     1    Section 1. Section 606 of the tax law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
     2  subsection (jjj) to read as follows:
     3    (jjj)  Gun  safe  credit. (1) Allowance of credit. A taxpayer shall be
     4  allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this article for the  amount
     5  incurred  by  the taxpayer during the taxable year for the purchase of a
     6  gun safe.
     7    (2) Credit limitation. The amount of the credit that may be claimed by
     8  a taxpayer pursuant to this subsection shall  not  exceed  five  hundred
     9  dollars  in  any  taxable  year, and such credit may be claimed not more
    10  frequently than once every ten taxable years.
    11    (3) Application of credit. If the amount  of  the  credit  under  this
    12  subsection  for  a taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such
    13  year, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credit-
    14  ed or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six  hundred
    15  eighty-six of this article; provided, however, that no interest shall be
    16  paid thereon.
    17    §  2.  This  act shall take effect immediately, and shall apply to the
    18  taxable year in which it takes effect and all subsequent taxable years.
