Bill > S00693

This bill extends the authorization for the town of Wallkill to impose a hotel or motel tax of up to 5%, which was originally established in 2020. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law by changing the expiration date of the tax authorization from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027, effectively giving the town two more years to implement and collect this local tax. This type of local tax allows municipalities to generate additional revenue by levying a percentage-based fee on hotel and motel accommodations within their jurisdiction. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, which means the town can continue to have the option to adopt this tax for an additional two years beyond the previous expiration date.
