Bill > S00666

This bill extends the town of Goshen's existing authority to impose a hotel and motel tax by modifying a previous law passed in 2023. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from 2 years to 4 years, which means the town will now have an additional two years (beyond the original two-year period) to continue levying a hotel and motel tax of up to five percent. This type of local tax is common for municipalities to generate revenue, typically used to support local infrastructure, tourism promotion, or other community services. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the town of Goshen to maintain its ability to collect this tax for a longer period than originally authorized.
