Bill > S00848

This bill amends the New York tax law to extend the authorization for Livingston County to impose an additional one percent sales tax from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2027. Under this legislation, the county is permitted to continue levying a supplemental sales tax that is one percent above the standard three percent rate. The additional revenue generated from this tax must first be used to cover the county's Medicaid expenses, with any remaining funds to be deposited into the county's general fund for other purposes. The bill specifically modifies two sections of existing tax law to update the sunset date of the tax authorization, effectively providing Livingston County with continued flexibility to generate additional local revenue to support healthcare and other county services. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
