Bill > S04494

This bill extends the effectiveness of a previously enacted law that allows the city of Port Jervis to establish an occupancy tax on hotels and motels. Specifically, the bill amends an existing statute by changing the expiration date of the law from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying at hotels and motels, which can provide additional revenue for local governments. By extending the law's effectiveness for two more years, the city of Port Jervis will continue to have the authority to levy and collect this tax during that time period. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and when September 1, 2027 arrives, the provisions of the original act will be deemed repealed, unless further legislative action is taken to extend or modify the law.
