Bill > A03104

This bill extends the authorization for Onondaga County to impose an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. The bill specifies how the revenue from this additional tax will be distributed during two specific periods: from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026, and from December 1, 2026, to November 30, 2027. During each of these periods, the tax collections will be allocated as follows: 1.58% will go to Onondaga County for general purposes, 97.79% will be directed to the city of Syracuse, and 0.63% will be distributed to local school districts according to existing law. This allocation deviates from any previous revenue distribution agreements, providing a specific breakdown of how the additional sales tax revenue will be used. The bill amends the existing tax law to extend the county's taxing authority and provides a clear framework for the distribution of the generated revenue, with the act taking effect immediately upon passage.
