Bill > S00206

This bill extends the existing authorization for Essex County, New York, to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax until November 30th, 2027. Specifically, the bill amends a section of the tax law to change the expiration date of the county's current tax authorization from November 30th, 2025, to November 30th, 2027. Sales and compensating use taxes are local taxes levied on the sale of goods and services, with the compensating use tax applying to items purchased outside the jurisdiction but used within it. By extending this authorization, the bill allows Essex County to continue collecting this supplemental one percent tax for an additional two years beyond the previous expiration date, which can provide ongoing revenue for local government services and infrastructure. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
