Bill > A02043

This bill authorizes Livingston County to continue its existing authority to impose an additional one percent sales tax, extending the current authorization period from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Under this legislation, the county can levy a total of four percent in sales tax (three percent standard rate plus one percent additional), with the extra one percent specifically designated for Medicaid expenses. The bill requires that the net collections from this additional one percent tax first be used to cover the county's Medicaid costs, with any remaining funds to be deposited in the county's general fund for other county purposes. The additional tax will be collected in a special fund separate from other county accounts, ensuring transparency in how these funds are used. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing Livingston County to continue its current sales tax strategy with a two-year extension.
