollars of an individuals' private pension non-taxable
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section  1.  Paragraph 3-a of subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax
    2  law, as amended by chapter 760 of the laws of 1992, is amended  to  read
    3  as follows:
    4    (3-a)  Pensions  and  annuities  received  by  an  individual [who has
    5  attained the age of fifty-nine and  one-half],  not  otherwise  excluded
    6  pursuant to paragraph three of this subsection, to the extent includible
    7  in  gross  income  for federal income tax purposes, but not in excess of
    8  [twenty] ONE HUNDRED  thousand  dollars,  which  are  periodic  payments
    9  attributable  to personal services performed by such individual prior to
   10  his retirement from employment, which arise (i) from an employer-employ-
   11  ee relationship or (ii) from contributions to a  retirement  plan  which
   12  are  deductible  for  federal  income  tax  purposes. [However, the term
   13  "pensions and annuities" shall also include distributions received by an
   14  individual who has attained the age of fifty-nine and one-half  from  an
   15  individual  retirement  account  or an individual retirement annuity, as
   16  defined in section four hundred eight of the internal revenue code,  and
   17  distributions  received  by  an  individual  who has attained the age of
   18  fifty-nine and one-half from self-employed individual and owner-employee
   19  retirement plans which qualify under section four  hundred  one  of  the
   20  internal  revenue  code,  whether  or  not  the payments are periodic in
   21  nature. Nevertheless, the] THE term "pensions and annuities"  shall  not
   22  include  any  lump  sum  distribution, as defined in subparagraph (A) of
   23  paragraph four of subsection (e) of section  four  hundred  two  of  the
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD03331-01-3
       A. 1565                             2
    1  internal  revenue code and taxed under section six hundred three of this
    2  article. Where a husband and wife file a joint state personal income tax
    3  return, the  modification  provided  for  in  this  paragraph  shall  be
    4  computed  as  if  they  were  filing  separate state personal income tax
    5  returns. Where a payment would otherwise come within the meaning of  the
    6  term  "pensions  and  annuities"  as set forth in this paragraph, except
    7  that such individual is deceased, such payment shall,  nevertheless,  be
    8  treated  as  a pension or annuity for purposes of this paragraph if such
    9  payment is received by such individual's beneficiary.
   10    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  be  deemed  to
   11  have  been in full force and effect on and after the first of January of
   12  the year in which it shall have become a law.
