Bill > A05445

This bill extends the village of Woodbury's existing authority to impose a hotel and motel tax by modifying a previous law passed in 2023. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration timeline of the original tax authorization from two years to four years, which means the village will now be able to continue collecting the hotel and motel tax for two additional years beyond the original sunset date. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village to maintain its current tax collection capabilities for a longer period. This type of local tax authorization is common for municipalities seeking to generate additional revenue from transient occupancy (hotel and motel) visitors, with the tax typically being added on top of the base room rate and used to support local infrastructure, tourism promotion, or general municipal services.
