Bill > A04490

This bill extends the authorization for St. Lawrence County to continue imposing an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax beyond its current expiration date. Specifically, the legislation amends an existing tax law provision to change the end date of the county's sales tax authorization from November 30th, 2025 to November 30th, 2027. The bill allows St. Lawrence County to maintain its current ability to levy an extra one percent sales tax on top of the standard three percent rate, providing the county with continued flexibility in local tax collection. The additional sales tax revenue can help fund local government services and infrastructure. The bill includes an immediate effective date, meaning it will go into effect as soon as it is signed into law, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's existing sales tax authority.
