Bill > S04053

This bill extends the authority of the village of Highland Falls to impose an occupancy tax by modifying the expiration date of a previous law. Specifically, the bill changes the sunset date for the occupancy tax authorization from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2027, effectively giving the village two additional years to collect this tax. An occupancy tax is typically a fee charged to individuals who rent hotel rooms or other short-term lodging, with the revenue often used for local municipal purposes such as tourism promotion or infrastructure improvements. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village to continue levying the occupancy tax for a longer period than originally authorized by the 2022 law.
